Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi DCG39 Electric Grinder, 2.36-Ounce Capacity
Customer Review: A bit over-priced for what you get
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this because I had a burr grinder that couldn't do an espresso grind and a regular grinder that took a while to do an espresso grind. I also had a $30 gift card for a store I never buy anything at so I was looking for something I would use. I actually thought I was getting a burr grinder, since $30 is rather expensive for a grinder which just has a spinning blade and the description on the other web site was rather sparse.
What is nice is that the espresso grind works very well. It may be the cheapest option out there that does a good espresso grind. Other, cheaper grinders can do it, but you have to know how long to grind, whereas this one tells you when the grind is right. What stinks about this grinder is that you have to hold down the button until the "espresso" light comes on. If you are only after a coffee grinder for a drip coffee maker or a French press, get a cheaper grinder such as this Proctor Silex E160B Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder, White or a burr grinder. Burr grinders with a hopper for the ground coffee can handle more volume and make less mess, but the cheaper ones don't do an espresso grind. This one may be the cheapest one that gets to the espresso grind right easily, but it doesn't handle volume and it's hard to get the coffee out without making at least a little bit of a mess.
Description of DeLonghi DCG39 Electric Grinder, 2.36-Ounce Capacity
This sleek coffee grinder features a 2.36 capacity, grinding enough beans for up to 12 cups of coffee. You have full control with a grind selector for coarse, medium, or fine grounds. Durable stainless steel blades; rubber feet keep unit in place. Convenient, self-contained cord storage. Push button control; auto shut-off. Model DCG39. Manufacturer's 1-year warranty.With a capacity of 2.36 ounces, this sleek machine employs stainless-steel blades to grind enough coffee beans for brewing up to twelve 5-ounce cups of percolator, drip, or espresso coffee. The grinder can be filled with beans and the amount of beans it grinds can be selected with a dial that's calibrated by number of cups desired: 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12. During operation, lights above the on/off button flash on the grind selector, indicating when the grind is coarse, medium, or fine, permitting the grinder to be shut off when the desired grind is achieved. The grind selector displays the words "coarse," "medium," and "fine" along with the brewing method appropriate for each grind: respectively, "perc" (percolator), "drip," and "espresso." Clad in gleaming black plastic with matte silver accents, the hourglass-shaped grinder is thoroughly contemporary in appearance and has a rubberized grip and push-in cord storage. Rubberized feet prevent it from slipping during operation. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
