Krups F 203-42 Electric Coffee Grinder Clair

As the title says, I purchases two units at the same time with a specific purpose for each and a label maker. One was for Coffee and one was for Spices. Both of them has worked reliably for years and are so easy to clean if you follow the instructions. I typically use a dry cloth to get all the dust from whatever is ground and then follow with a damp cloth. Due to the metal cup, as long as you at least wipe the dust away with a dry cloth it won't carry any flavors over (I use a lot of cloves in my spice designated grinder) if you need to use it multiple times for different flavored coffees or spices. I very much recommend this product, and if you care to look at the manual and recommendations in it, you can tell the brand cares about its product and the use for it's consumer.

My husband and son gave this to me for Christmas. It's stopped working last week. It makes noise like it's working but then does nothing and overheats.

Type 203- Is a workhorse. I'm tempted to buy another just in case this stops working one day & if KRUPs ever goes away or sells. Hopefully they are still keeping the same quality in construction because this is amazing! I have wiped mine down so many times-The word KRUP is no longer on the front of it and the inside of the lid has had pieces chipped off it by the swirling beans-But that might happen after 35 years of wiping it down. Keep up the quality work KRUPS!!!

I've had this style of grinder for decades. All of them have failed in the same exact way, one side of the a/c cord breaks after years of flexing where it comes out of the grinder. A simple repair for most people but the clips that hold the bottom of the grinder on are designed to break if you try to release them. Why? This is infuriating. Unlikely I'll purchase another one for this reason alone. Wasteful.

We inherited this Krups 203 grinder from my wife's father and have used it occasionally over the years and today it finally stopped working! This could be 40-50 yrs old? Hope you still make products this simple, great and lasting, unlike almost every other home appliance today built with planned obsolence!
