I bought my Krups coffee grinder in 1984. Approximately 13,000 grinds later, I used it this morning to make coffee for Mary Jane and myself and it worked the same way as it always has: perfectly. I’ve never used it to grind spices or anything else, only coffee beans. It’s the most dependable appliance that I’ve ever had, outlasting five or six food processors, several stoves, three or four refrigerators, lotsa microwaves, and who knows how many other appliances. Krups is still making them and they look like this:
Exactly the same! This one costs $18.94 from Walmart. If my 35-year-old coffee grinder ever conks out, guess what I’m buying to replace it. Too bad Krups doesn’t make automobiles.
