Sunbeam MultiGrinder II EM0405 Questions & Answers

Two little lugs on the lid, hold the lid on but also switch the power on for safety. When one breaks off, the grinder only works with the lid one way and does not work when the lid is moved half a turn. When both break off it does not work at all. On my first grinder arrived one was already missing. The replacement one now has one missing, they are very brittle, not at all suitable for the purpose.

Also I've noticed that ground coffee can get into the groove around the top of the body and prevent the lid from closing completely to switch on the power. The lid needs to be screwed on HARD.

I preform multiple grinds in succession. I 3/4 fill the grinder up and it takes about 20 second to grind. I've never experienced the grinder to overheat. I hope this helps.

You cant!

Just wanted to say thanks. I bought this for my mom and she said it wasnt working . I asked her to tighten the lid and yay it worked fine.

sunbeam 0405 coffee grinder lid seal is cracked so it wont allow the grinder to make a circuit. Where can I buy a new lid for the grinder

Hi how long should I grind coffee beans for a proper coffee machine ?

Hi Remi,
Are you following the instructions booklet? Especially, closing the lid till it clicks into position. Next time you go to return it to a dealer try using at their shop and they might be able to help you as it should be under warranty.
Thanks Rak

Hi Temi,
As Rak said, the grinder will not work if the lid is not fully in it's closed position (it needs to be turned until it locks).
The chances of buying two faulty units in a row is unlikely, but still possible, given the number of people who have experienced failures straight out of the box.
Personally, I'd get a refund and try another brand.
Good luck.

We have had our multi grinder now for easily 18 months and it is still going strong. We loved it so much we bought a second one so we can have 1 solely for coffee and herbs and spices in the other. I would say if anything they have improved it, as we have never had a motor burn out or any of the other problems people have had, neither have been replaced for any reason. Hope this helps.

We've only used ours for coffee beans and raw sugar and worked great. The size of the grinder is about a cup. If doesn't work out for wheat I'm sure you'll use it for something else!
