Best Coffee Grinders for Chamber

you load coffee into the top chamber (2tbs per cup please) and hold down the lid until it automatically turns off.

it also says it has a "chaimber maid" system...all that is is three thin plastic "claws" that hug the inside of the grinding chamber which you rotate awkwardly so that they scrape the sides of the

the "chamber maid" feature is somewhat useful, but on the fine grind setting, a lot of coffee still sticks to the inside.

the only con is the finely ground powder sticks slightly to the inside of the grinding chamber due to the oily nature of coffee bean.

the inner chamber of the grinder (surrounding the burr) had to be scraped with a small screwdriver blade to dislodge the build-up.

spice grinding: it works well enough for less oily seeds like cumin, but is a disaster for grinding dried ginger (much too hard) or cloves (too oily and clog up the grinding chamber).

the only bean i had trouble with was large garbanzo beans, which i simply emptied the contents from the chamber and saved the small amount of flour produced.

cons: coffee sticks to chamber causing allot of clean up, little noisy.

the selling feature for me is the removable coffee chamber.

yes, some residual coffee "dust" coats the plastic grind chamber, but that is what the brush is for, if you really want or need to get every last speck.
