    Default Anyone have the Mr. Coffee coffee grinder?

    I just bought one and can't for the life of me make the darn thing work! I've even read the instructions (not something I normally do.... ) and Gripey even tried (he can make anything work). Help! Is there a trick I'm missing?

    I'm sorry it's not working, I don't have one but I was hoping once you get it working if you can let us know if you like it. I've been thinking of buying one for my fiance for his birthday next month.

    We use the Braun and it's very straightforward. Hope you figure it out soon. Freshly ground coffee is awesome!

    I don't have one but found this online. Maybe the blades have an obstruction the lid isn't sitting right on the pin to make it grind. Also wonder if there is a safety switch you have to hold onto when you grind or something. Or maybe you just have a dud.

    If you look up on Amazon.com and read the reviews for your product, you might find out what's wrong with it. People often find little quirks about their gizmos and discuss them in the reviews of the product.

    I've never had a problem with mine, but I have no idea if it is the same model as yours.

    Thanks for the replies and the link Dar. I finally after many bad words got it going. I already had my coffee for the morning but I just made a batch of (supposedly much healthier than regular) banana nut bread and have an idea we're gonna have to have some coffee to wash it down Anyway thanks girls. I hope it works from now on for me. I think something was just stuck. I had it in the right position and everything and finally it just took off.
