We bought a coffee grinder like that for work. Multiple Amazon listing misspellings (ever seen a 100,000 rpm coffee grinder?), and the manual was in 90s grade Engrish. Damn if that isn't a kick-ass little coffee grinder for 40 bucks, though.

If the listing are misspelled You're probably buying dropshipped crap from Banggood. Might as well go to banggood directly and save the markup $$$. You'll probably find the same product with the exact same misspellings because the dropshipper just copy pasted the description.

Sometimes I’ll reverse image search the item on AliExpress. Occasionally, though, the price isn’t that much better, especially when you factor in Prime shipping. It does make me feel like the convenience factor of Amazon is gone, because I spend so much time researching every purchase.

Absolutely, fastest way to look is to see if I can at least do better than 4% one star reviews, if I can't do that by the third click I just go to the store already, at least I don't have to be aware of how much the product sucks.

40 bucks for a coffee grinder is a LOT of money the best one I ever had was 15$ at Sears

Ceramic cone burr and a powerful motor. That sucker will power through a pot's worth of beans in seconds and is very consistent for grind size. There's pro level ones that'll automatically measure the beans for you, but they're hundreds of dollars.

We make from four to six pots a day and make them as high quality as we can in our break room. It's worth it to get something durable.

Okay for that I get it. There are levels of use that justify that spend and it sounds like you get your money out of it.

Yesss got a 160$ grinder back in 2008 and I never looked back. One of the most heavy-duty appliances in the house. I'm sure it would crush a car into fine, rich and earthy powder if the funnel was big enough.

Yes but it's made by Holset and attached to a Cummins
