Sound Shield Electric Coffee Grinder for Quiet Grinding, Stainless Steel Blades, Beans, Spices and More, 12 Cups, Black (80402)

This is a GREAT coffee grinder! After purchasing two Hamilton Beach grinders that had declined in quality since the last one I owned, and were as loud as airplane engines, this one is far and away the best grinder out there. 1. It's quiet. The sound shield really does work, it just emits a low grinding sound - you can carry on a conversation while it's operating. 2. Easy to use. The inner lid locks easily and you just place the clear sound shield over it and press down. No fiddly little buttons, super easy! 3. The inner metal grind bowl comes right out for cleaning, replace it by just dropping it back in its place. Nothing to snap, totally simple. 4. Grinds evenly and fast - about 10 seconds for 2 tablespoons of beans. 5. The cord is a good length, and there is capacity to wind it around under the unit. However, since I use it everyday I just wrap it around the grinder - it's not super easy to stow the cord, but the other features outweigh that slight inconvenience that I wouldn't drop the star rating for it! In short, BUY THIS GRINDER! It's an absolute winner!

Sleek, easy to use, worked quickly, nice removable cup. This thing is quieter without my earmuffs than my other coffee grinder was with them.

UPDATE: I have been using this for about a month, now. I really like it. The sound is baffled enough so it doesn't wake the whole household. It grinds well. I am still trying to get that perfect grind. If I let it grind for 8 seconds, it's not enough, and 10 are a bit too much! I need to remember to count 9 Mississippis to get the right grind. Tough to remember before your first cup of coffee! I decided I wanted to start buying whole beans and grind them for my morning coffee. I am not a connoisseur, so I didn't want to spend a lot. This machine is easy to use, easy to clean and does the job well. I only use it for coffee, so I wipe it out with a dry cloth or paper towel after each use. Wonderful!

I've had this now for 3 months and I grind my coffee almost every day. It does have an extra plastic top so it muffles the sound of the grinder, but it is not 100% quiet. I would say its about 70% quieter than a regular grinder. The grind itself is good and it grinds fast. It is a quality product, not flimsy. The plastic is sturdy, as are the stainless steel blades. Its easy to work as I have arthritis in my hands. Its easy to clean either with a dish-cleaning wand or throw it in the dishwasher (top shelf) for a deep clean.

I love this grinder! OK, first let me say, I'm kinda new to coffee, meaning I only recently started making my own at home, cause I bought myself a ninja coffee machine from here on Amazon. So I went to the grocery to get coffee, and then I faced a decision, do I buy a bag of already ground coffee? Or whole beans? I figured whole beans must be fresher so I checked Amazon quickly how much a grinder will cost, I saw one from this exact brand actually, Proctor Silex, for only like $12. So I ordered that grinder right away, and bought the bag of whole beans (from Peet's), and I've been using that for like a month now, daily, grinding the coffee right before brewing it has been amazing. But the one issue I was running into, is that if I wanted a coffee late at night, it would be a big issue cause of the noise of the grinder, I live in a urban area so my neighbors wouldn't appreciate that. So when I was desperate I'd wrap the grinder in towels to muffle the sound a little, but it was still really loud. So my first try at solving this was, to buy a manual grinder, I figured I'd use that when I can't make noise. But..... Alas that didn't work out at all, cause the grinder I got is just so slow that it would take me hours to grind a few scoops. So that didn't work. But now when I came across this item, I was like ok, that seems worth a try, it's the same brand as my current grinder, doesn't even cost much more... So I got it. And bingo! Seems like my problem is solved this time. Yes it still makes some noise of course, but way way WAY less than my other one. And there is another thing I like about this one, that the coffee plate part comes out, so after grinding I can just take out the plate with the grounded coffee to pour into the machine filter thing. So that's a added convenience of this machine that I love. So I'm very happy with this purchase, it solved the noise problem for me, and it seems to work great.

Easy to use. Good capacity with great grindability. Easily cleaned. One of the quietest grinders I've used.

Very nice coffee grinder! Well build and quieter than most grinders.

This was to replace my old grinder that seemed to be about to explode. This grinder has a bit larger profile but is so quiet and efficient, I wish I’d bought it sooner. Good quality at a good price.

Hasta el día de hoy, me encuentro satisfecho con el producto. Muele perfectamente el café en muy corto tiempo y la cantidad de café molido que se obtiene es mucho más de lo que necesito para 5 tazas. Su único pero, que no cuente con cepillo limpiador.

Using it for spice grinding rather than coffee and for that purpose it is working pretty well. I have a previous generation model that I use specifically for coffee and it has also held up well. On the smaller side but does the job.

Absolutely love this grinder, for coffee and spices. Quiet and quick. Recommend this!!

Quick, quiet and efficient.

Easy to use, but a little bit bigger than I expected!
