First time I used it worked well,second time I used something was not working well,Third time it started smoking big time and quit😳

I always wondered why my coffee never tasted as good at home as it did at many coffee shops. The short answer for me is that my coffee was not ground finely enough.

When I first asked why coffee at home was not as good as the coffee shops there were a few possible reasons.

Am I using quality coffee? Is my coffee maker of sufficient quality? Is the coffee fresh enough? Am I choosing the best type of coffee for my taste? Am I using enough coffee grounds? Is my water hot enough? Is my water pure enough?

I experimented with all of these things with varying measures of success. Of course water and coffee quality makes a difference. Coffee has to be relatively fresh and the water needs to taste good. But the taste of home brew was never close to a good coffee shop.

I use a Keurig coffee maker. Different flavors of k-cups tasted differently but were never great. I started using reusable filter cups because I hated to throw away all those plastic coffee containers and it was cheaper to buy bulk coffee.

It didn’t seem to make a big difference whether I used store bought ground or whether I used a blade grinder. I had never heard of a burr grinder until friend of mine bought an expensive coffee make and discovered that other coffee fanatics recommended a burr grinder as well. I was always a little intimidated and the prices these people were paying for a grinder.

I realized that the coffee grinder at the grocery store grinds the beans finely and that it was probably a burr grinder. I gave it a try. This was an epiphany for me. The biggest improvement in coffee taste came from using a burr grinder and choosing a fine grind. I used the store grinder for a while, but being a publicly available grinder it was subject to heavy use and spotty maintenance. The grounds did not always turn out the way I liked.

I was pretty amazed that I found the Mueller SuperGrind at this price point and form factor. The Mueller SuperGrind is the perfect tool for my home use.

The Mueller grinder is easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store. I grind about a pound a month maybe? I keep the grinder on a pantry shelf most of the time, so the smaller form factor is convenient. I spend about 20 minutes a month grinding coffee. I keep the grounds in a canister. It doesn’t make a difference to me whether it is fresh ground daily or I store the grounds less than a month. It hasn’t made a difference if I store the grounds in the refrigerator or the shelf Again the biggest factor is taste for me is the fineness of the grounds.

The build quality of the Mueller SuperGrind is solid. the parts slide into place easily and it is easy to keep clean with a brush. The fit an finish is nice. The appearance is nice enough to keep on the counter top if you have the space.

Because I like a finer ground, it does mean I have to keep the Keurig coffee maker clean. Some of the finer grounds come through the filter and settle in the coffee maker. This little bit of added maintenance is worth the improvement in taste.

My only complaint is that there are two dials and it is not intuitive to know which dial controls what and in what direction. Keep the manual for reference. The directions on the Amazon description here are good enough in a pinch.

I highly recommend this grinder. It solved the taste test for me.I can express enough how big an improvement it is in my daily coffee drinking. This improves every coffee bean type I have ever bought. I even reground store bought ground coffee at a finer setting and it improved the taste.
