Been buying various types of beans for 10+ years and settled most of the time on Woolworths Organic. I usually buy a 1Kg bag and decant this into a glass jar with a tight lid
The grinder is a Severin Burr Grinder. It takes about 30 seconds to grind enough beans for 2 cups
About 6 weeks back, it started to make a strange noise after 10 seconds and stopped. I emptied out the beans from the hopper but the grinding wheel seemed jammed. All attempts to release it failed. Took it to the supplier who reported that a stone has jammed in the machine and it was unrepairable
Bought another, same make. Sifted through the coffee and found another stone and several twigs. Mentioned it to Woolworths who promptly told me that my complaint is unique
So purchased a 500gm bag of beans. All ok for 10 days. Then halfway through grinding, it stopped. Emptied it out. I can see a small bent nail jammed between the wheel and conical cavity
This is now the second grinder to be written off. Woolworths seem unfazed and all they wanted was the bar-code of the product. I asked them to pay for the grinder, to be told that was quite impossible. Grinder costs R1200 odd
