Coffee Grinder Gorenje SMK 150B

Compact and easy-to-use knife grinder with a small amount of product, designed mainly for home use. The device can be successfully used for grinding coffee beans, which is designed both for manual brewing and for filling the holders of semi-automatic espresso machines. Equipped with an inner bowl and a rotary knife block made of high-quality stainless steel. The capacity of the bowl of the Gorenje SMK 150 coffee grinder is only 36 g of coffee beans, which makes it possible to get about 5 cups of a strong and aromatic drink.

The manufacturer provides a timer to regulate the required degree of product grinding, which is important for preparing various types of coffee-based drinks. An electric motor with a classic power of 150 W provides a fairly high grinding speed — 20-30 seconds of continuous operation is enough to obtain fine grinding. In addition, the machine can also be used for grinding cereals, various types of nuts, spices, herbs and other dry ingredients. The device is equipped with a reliable lock that prevents turning on when the lid is open. There is a place for storing an electric cord, there are rubber feet-supports that do not allow slipping on work surfaces.

With a cursory glance at the case of a coffee grinder from the well-known Slovenian manufacturer of home appliances Gorenje, the eyes cling to the timer slider, which performs the function of adjusting the degree of coffee grinding.

Grinding degree

The intensity of grinding in rotary coffee grinders depends on the time spent on the work of the knives. Each division opposite the mechanical slider corresponds to a specific interval: in a short time it is possible to get coarse coffee, and in a longer time — fine. At the same time, the user still has to hold the power button with his finger — leave the grinder and go about his business, until she finishes grinding the beans, she will not come out.

Stainless steel

The knives and bowl of the model are made of stainless steel. Compared to its closest class competitors, the Gorenje SMK 150 has a small bean container capacity (only 36 g). Nevertheless, such a volume is quite enough to prepare an invigorating drink for a company of 5-6 people.

Cord winding

Special attention deserves a convenient mechanism for manually winding the power cord, which is hidden in a special niche by turning the bottom of the coffee grinder bottom. When folded, only the mains plug is visible from the hole in the bottom area.

Five points

In reviews of the model, users sometimes appear dissatisfied with the degree of uniformity of grinding. But the vast majority of device owners like everything. Gorenje SMK 150 is preferred for its attractive design, good functionality and high reliability. It does not take up much space, there is nothing superfluous in the design of the model, and besides, the coffee grinder mostly handles with its work on the “five”.
