Krups Expert GVX231 Burr Coffee Grinder UK Review 

This is our review of the highly buyer rated Krups Expert GVX231 burr coffee grinder. This particular model costs under £50, and it has sold in its thousands across the United Kingdom.

If you are looking for a burr grinder, that can grind enough coffee quickly for 2 cups and up to 12 cups of coffee, then this one can do that with considerable ease.

It can also do a wide range of grain thicknesses, as it has a pretty amazing 17 different settings. We have included an image of this model just below.

There are hundreds of different burr grinders on the UKmarket. When I am reviewing a product like this, I try and find why I would buy this one, as compared to the others.

The brand name is very well known, and it has sold a lot of this particular model. If this was poor quality, then it would not be making consistent high volume sales.

We did a list of the top 5 burr coffee grinders for under £50, which you can read by clicking here. This Krups model came out at number 4 on that list.

What makes this one different to the others is the amount of coffee that it can grind. Some of the others higher up the list could not produce the volume that this one can.

Below we have identified what we believe to be the most important features, and the ones that will help you decide, if this is the one for you. We have listed these below with an explanation of why they may be important to you.

Amount of Beans it Can Grind

This is what sets this one apart from many of the other burr grinders available at the moment. This one can grind enough fresh coffee beans, for up to 12 cups of coffee. At the same time if you just need a couple of cups, it can do that easily as well.

To pick the right amount of coffee to use, simply hit the cup selector button, and this grinder works out how much coffee you need. There is no need to worry about how many beans to use, or how much coffee to grind.

Fineness Selector

Many of the burr grinders on the market offer a few selections of fineness. Not that many can offer 17 different choices. So whether you need a coarse grain for your filter coffee, or a very fine grain for your espresso machine, then this one can deliver that.

Other Features

There are a few other features worth mentioning.

Bean Capacity

This grinder can hold up to 225 grams of beans. The reality is that it is best to avoid ever filling up any grinder with fresh coffee beans, unless they are going to be used really quickly.

Coffee beans are always best kept really fresh by sealing them in the pack, and storing them in a cool dry place. It is however good to know that should you have people around for coffee, then this one can handle plenty of cups.

Removable Upper Burr

You can pop out the upper burr, and that makes it a great deal easier to clean.

Safety Lid

There is a a safety lid which ensures the grinder can not run until the lid is on and sealed. That of course is to prevent any accidents from spinning burrs.

We found this useful video on YouTube, which shows you this grinder in action. This is certainly worth a look, as it takes you through the key features of this popular grinder.

This is in my opinion a good grinder for home use. So unless you want one that grinds on an industrial scale, then this one makes good choice. All grinders will clog if they are not cleaned, so make sure to do that.

It becomes really clear when reading the reviews, that this model Looks well, is well made and has a large bean capacity, with plenty of grain fineness settings.

It has a black plastic housing, with a nice looking brushed steel fascia. The cup selector is really useful, and the grinder is also pretty easy to clean.
