Key Features
Grinding Capability
This grinder uses sloped sides to help funnel the beans down and into the stainless steel blades. This grinder can grind at a rate of 150 grams per minute, which is slightly faster than other brands.
Capacity
These blade grinders are not designed to grind too many beans at any one time. They will heat up if over used and that can damage the motor. Over heating can also taste the coffee beans and not in a good way.
This TSM6A013B model can hold up to 75 grams of ground coffee which is ideal for making a few cups or mugs of coffee.
Safety Feature
Most blade grinders can not be switched on until the lid is attached and closed. This helps avoid accidents from the spinning blade. This is a standard feature on any good blade grinder and this model does have that.
Easy to Use
There is really no difficulty in using one of these. You put your beans in, attach the lid and then pulse the beans until you achieve the desired type of grain from coarse to fine.
There are no complicated settings on this type of grinder. The lid is transparent so you need to look in to see when the grain is ready for use.
Other Features
This grinder measures 9 x 9 x 17 cm and weighs 623 grams. The blade is made from stainless steel.
You can hide the wire away when storing as it wraps around inside the base.

Overall the reviews are very good and there are plenty of them which shows that this grinder does sell consistently online. There are little to no complaints about this grinder, other than a few buyers being sent a European style plug by mistake. This model rates very well when compared to others and buyers are clearly well impressed.
