Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Coffee devotees know that an efficient grinder can be the secret to a great cup of joe. This model from KitchenAid delivers efficiency and more--from an oversized bowl to dishwasher-safe materials. Powered by a 200-watt motor, the grinder features a permanently attached stainless-steel blade that mills beans quickly and thoroughly. A generous four ounces, the brushed stainless-steel bowl is mounted to the motor housing with a clockwise turn and etched with handy reference markings. The machine turns on when you push down on the clear polycarbonate cover and off again when it's released. As a protective feature, the grinder only operates when the top is in place, so fingers are never exposed to moving blades. Solid and attractive, the grinder is also designed for frequent use and is easy to clean. Both its bowl and top cover go in the dishwasher, while the rest wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Emily Bedard

Like all KitchenAid appliances, this is (for home use anyway), a very heavy-duty product that will provide years of trouble-free use.

After breaking my old, inexpensive bean grinder, I went to a kitchen store and bought a burr-type grinder. I was VERY disappointed, and returned it the next day. Perhaps it's just me, but I guess I don't like the way burr-type grinders work... they're almost impossible to get really clean, as the grinding mechanism is all but inaccessible.

This thing breaks down very easily into dishwasher-safe parts (other than the electric base, of course... but that part never gets grounds on it anyway.)

You can tell from the first time you use it, that it is designed to last. And though I don't really see a reason for doing so, you could probably grind a coke bottle in it!

Buy this. You won't be disappointed.

***UPDATE - NOVEMBER 27, 2007***
I didn't realize how long I've had this, so I just checked my "order history" with Amazon. I bought this grinder on January 3, 2003... so it's coming up on FIVE years, and it is STILL going strong!

I stand by my five star review! :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool Messy Beauty, June 20, 2004

Yes, it has a cool modern design that looks great in your kitchen. It has the Kitchen Aid name stamped on the front to give you that "Yes, I am a cook, I know what I buy" appeal. It cuts fast through coffee beans into a fine grade for your morning java, but what a mess. There are only 2 of us that drink coffee at our household, making 2 cups each weekend morning, therefore the size of this machine is not an issue, but there is a big major flaw with the design. I believe the clear plastic cover cup that fits over the stainless steel container needs an EPDM or Neoprene gasket ring to stop the coffee grain from spilling unto the kitchen table. We use a simpler solution; we place a napkin under the grinder to collect the dust. When the grinder is finished, we empty both the container & the napkin into the coffee machine. Compare the other brands or models before going for just the brand name.

Sleek and stylish looking on the counter next to stainless steel or black appliances. Extremely easy to clean. Just 2 large parts to rinse after use, they disassemble quickly. Contrary to some reveiws, it does NOT make a mess, so long as you do not fill it to the brim. Strong motor for its size and grinds the beans quickly and evenly. Nice size, 9"H x 4"W. Almost the size of a half gallon milk container.
