Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi DCG59 Retro Burr Grinder
Customer Review: A fine addition to my kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I'm just a TAD bit addicted to gadgets, and can be talked into buying things I'll use a couple of times and then no more, but when my sister got me a present of whole coffee beans -- she knows how much I like good coffee and was surprised I didn't have a grinder of my own -- I got this one. I've had it for close to a year, grind two cups' worth every morning, and couldn't be more satisfied. The upper container holds about a half pound of beans, and keeps them fresh. The lower container receives the ground coffee. There are two dials -- one for fineness/coarseness, and one for quantity. It doesn't take much to figure out either. First time user suggestion: Measure your normal amount of ground coffee into the lower container and make note of the marking. Then in the future, use that setting for the timer. Some have commented on noise. I really don't expect a grinder to be QUIET, but this is not exceptionally noisy. I watch/listen to the morning news in the same room, and don't have to adjust the volume. And the coffee.... It's wonderful! And that's the point.
Description of DeLonghi DCG59 Retro Burr Grinder
Delonghi retro burr coffee grinder with Dual Safe system. The grinding wheels stop if the ground coffee container or bean container is removed.Experience the uniform, precision grind of a burr coffee grinder and you?ll never go back to the blade style. The burrs act in a similar fashion to grindstones, one on top of the other, and the closer they?re set together, the finer the grind. Also, burrs emit less heat than blades, and heat can negatively affect the taste of coffee. Elegant and nicely weighted, this 85-watt, retro-look grinder with rubber feet sits securely on the counter and grinds beans without the slightest hassle. To use, simply put the beans in the top container, twist it to set it at one of eight settings from extra fine to coarse, then turn the timer dial. If you need enough ground coffee for a twelve-cup pot of coffee, that?s exactly how much will be ground. A chart on the lower grind-collecting container specifies how long to set the timer for the amount required. The lower container with its tight-fitting lid pulls off the machine so the ground coffee can be shaken out or kept inside for storage. The top container unscrews for cleaning by hand. Measuring 11-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 4-1/4 when assembled, the grinder stores even more compactly when the two containers are removed. For safety, the grinder will stop or simply not start if parts are not connected properly. Because a short cord is safer, the three-foot cord pulls out of the base to just the length you need, and retracts when a dial on the bottom of the grinder is turned. DeLonghi includes a plastic coffee measuring spoon and warranties the grinder for one year. --Ann Bieri
