I have 2 of these grinders, purchased a few months apart. One is used for decaf (for my pregnant wife) and the other is used for regular beans. As far as grind quality I have not had any problems; they both give me a perfect grind for my Sunbeam EM6910.
But a few comments/concerns:
The second grinder I purchased came with a stainless steel hopper lid whereas my first grinder came with a black plastic one. Both boxes featured the black lid on the pack so I called Sunbeam to find out why the difference. They tell me that they now come with the stainless lid? Thats fine, but should you be like me and have two of the same then you like them to look the same. Anyway, after refusing to pay for a replacement they sent me another black one free of charge. After all, I wasnt getting what was shown on the box. Some may say that the stainless lid is better but I like the simple black one better as it looks more commercial. Problem fixed.
The second issue I face is that the grind settings are very different on the two models when using exactly the same beans. On my original one I have the grind setting on about 10 whereas on the newer one it sits on 15! I took the newer unit apart to see if the burr wasnt sitting flush but nope? They are just different? I havent spoken to Sunbeam about this and in the scheme of things I guess it doesnt matter but it would have been nice if they were calibrated the same.
Anyone else using two of these grinders with such differences?
