Progressive Hardwood Coffee Grinder Cleaning Brush

After I ordered this, I found another of an almost identical design (but with somewhat fewer and slightly shorter bristles--made by a different manufacturer) at a local cookware store for the same price (but of course no shipping charge--just sales tax). So with the cost of shipping the price of this brush is perhaps a bit high.I use this to clear out the leftover coffee grounds/powder in my Krups coffee bean grinder without having to move the blades around (to get loose the coffee stuck underneath them). It seems to work well for that purpose, and I just flick the bristle tips with my finger to clean the brush. Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black

I purchased this brush to clean a KitchenAid coffee grinder that could not be immersed in water. As I cleaned it after each use, it worked well even through the bristles were on the soft side. For my use, the softer bristles worked okay as I could “swish” it around the container to clean all of it .In the end, I purchased a newer coffee grinder that could be washed and no longer needed this type of brush.

This seemed like such a good idea - a more sanitary replacement to using my finger to get the rest of the ground coffee out of the grinder. It seems to work for others, which makes me wonder how old and dry the coffee beans are that they've been grinding. I use  Kicking Horse Coffee Three Sisters Medium, Whole Bean Coffee , and find that the ground coffee beans stick around the inside of the grinder - and this brush is not strong enough to break the caked coffee up. I have to run the wooden end of the brush around the inside of my coffee grinder to loosen it - and even then the brush doesn't do particularly well in brushing the last of the coffee out. The bristles are just too soft - and as another reviewer mentioned, they fall out easily. I've been losing a few every time I make coffee. In a month or two, I wonder how many I'll have left?

This works fine but I would have preferred stiffer bristles. I was replacing an existing one that was at least 15 years old with nice stiff bristles that could stand up to the grinder blades. This is service-able but I don't see it lasting as long as the other did.

It's an OK brush, but the bristles are too long and soft. I'd love to find a coffee brush with stiff, shorter bristles. Also, as others have stated, bristles start falling out on day one - it's just a fact of life.

I returned this product because it began losing a large amount of the brush bristles within about a week after I began using it. It could have just been a fluke, or it may just be a poor quality product. I must say that Amazon's product return policy could not have been easier, but alas, why keep a brush that begins falling apart after about 3 or 4 unstressful uses!

This is a difficult item to find off the internet. Even though it was acceptable, it was not of the quality that I had hoped for, but it arrived on time and it does function for its intended purpose.

Don't waste your time or your money. It's a cheap piece of junk brush. Absolutely NOT worth the $5 - $10 I paid. Shame on you!!
