So it's generic, but its the dirt cheapest BURR quality grinder, I am tossing up this $77 AU or the $200 AU Good Guys Breville.
This adds a further 10% I just noticed to the cheapest (with postage free/considered) of this class of coffee grinder.

Banter welcome, as I know reliability might be an issue, buts its pretty damn cheap for something that's not a 'spice mill', and looking at the simple design it should be fairly reliable based on the lack of angles and spaces between motor and burr grinder.

Update: The seller currently has a $2 off coupon for over $30 spend but you need to click "get coupon" on the sellers page. (30 left today/so far)

    I use one of these and a power drill.

      HAHA! I tried that the other day with my porlex clone… didn't work as the drill seemed to slip!

        How good is the Porlex Clone?

        My Porlex handle is starting to slip off really easily…

          Good, but it gets tiring, and the handle does slip off (up easily)

          @mitchins:

          Is there any way to replace the shaft / repair the top of the connection point?

          Mine slips too… seems to be a design flaw

      • Spam Service on 11/10/2016 - 13:34

        Mine has a hex head, so the drill fits fine. Not as elegant as a bench-top grinder, but it works well.

    Look at it this way - you know the AliExpress one will break (besides the whole question of the quality & consistency of the grind), so you'll end up buying something like the Breville Smartgrinder anyway, so why bother? For the difference in price I wouldn't even take the risk.

    It looks like a piece of junk.

  • Brouw3r on 11/10/2016 - 13:32

    Doubt it's BPA free given that it's polycarbonate and made in China.

    • bargaino on 11/10/2016 - 15:21

      Doesn't matter if its not in contact with hot liquid for an extended period.

    This Burr image makes it look pretty flat.. I'm not convinced it'll grind much better than a spice mill if that's the real Burr.

    Add to that the plastic body… I agree with the above. Better to pay a bit more for a Sunbeam EM480 (or whatever the model number is)

      Like this?

      It's cheap but looks decent and claims conical burrs.

      I LOVE my Sunbeam Em3820 Cafe Espresso II

      • ESEMCE on 11/10/2016 - 14:23

        Precisely.. That's got a plastic body too, but at least has a reputation of being decent… there's also a EM480 model with a cast alloy body, the grinding mechanisms are identical I believe.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2016 - 15:06

          Thanks.

          Nothing wrong with good quality plastic, it's quite a long-lasting material if you treat it with some care, and makes it lighter.

          @mitchins:
          I have the EM480 and bash it about to get the coffee out… It builds up inside otherwise.
          I wouldn't want to do that with the plastic model!
          There's a mod I've read about that is supposed to help, but I haven't actually tried to do it.
          Been going strong for coming up to 6 years now.

          @scubacoles:
          Interesting, where does it get stuck, in the exit chute?

          Perhaps there's some moisture or something?

        • klownz on 11/10/2016 - 16:22

          My housemate bought that model and was using it to bulk grind coffee for sale at the markets…

          Can vouch for its quality… didn't give up over that 3-4 months with intense grinding.

        • ESEMCE on 11/10/2016 - 16:54

          @mitchins:
          Nah, it's a design flaw..
          The hack is to Dremel out some plastic I think.

  • wfdTamar on 11/10/2016 - 18:37

    I've used the Sunbeam one that comes with the 6910 espresso - can't remember the exact model number , but all those EM4x0 ones are similar. Very inconsistent grind. Then got a Smartgrinder and it's far better - much easier to get a café quality cup each time. It was pot luck with the Sunbeam ones.
