De'Longhi Electric Coffee Grinder, 110W, Burr Grinding System, 12 Settings, Stainless Steel Blade, 12 Cup Capacity, 120g Bean Container, Removable Transparent Lid – KG79, Black

Best home quality coffee maker I have for years no complaints

At around AED 150, this grinder initially seems like a great deal for beginners looking to grind fresh coffee at home. However, after using it for over a year to make V60, I strongly advise against purchasing it. This grinder is an example of poor-quality design targeted at consumers looking for affordability. The outer build quality is subpar, with cheap plastic materials and poorly made buttons and dials. The motor is excessively noisy and underpowered, and the burrs are exceptionally bad. The plastic catch box is poorly designed, creating a lot of static electricity that causes coffee to stick to its walls, making cleanup frustrating. In terms of performance, this grinder is severely lacking. Its burrs and motor produce inconsistent grinds, with big chunks of coffee and lots of fines, regardless of the grind setting. The grind adjustment dial is narrow, with large jumps between clicks, making it nearly impossible to achieve the desired consistency. Among all the grinders I’ve encountered, this is by far the worst in grind quality and consistency. If you're considering this grinder to start grinding fresh at home, I suggest reconsidering. Grinding fresh coffee is indeed important, but not with this grinder. If you’re on a tight budget, I recommend opting for a high-quality hand grinder or buying freshly pre-ground beans from a local roastery in small quantities for better results. This grinder will only lead to frustration and subpar coffee experiences.

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 product!!

Very good product although grinder comes out sometimes. You have to be careful it’s placed properly.

I am satisfied with this machine and brand. I have been with deloghni since 2014. Thank you your products.

Ok-ish grinder for beginner. Worked well for mocha pot coffee. I switched to proper espresso machine (EC885). The machine couldn’t produce the grind I wanted. Not for espresso. Later I found a way to modify the device. Pretty easy to do. Have to open the grinder. Now the device grinds super fine and have to make is more coarser. Have to see how it goes now. Been using it for more than 2 years.

I’m extremely disappointed with this DeLonghi coffee grinder. It stopped working in less than a month of normal use, which is completely unacceptable for a product from a brand I trusted. I expected durability and reliability, but this has been a frustrating experience. The grinder stopped functioning without any clear reason, despite being handled carefully and used as intended. I would appreciate it if the seller could contact me as soon as possible to resolve this issue, whether through a replacement or refund. Looking forward to your prompt response.

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

Pour moudre du café

Works very well so far. Important to add a drop of water to the beans to avoid static.

Fantastic to make your own coffee !

Easy to use, works well gives a good grind for the machine I have. Bit noisy....
