Best Coffee Grinders for Chute

static causes the ground coffee to grab the glass canister and the exit chute, but overall the grinder is much more efficient than the other grinders we've used.

the chute is too narrow as someone else here pointed out but you can shake it rather than stick a spoon in it, and it doesn't happen that often.

where the a-9 fell down - with regard to design, function, and the constant need for regular maintenance (cleaning of the "chute" and burrs) - the pro line simply excels.

i have found, as others have noted, that on occasion the beans have to be "helped" down the chute; i use the end of the accompanying brush and that sends the beans on their way without further

1)you need to clean the 'chute' (???) that sends the ground coffee to the container quite regularly or else, as it gets quite clogged up.

the chute from which the grounds are expelled projects slightly into the collecting bin, so they are all neatly collected without spillage.

2) the chute carrying the grounds to the bin does clog...

also, the exit chute builds up residue as well and it was also cleared.

however, inside the base there are a couple of pieces out of reach, and really fine grinds tend to collect just inside the chute that dumps the grinds into the hopper.

the top chute and hopper are easy to wash and clean, but the base of the ginder is down about 3in inside the unit which is hard to wipe clean.

again, the static cling is annoying, but i keep a slim painters brush nearby for the purpose of brushing out the chute and receiver which makes the task quick and easy.

and smack!) the side becuase the grounds get backed up in its internal chute.

as a bonus, the grounds hopper has this lovely little chute that is perfect for pouring espresso grounds into my porta filter.

>it won't handle oily beans-- they just clog up the chute.

exit chute is not easily cleaned.

7) every couple of weeks the chute that spills the grinds into the bin needs to be cleaned.
