This glass on this jar is slightly thicker than the original one that came with my machine. But that's a good thing.

Disaster struck as I was washing out the original glass ground coffee hopper for my trusty Kitchen Aid Pro Line Burr Coffee grinder. I called KitchenAid's 800 # and was sent a replacement within several days. Some reviewers say the replacement is thicker glass than the original. I don't notice any difference, not that I had the two side by side to compare. I am just very happy that KitchenAid parts are so reasonable and easy to come by. Thank you KitchenAid!

A replacement part for the original glass jar fits perfectly and rarely, if ever, develops that static electricity which causes grinds either to stick to the jar or explode in all directions typical of plastic bins. To prevent grinds from landing on the deck when removing the jar, just vibrate it a couple of times before pulling it out.

Oz is right, this is a heavier version than the one that originally came with the grinder. It felt heavier so I weighted it and it is. It is a bit sturdier. Some people have complained about the one that came with the grinder, saying it felt fragile. Maybe this will satisfy them.

The container is simply a glass globe which fits the Kitchenaid coffee grinder. It was a perfect fit and was original equipment as manufactured by Kitchenaid. The first one arrived in a thousand pieces (literally). The shipper had mailed it in its original light cardboard carton from Kitchenaid with a thin styrofoam cover. Not enough to survive the postal service (or any other service). They had to resend a new one, but even this time it was just placed inside another box, it survived but I was a bit surprised that it did. Great price, glad to find the item, but more thought needs to be put into shipping things.

We needed to replace the original coffee jar provided by the manufacturer. The replacement glass piece is not as heavy as the original.

The biggest complaint that I have about the Kichenaid Pro-Line coffee mill is that the ground coffee jar is too thin and fragile. I bought this as a replacement after the original broke. This jar is even thinner and lighter, coming in at 123 grams. The original weighed 143 grams. I'm disappointed by the thoughtless design. Why can't the jar be thicker and stronger? It gets two stars for fitting the mill. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend it.

I agree with some of the other recommendations made. The replacement jar is thicker than the original so I believe it will last much longer.

Just as good as the original grinder jar, I believe that this is all I need to say about this item. Thank you

Made a mistake buying from SmallAppliance.com rather than going to shopkitchenaid.com. Paid $25.99 for a flimsy, cheap replacement coffee grinder bin when I could have paid $12.99 at shopkitchenaid.

NO mention in the Amazon listing that the "KitchenAid 4176728 Ground Coffee Jar" is not actually a KitchenAid product.
