KRUPS F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder

I purchased the KRUPS Precision Electric Coffee Grinder because of its solid reviews, compact size, and promise of grinding coffee beans evenly and efficiently. For the first few weeks, it worked great — quick, consistent grinds whether I was prepping coffee or blending spices. It was easy to use, clean, and didn’t take up much space on the counter. Unfortunately, about a month in, it suddenly stopped grinding properly. The motor still runs and makes a shrill, whirring sound, but the blades no longer spin or engage the beans. I tried cleaning and checking for clogs, but nothing worked. It seems like the motor is spinning without actually driving the blade — possibly a mechanical failure. Amazon is great in understanding the issue and providing the resolution by refunding and accepting return. What I liked: Compact and sleek design Powerful motor (while it worked) Good grind quality early on Issues: Stopped working after ~30 days No obvious fix or way to repair Durability is questionable for daily use. May be better for spice grindig. Final Thoughts: When it worked, it was perfect for quick morning grinds and even handled spices like cloves and peppercorns with ease. But the early failure was disappointing, especially from a trusted brand like KRUPS. I hope this is just a one-off defect and not representative of all units. I’ve submitted a return request, and I’m hoping for a quick resolution. I’m sharing this in hopes that it helps others make an informed choice
