Best coffee grinder I have owned July 24, 2010
G. Michael (Raleigh, NC)
I am a kitchen gadget freak and I love this coffee grinder. I have had one at home for several years and just bought a second to replace my office Cuisinart grinder. This Kitchen Aid is fantastic. The grind adjustment actually works from super fine to very coarse.
The top bowl doesn't hold more than two or three pots worth of beans, but the beans should be stored in an airtight container away from light long term anyway. While I like the auto-off function of my now dead grinder, you quickly get used to the simple on off and know that if your have finished filling you coffee pot with fresh water, you probably have ground enough beans. This simplicity also makes this machine a work horse. No delicate plastic bits to break here. Just rugged heavy metal and glass.
If you are like me and like dark roasted beans, you know they tend to be oily on the outside and stick to each other a little. Well, I'll admit, sometimes I have to rock the grinder or poke the beans in the hopper with a wooden skewer I keep on hand because they don't fall smoothly into the grinding mechanism. This quirk is NOT present when grinding medium roasted beans. The sticky beans issue has been an issue with every burr coffee grinder I have owned so I consider it a non-issue on this machine.
I just wish the manufacturers would realize they need to add a slow moving wire stirring the beans in the hopper so they can cascade more freely. Simple fix - KitchenAid, are you listening?
