De'Longhi, Coffee Grinder KG79, Black & DLSC058 Coffee Tamper, Stainless Steel

Smart looking little unit { boxy, deco'ish } that works brilliantly , simple to use, just set your grinding level, how many cups its for { I use just under recommendation } press start and allow the machine to do its work, { very quick and quieter than others I have used } if your moving from a spinning blade type grinder to this burr type you will be impressed by how constant and uniform the grind is, good large hopper for your beans, easy to remove the burr mechanism to brush clean, The only downside I can see is the catchment ground coffee hopper, its on the flimsy side { lid fitting } and has a lot of static in it { just tap on your work top to release } overall a very impressive little machine that easily fits into my kitchen and life, after using a burr grinder I will never return to a blade one { mine is now a herb grinder } so take the leap if you are thinking about it, I did and I don't regret it.

After studying budget burr grinder reviews here and elsewhere I decided to buy the De Longhi KG79. Some reviewers say it doesn't grind coffee fine enough for espresso, however I find the result on the minimum setting is a fine powder which works well in my espresso machine. It's at least as fine as ready ground espresso coffee and the powder clumps together as it should if held in the hand. Certainly the taste of the coffee it produces is very satisfying, which is the main thing. The De Longhi grinder is extremely easy to use. Just put enough beans in the hopper, select the grind and the amount required and press the button. I find it produces a little more powder than selected, but this isn't a bad thing. Rather too much than too little. I haven't had any problem with the ground powder not being collected properly and spilling under the machine. It all ends up where it should. Because the powder is fine some can collect in the upper corners of the box so I just tap it gently on the worktop after sliding it out and before taking the lid off. The lid on the bean hopper and the powder collection box fit snuggly and positively in the grinder. This is integral to the safety mechanism as the grinder will not work unless both the lid and the collecting box are correctly in place. It also adds to the high quality feel of the machine. Obviously grinding coffee isn't going to be silent, but I don't find this machine too noisy. If it runs out of beans the noise gets much louder, so I always check sufficient beans are in place before starting the machine. Overall I couldn't be happier with this De Longhi coffee grinder. It looks good, is well made and produces the fine coffee powder necessary for espresso machines.

Perfectly adequate grinder with one or two disappointing features. The bean hopper doesn't hold a whole bag of beans, which is irritating. The lip for removing the grounds container is quite small and difficult to hold with arthritic hands. After grinding, the static in the grounds makes spillage almost inevitable because of the side opening. My previous grinder (a different make and seemingly no longer available) had none of these issues and lasted more than10 years. However the machine does the job effectively and has controls that are easy to use

I spent some time considering the best way to "upgrade" my coffee experience using a 12 year old Russel and Hobbs combi coffee maker. I like my coffee made with the expresso method, but with a bit more water than most peoples tastes. I looked at £300 bean to cup machines, new combi devices at around £125 (I need to be able to make pots of coffee too) and finally settled on this £32 grinder and a £6 water filter jug for beter water quality. I have to say as I sit here drinking my freshly made coffee I am very pleased with my purchaes, I do not think I coud have found a more cost effective way to improve the quality of my favorite drink. It looks,smells and most importantly tastes better than ready ground coffee. I only grind enough coffee for one cup at at time and put it into the machine within seconds of grinding, with it ready presurised and the jug and cup ready warmed. From everything I have read I think using good quality beans, water that tastes nice on its own, and having as short a prepartation time as possible is far more important than the kit you use. The machine itself is very compact and exudes quality despite its plastic casing. The settings are straightforward and seem acurate. It is a bit fiddly getting the ground coffee out without making a bit of a mess, but I am getting used to it. As for the fineness of the grind I can only say it is perferctly good for my tastes, I use it about 2 clicks up from finest and thats plenty good enough for me. Its certaily a lot finner than the ground coffee I was using. As for longevity well we will have to see. If the machine lasts a couple of years befere it dies I think I will have had my moneys worth. At that point I can either buy another one or perhaps upgrade to that £300 cup to bean machine afterall. This comes highly recomended to anyone using ready ground coffee, together with an inexpensive water filter.

Inte så högljudd som jag befarat. Maler kaffet precis som förväntat. Ett bra köp.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this De’Longhi grinder — it has truly transformed my home coffee experience. From the moment I unpacked it, the build quality just stood out: the stainless-steel blade assembly feels robust, the transparent bean hopper lets me monitor the process easily, and the compact footprint fits neatly on my countertop. Grinding performance is excellent. I’ve been able to adjust between fine for espresso and coarse for French press with ease using the cup selector, and the results are remarkably consistent. The 120g bean capacity is ideal for prepping several cups in one go without over-grinding or wasting beans. I also appreciate how the lid locks securely and the container pops out cleanly for quick emptying and cleaning. Coffee flavour has noticeably improved. Fresh grounds mean more aroma, better crema, and a richer taste in every cup. Whether I’m making a quick morning espresso or sharing a pot with friends, the grinder keeps up and delivers reliably. Maintenance has been straightforward too. A quick wipe of the hopper and blade container after use keeps it clean; no mess or fuss at all. The power cord wraps neatly underneath so it doesn’t clutter the counter. Overall, this grinder offers superb value. For anyone serious about their coffee, the De’Longhi KG79 (ASIN: B002OHDBQC) is a smart investment and exactly what I was looking for. Five stars without hesitation!

Great grinder. Works like a charm. Has the auto stop function which is great. 👌
