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

Rating: - Awesome grinder
I recently purchased the Kitchen Aid coffee grinder for my daughter for her birthday. In the past, we have dealt with other types of coffee grinders and have not been exceptionally pleased. This grinder was very efficient and ground up a bag of coffee beans in a short amount of time and cleanup of this item was so simple. I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a coffee grinder.. It also matches my daughter's kitchen.
Rating: - Little work horse
It is working great for over 3 years which says a lot about this product.
Rating: - Grinds fine--and medium and coarse too!
Nothing could be more straightforward in its operation than this little grinder. Adjusting the grind from coarse to ultra-fine is just a matter of pressing down the cover a few more seconds or a few less. Put the desired amount of coffee beans in the grinding hopper, which contains a permanently mounted blade, set it on the base, place the clear cup over it and press down. Count seconds according to the desired grind.
This grinder might be thought of as a chopper, since it has a blade, but it produces ground roast coffee that is indistinguishable from that produced by the high end ... Read More
Rating: - Very uneven grind
Like most Kitchen Aid products, this grinder is very sturdy and seems like it would hold up to commercial use. That being said, it produces a very uneven grind. The consistency ranges from a fine dust to WHOLE BEANS THAT HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TOUCHED BY THE BLADE all in the same batch of coffee. I'm normally a big fan a Kitchen Aid, but the cheaper Braun model I used to own was far superior to this grinder.
Rating: - Excellent coffee grinder
I have had absolutely no problems with this grinder. It works well, I grind the beans for about 17 seconds, and they're good to go... The aluminum cannister detaches from the base, making it easy to clean. I recommend this grinder...
