is this a conical burr grinder

This is Not a conical burr grinder--it's a disk burr grinder. Conical grinders are a lot more expensive and are listed as CONOICAL, but may be worth it for those who like their espresso.

I would say so...it's the one in the picture. The neck broke. We get ground coffee now and frankly, it's just as good.

I use mine strictly for coffee beans. I read in other reviews that people had problems with clogging while grinding grain. My beans are very oily, but have yet to have an issue with clogging.

I would say the one I have same one on the picture, and it isn't worth the money, it just went totally dead in few months, I replaced this with a grinder that I bought from starbuck in 1999 and it did ran perfect until july 2013 !!

Yes, it is a blade grinder. I love this grinder. The grind is perfect. Great grinder for the money.

I'm not sure about the burrs, but it does make a range of grinds from course to too fine for my use.

It is cone shaped--rather steeply, in fact (more so than the Cuisinart I owned prior to this one). Not sure what that does to the coffee, the point of the cone has discolored over time but I am not noticing a large difference in the quality of the coffee.

I am not sure because this is a manual burr I'd like to say that it's a wheel burr grinder.

I'm not sure what a conical but grinder is. This one has two flat bur surfaces, one stationary the other rotates against it.

I believe the bend you are referring to can be seen in Amazon's picture. If that's what you are asking about then yes my grinder has it too. Normal.

Yes, it has an "air tight 8oz bean hopper" according to the box. I still leave mine beans in the pack because there are no rubber seals in that "air tight hopper"... and the air can escape through the plates... So not really air tight... and not a conical burr grinder either. This is flat plate.

It has a very smooth finish. The one I ordered has no burrs on it at all and works like a champ.

Yes, its a blade grinder. The quality of the grind is so great! There are three grinding options, really so useful for someone likes taking a special coffee! Easy handling.. I liked this very much!

Absolutely. Ordered mine from amazon and it's the same. Best grinder in the game wouldn't buy any other.

If I remember correctly the base has a conical fit. Either the fit is contaminated or is drilled at a angle.

I'd say conical. The pieces look very similar to the image under the heading "Vintage Hand Conical Burr Grinders" at http://vintagecoffeegrinders.com/

Hi, I have the same grinder and have never had that problem. If you haven't done this already, remove the collet completely, check for any burrs inside and try your bit in it off the grinder. If it still doesn't fit, perhaps the bit isn't the right size? All the 1/4 inch burrs I've bought have worked well in mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...

This is a cordless grinder ! This is NOT a drill , please understand that who ever listed this as a drill is wrong

Yes. The instructions show you have to remove the upper burr for cleaning. You can brush the lower burr with the supplied brush. I also use a can of compressed air to blow out the chute and burrs. The whole grinder can be dissasembled and burrs replaced if they wear out. There are even instructions for calibrating it finer than it originally ships (see the video on u-toob). It is made to be easialy taken apart and adjusted and repaired.
