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
Product Description
One of the secrets to fabulous coffee is grinding the beans yourself, releasing the oils and flavor right before brewing. With your own grinder you can also control the fineness of the grind, another important element in the coffee equation - too fine and you'll end up with bitter sediment in your cup, too coarse and your coffee will be weak and insipid. Enjoy KitchenAid performance and reliability with this fine grinder.

I Love My New Coffee Grinder!,
By Coffee Lover (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White (Kitchen)
I love my new Kitchen Aid Coffee Grinder! I guess the best part is that I can leave it on the counter and it doesn't look dirty. You know how coffee grinders look after a few days. This one stays nice all the time. This grinder comes apart for easy cleaning. The grinders I have used in the past didn't come apart and had to be wiped out by hand. In the morning I make my coffee and rinse out the cap and the blade. No trouble at all. In the past I have had trouble with residue from old beans getting mixed with the new beans. Since most coffee grinders do not come apart for easy washing, they start looking grungy. I agree with one of the reviews that said she had trouble with ground beans getting on her counter when grinding. I've only had that problem if I fill the grinder too full and try to grind too much at once. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems at all. Matter of fact, I plan to buy two more as Christmas gifts. I would definitely buy this coffee grinder again.

Love it!,
By Luminosa (SF Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White (Kitchen)
I have owned mine for probably almost 2 years. Just read many of the reviews and I am puzzled.....I have had NO problems with messiness, and I grind all sorts of stuff in it...coffee beans, flaxseed, spices. It is awesome. Anyone who really understands food science OR health science knows that rancid oils are bad - for flavor and for health. And oil is a major, key component of coffee, flax and spices. So KitchenAid really gets my thumbs up for designing a grinder that you can actually CLEAN....all others that I know of trap "ground matter" which then proceeds to rancidify over time and wreck your beans or spices, plus, if you multitask your grinder, cleaning it out is a must (unless you want your coffee to taste like that cumin seed you just grounds for a savory dish, or your ground sesame seed to taste faintly of coffee, etc....). Since you can't really get other grinders wet, you can't really get them clean, certainly not regularly. That sucks! If you follow the directions (hello, that does mean READING them....) and do not over fill the bowl, which conveniently has permanent markings on the inside :-), then, well at least I, have not had any problems with mess. Plus, when grinding larger quantities, what works really well is if you invert the whole thing so that the ground contents go into the clear plastic top, which acts as a bowl, and then transfer the contents accordingly to wherever you need them....I know this works because I do it all the time when grinding quantities of flaxseed. I can only guess that the folks making messes might be, well....nevermind. Also, the guy who claims this grinder couldn't handle half a bowl of cardamon and started smoking...I can only believe that a) his was defective, which is a really weird phenomena for a KitchenAid product, or b) he is full of "it" and wasn't really using the product correctly. The motor is superstrong, the grind is excellent if you pay any attention to what you are doing (tho' true, it is not great for tiny quatities of spices), the clean up features are superb...got to love it. Lastly, I do not have any particular "brand loyalty"...we have a well outfitted kitchen and produce a lot of great meals in the tradition of Berkeley, CA's "gourmet ghetto"...I go strictly for what products, to my mind, work best, and in the electric grinder market, this versatile baby is it. btw, I do have a classic old Krups stuck way in the back of a cupboard...and can't figure out why it hasn't made it to the donation box yet cuz, heaven know it hasn't been used since I can't remember when.

Very good at grinding small product,

This review is from: KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White (Kitchen)
I bought this grinder mainly for grinding flax seeds. I usually only do enough for about three to five days at a time. It does a very good job. It cleans up very nicely. The only place to watch for is at the top of the plastic canister/cover, there's a rim under which stuff can get caught up in there and not get noticed. Other than that, I've had zero issues with this grinder. I'm very happy with it.
