9. A legendary coffee grinder even coffee snobs will adore.
Has a 200-watt motor and lid-activated safety switch, grinds up to 3 oz. of coffee beans in seconds, yields up to 12 cups of coffee. Blades can also grind herbs, nuts, grains, and more.
Promising review: "I bought this particular one as a gift; I have an identical one, which is still working after a decade. I grind my coffee beans (daily) just prior to brew time. This is great for holding just the right amount of beans for a typical 12 cup drip coffee maker. The lid is great for scooping out organic beans from a large bag. At night I fill the coffee maker with cold filtered water then fill the grinder with beans, put the lid on, and then in the morning I only have to grind and brew; the grinder keeps the beans stored very well overnight. It can be cleaned out easily, especially if you use it for more than grinding coffee beans." —Paul Andrew Anderson
