Really hope the fact that this is "currently unavailable" doesn't mean KitchenAid has gotten out of the coffee grinder business. Whether it's coffee or spices or basil or even butter (yep, I've tried them all), this grinder does a dream of a job. Like I said, I hope this item is back soon, it makes a perfect present for the coffee lover on your list. I've had mine for over 5 years and it's still going strong. And once you get it. I can't imagine people having problems with this - or hurting themselves. This truly is the little coffee grinder that could - and does. Cleanup couldn't be easier - the whole thing can be cleaned.
I can't see how that would happen. It's completely safe - you'd have to be completing misusing it to hurt yourself. Every kitchen should have one. It will last forever.
Have had this now for a couple of months. Grounds the beans just right. No operational problems. Great value for the money.
As always for anything KitchenAid, excellent product. Because it is easy to clean, I use it for grinding spices as well.
This doesn't grind as fine as I would like. The cover on this on is on the outside so the grain or coffee beans does not hit against the plastic. This does make the grain much finer. The grain mill I have that grinds up my wheat for bread will not grind up oats and flax because of the oils in them. It also says not to start and stop. So what I do is grind it for 25 sec let it rest and go again three times. I bought this because I grind my own oat and flax. So if you don't fill it to high the grains or beans will never hit the plastic higher up on the cover.
So if you are looking for a more safe way to grind up coffee or grains with out the risk of plastic in your food this is great. The cylinder that holds the beans or gain is tall. I would of given it a 5 star if it would grind finer. My old black and decker did and when that happens you are getting plastic into your food.Other coffee grinders the cover is on the inside of the grinder. It says not to go past 25 sec in grinding at one time. They say it can but that is not true.
Another reason I love this one is the plastic doesn't get chipped in the grinding of grain. Because of that after grinding so many times the plastic starts to chip off into your food. It clogged my machine. But that is impossible with any coffee grinder to do that for grains.
P.S. I have my grandmothers 1940's KitchenAid mixer and it runs perfect.I know this grinder will give me the same satidsfaction.
I went to KitchenAid. All their products are work horse quallity, heavy duty and work to perfection.
After going through many unsatisfactory coffee grinders, I decided to do what I should have done in the first place. Thanks KitchenAid you did it again.
This grinder grinds coffee like a pro should and with the ease to satisfy any coffee or espresso buff. Good coffee is not only in the brand you use, but in the grind you use, this little machine has it all.
