SHARDORAdjustable Coffee Bean Grinder Electric, Herb/Spice, Espresso Grinder with 1 Removable Stainless Steel Bowl, Matte Black

I didn't get this for coffee beans. The manual says to use it as it was intended only - for coffee. But others grinded seeds, and that was my reason for buying it. So far, it's ground my pumpkin seeds into a perfect "meal" that is soft and more easily digestible. I recently also ground up sunflower seeds and it worked great! Sometimes, the powdery meal sticks to the bottom, but no problem, you gently take the point of a knife and loosen it up and then just dump it out. I love this and am extremely happy to have "researched" many of these on Amazon and made this choice.I might add that it takes a while to get used to unlocking the bottom part where you put the seeds or coffee beans. I had a little trouble with it at first and thought to myself, "am I that weak"? or is there a problem with this? But I kept trying and finally got it. I think at first it's stiff or difficult but after a few times, it got easier.They say to just wipe it out to clean it, but I very carefully just give it a rinse with water and then let it dry out in the strainer. That is, both the detachable bottom part with the blades and the plastic top part.I always use the 30 seconds and hold it down but never even run it the full 30 seconds. It doesn't even take that long to grind up the seeds. The blades and speed work really well. It's very well made. I can't speak to how it grinds up coffee beans, though, but the majority of people who are reviewing can speak to that. I speak for the minority who may want to grind up seeds. Go for it! Great to grind up seeds for smoothies, too - though that's not my purpose at the moment.I bet if you threw a few nuts in there, such as walnuts or almonds, it'd grind them up beautifully. I've not tried that yet.

I just received today and did test it right away..,. I bought it mainly to been able to do small portions of tahini for my homemade hummus… i have a ninja blender with several attachments, a food processor and hand blender and I have to do larges portion in order those can process it evenly and homogenized… i did test this grinder and it works perfectly… i did 2 spoons of tahini, perfect amount for my portion of hummus… very easy to do… i spend around 1 minute and do it little by little because i was afraid of overheating the machine… the grinder cup goy hot, but I think was because sesame seeds were hot when I processed it. Also very easy to clean.

Greg grinder for the price one of Amazon’s first choices works well

Great grinder, very powerful.

Timer actually works perfectly. I needed this for coarse grounds for my French press and the timer is accurate.

Great grinder, super quiet!

I use this to grind my coffee beans. Works great! Not too loud. It's easy to clean. The grinding cup pops out, making cleaning easy

Good capacity and excellent bean grinder. The top locks in place. Also less noisy than other grinders. It’s worth the small extra cost.
