Wilfa CD Automatic Electric Coffee Grinder Svart CGWS-130B, Black

I'd known of this electric grinder for a while - used to be available from Hasbean, now called something else, of which I was a longstanding customer. When my Porlex hand grinder (Japanese made, very good indeed) finally started to wear, I made the jump to electric after 50+ years of hand-grinding beans - and I haven't regretted it so far. Buying it from Amazon made sense, no cheaper elsewhere and delivery was very quick.It didn't take me long at all to establish the two settings I need: half a litre of filter (using Kalita steel filter cup/filters into a German vacuum jug) first thing, then late morning a single cup in the Bialetti stovetop. For the former I set the Wilfa beneath the "A" in Aeropress, for the Bialetti it's set beneath the "O" in Mocha, works just right for me.I've seen some reviews mentioning grinds sticking with static inside the ground coffee receptacle: sure, this happens a little bit - but it always happens with any grinder, manual or electric, varying with the type of bean and the ambient conditions. It really is not a problem.So far the Wilfa works pleasingly well, efficient and easy, not too noisy or bulky, well engineered.

After some deliberation between this and the Baratza Encore, I made the plunge and chose the Wilfa Aroma as the upgrade to my Hario Skerton.The grinder itself is extremely easy to use, it has a total of 2 buttons and 2 dials. Very difficult to misuse. Only criticisms would be the slightly fiddly bean hopper lid, and the grind setting adjustment dial being the bean hopper, which leads to slight awkwardness when changing the setting.The grind quality itself is, for the price, amazing. I'm not sure you can get grind quality this good anywhere else for the same cost or less. I have zero complaints about grind quality, it's not perfect, but it's the most bang for your buck option out there.The ground coffee bin is definitely a point of criticism. There isn't an aspect of it that I don't on some level dislike. Rather than being a simple cube or cup shape, the grounds bin is a geometric nightmare, seemingly designed to make pouring the grounds out as annoying as possible. It's nothing unbearable, but it is annoying.The grounds bin does have some anti static coating, and paired with a puff of water from a spray bottle results in next to no static, so that's not an issue.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. The grinder isn't perfect, no product is, but for its cost it's the closest to perfect you can get. Would recommend to anyone looking for an entry level electric burr grinder.

Grinds well, easy to use, but poorly constructed. I have already gone through 2 in 2 years with different issues. The first one's motor gave out after just over a year, and the sencond one left me unable to reinsert the burr afyer cleaning. Save your money for a better constructed grinder, you get what you pay for.

Very good quality built, easy to dial, easy to clean, it's not an espresso grinder but it never pretended to be, easy to use, so far very happy with this purchase, will see in a few months...

Box arrived damaged, all dusty inside the box, returned for refund. We already have this model, easy to use, makes an excellent grind. Ordered this new one from Amazon as a present, will now buy from another source.

Update for review below: "Whilst my experience with a couple of Wilfa coffee grinders left a bit to be desired initially, I must say the customer service department really stepped up to the plate. They kept in touch via email, requested a video showing the fault, and then, blow me down, they sent a brand spanking new machine and even emailed to let me know it had been dispatched. It's been a few weeks now, and peace has been restored to the household. As I mentioned before, when a Wilfa grinder is working as it should, it's a proper asset, and there's simply nothing like the smell and taste of freshly ground coffee to get the day off to a cracking start."I did my research and purchased the silver version of this machine in late December 2024, it failed after 10 days. Returned it, upgraded to this one and it worked from 6th January 2025 until 15th March and failed again. It would not grind coffee. While the machine looks good, it does not have the build quality I was hoping for, considering the cost.It is not expensive but also there are many others available at a lower cost. For what I paid for this machine, I'd be better off buying a grinder for less, and if it break in a year, buy another one. It would be a lot less aggrevating and disappointing.Both machines came with a little crack by the grounds reservoir but this did not affect the working of the machine, in hindsight, I should have returned the second one too but that was too inconvenient.When it works, it is a good machine, does the job, lots of settings and looks good too.I've emailed Wilfa, lets see how they handle this.Too bad about the quality.

I love this grinder, but I should specify I've no idea how it will perform for espresso grinds. Foe me it's usually grinding for aeropress, which it does superbly.Bought this to replace a Dualit model which broke after years of service. So, not in the best of moods when I received it. The best tribute I can give it is I wish the dualit had broken way earlier. This grinder does everything that little bit better. Grinds seem more even, it has more precise settings, it's even cleaner with the collection chamber being fed from the top not the side - which means less loose grounds on you worktop when you remove it. Its not 'the replacement Coffee grinder', its the grinder i wish id had all along.Cons? Well it's a bit larger than my previous one, but also heavier, and feels better built - which isn't something I often say when comparing with Dualit. Personally I like how it looks so that's not really an issue. I initially thought it was a shade expensive, but it's won me over.
