Grinds well, also sturdy and quiet December 26, 2008
I had an older model Krups before this, which worked pretty well but this one is an improvement.
First thing - this is MUCH quieter. My old one I used to wrap a towel around at night since it used to wake up my son, who was a baby when I first got it. Something about that sound bothered him more than other loud noises. I'm sure I'd have no such problem with this one, and it's just more pleasant to use.
It grinds just fine - no problems there. As with most coffee grinders, there's a lot of static cling with the ground beans sticking to the lid. But I've always put a few drops of water in with the beans before grinding, and that does the trick for this model too.
It feels much sturdier than my old one and the lid locks into place nicely. Also the "well" where you drop the beans is very wide and deep, so you can pour the beans right into the grinder instead of pouring them into the lid, tilting it right side up to grind, and then upside down again to catch all the ground-up beans. That was the routine with the old one.
Overall, it's been great. Especially for the price.

The Krups GX4100 has made our dreaded task of grinding herbs to powder much simplier. A fantastic deal for the money. I would recommend this product for anyone wishing to powder their home-grown herbs.
 Not a great option for spice grinding November 1, 2008
I received this product as a gift, as the salesperson promised that it would work great for grinding spices. It doesn't. Uneven grinding, not catching some of the spices that sit on the bottom, and others spray to the top of the cover where the blades cannot reach, and if you have to use it for longer periods of time it heats up and blanches the flavor out of the spices. The plastic top has cracked and pieces broken off so many times (but continues to partially snap into place) that the spices spray everywhere when used.
I do not use this for coffee grinding, therefor I cannot give a review as to it's performance for which it is originally intended. This is only for those who do a lot of spice grinding.
Krups grinder September 24, 2008
Awesome grinder. I use it for grinding flax seed. It is every bit as good as it is advertised.

Bought the Krups GX4100 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder because it was similar in design to a Braun grinder we had earlier and it had the nice stainless steel and black look we wanted.
I was aware of the static clinging problems reported by others and have noticed a tendency for the ground coffee to cling to the unit. Not a big problem. Just tap the unit before emptying.
The clear platic top is a bit quirky in the way it fits. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's okay.
Overall it's a good grinder that does a nice job on the coffee beans. Haven't tried it for spices but I imagine it would be fine for that as well.
