wmelnick Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Don't ever use a blade grinder! They destroy coffee beans. They are good for spices (cardamom, etc) but for coffee always use a Burr grinder. W
Panda Girl Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 What's the catch ?? Why are they giving them away? Would love to have another burr grinder that way I could have one with Decaf and one with regular
bigshopper Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I orderd the burr grinder and added the coffee sampler pack. Those are my three favorite coffees in the world, literally.
bigshopper Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 By the way, the beans are green, not roasted. If you don't home roast, the beans won't do you any good. I am getting a roaster for Christmas, so I got the beans as well.
wmelnick Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I ordered one grinder, then the other grinder. The order lists both for free+$7.95 shipping. Let's hope they ship both. I need a spice grinder (blade) and it never hurts to have a spare burr grinder if you are as much of a coffee addict as I am. W
wmelnick Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 oh, and before I forget, for green coffee, you usually cannot beat http://www.sweetmarias.com
maddux31 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Shipping was $9.95 for me, but still a good deal. Looked like a pretty nice burr grinder, so I ordered one. Thanks.
miller205 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks!! I have been wanting a burr grinder but they can be expensive. So excited now!!
lori12563 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Thank you for the link, I am going to try the burr grinder. Always have used the other one.
adonairoi Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I just ordered a burr grinder last week... argh. Anyone ever try their coffee before? I've always wanted to try roasting my own.
320driver Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, it's $9.95 shipping now and that is listed on the page and in the shopping cart. Word from another forum is that they just changed it to $9.95. Still a good deal if it is decent quality.
websoccermom Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks, I just ordered the burr grinder...
miller205 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Would love to try their roaster someday. Maybe after the holidays I will order.
320driver Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Has anyone actually received theirs yet? I ordered on 11/20 and received an order number but have not received it and their tracking on their website just takes me to their home page.
maddux31 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Has anyone actually received theirs yet? I ordered on 11/20 and received an order number but have not received it and their tracking on their website just takes me to their home page.I was wondering the same thing. I have also tried to use the order tracking feature and it just directs me back to the home page. Guess maybe I will have to call about this one:confused:
320driver Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I should have added that my credit card has not been charged yet either. I'm wondering if they are out of stock on these "free" grinders.
bigshopper Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I have not received mine either and I have tried e-mailing with no response. I tried calling and the number was repeatedly busy. I even ordered the beans to go with the free grinder. I have seen on another site that some people on there said that they have gotten their grinders already, so I guess it is just going to be a while until they get all of the orders processed.
Jillsky Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 OK, I rec'd the "free" grinder & just wanted to forwarn everyone NOT to buy one...it's junk! Also, wanted to echo what a previous poster said about not using a blade grinder. You really need a good quality Burr grinder, especially if you need it for a espresso machine!

miller205 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Has anyone else gotten an email that the Burr grinder is out of stock and they will be sending a better model? This is too good to be true...was wondering what anyone else had heard?

320driver Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Got the same out-of-stock email Saturday. I immediately emailed them telling them to cancel the order, that I did not want the blade grinder. Of course that is the third email I have sent them since 11/20/07 with zero response. Been trying to call the toll free customer service number to verify that my order has been canceled and it has been busy all day so far. Their behavior on this has pretty much guaranteed I will never use them for anything else.

I really do not have any use for a blade grinder and I hope they dont try to send it to me... If they do send it I will contest with credit card company and keep the blade grinder and I did not request it and it was sent anyways. That is the law... later,frank
bigshopper Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I just got off of the phone with this company. I ordered the beans and the burr grinder and when I finally got through (took a week of trying), and they told me that the beans had been on backorder and that my order was shipping out today. I asked about the burr grinder and she confirmed that the grinder was shipping with the beans. I won't hold my breath since the grinder sounds like it is about what it cost, but they are at least answering the phone today. I had sent a rather scathing e-mail earlier this morning about their horrid customer service, then I got through. Kinda ironic isn't it.
320driver Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Finally got through to them on the phone. He canceled my order and apologized when I said I had email 3 times and never received a response. I will say this situation would have been worse if they had charged my card at the time of order (3 weeks ago) and THEN behaved as they did. Like fjp999 said though, I would have disputed the charge anyway.
Jillsky Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Which grinder did you get? The Burr or the Blade grinder?I got the Burr grinder which does not grind fine enough for my epresso machine. Actually, it barely even works! (I actually have a Ranchillo Rocky Doserless grinder but need one for travel--I'm a coffeegeek lol!) I have Zach & Dani's smokeless home roaster too. It keeps breaking and the customer service for that company has a lot to be desired. :(They don't answer my emails & the girl who works the phone is not service oriented.
