Built Like A Tank!

By DV from Newport Beach, CA on 02/3/2010.

Pros:	Consistent Grind, Stylish, Large Hopper, Easy To Use
Best Uses:	Everyday
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker

I grind beans for 1 or 2 pots every morning. It's easy to put the beans in the glass hopper, pour the ground coffee out of the glass coffee bin straight into coffee maker. Very quiet and fast. A few times I had to stir the beans around in the hopper to keep them going down into the burrs.

Nice grinder, could be more consistant

By E.F. Hobbs Specialty Coffee Roaster from Lenexa, KS on 02/3/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Coffee Aficionado
Pros:	Durable, Stylish, Reliable, Easy To Use, Large Hopper
Best Uses:	Everyday, Home
Cons:	Inconsistent Grinds, Messy

Bought this as a replacement for my Solis Scala 166 that I had been using for a couple of years. Heard lots of good things about the KA Proline grinder from my coffee-geek associates, so decided to give it a shot. Compared to most home use grinders, it is nice and quiet and grinds very quickly. I like that the bean and grinds hoppers are both made of glass to reduce static, but I still get quite a bit of chaff stuck to the sides of the grinds hopper after use. Heavy Duty burrs should last the average user years and years, with replacements being very affordable. I expect this to be the last home grinder I'll have to purchase for a very long time. Solid, heavy construction are definite pros as well. The only cons I can state are probably a quibble for most. The grind could just be more consistent. I use it mainly for drip coffee during the week and the occasional French Press. After adjusting the burrs to grind a bit more fine, I am still getting a 20-30% variation in the grind size. Hoping it gets better with a little more use. Also, there always seems to be a bit of grinds left in the chute after it is finished - landing right on the bottom of the grinder as I remove the grinds hopper. My last grinder was less messy for sure.

Great Grinder

By Marko from Lees Summit, MO on 02/3/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Everyday, Home
Pros:	Stylish, Consistent Grind, Reliable, Large Hopper, Durable

Great grinder; consistent grind size & noise level not objectionable. Seems very durable. Replacement burrs are very reasonably priced [$]. Only reason not 5 stars: Glass hopper still very "staticky" and really needs a timer to enable consistent day to day grind amounts. Resorted to using it with a kitchen timer. (i.e.: 30 seconds for full 10-12 cup measure)

Nice

By omegahelix from Chicago area, IL on 01/21/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Coffee Aficionado
Pros:	Durable, Stylish
Best Uses:	Home, Office, Weekends, Everyday
Cons:	Messy

Well built. Seems to have a consistent grind - much more so than my old blade grinder. It took a little getting used to to keep from spilling grinds all over the place. I found that it is best to use the included glass jar and hold my palm over 3/4 of the opening when pouring the grinds out into my coffee filter.

Solid Grinder

By jtrops from colorado on 01/20/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Cons:	Inconsistent Grinds
Best Uses:	Office, Everyday, Home
Pros:	Reliable, Durable

When I first ran beans through this grinder I immediately noticed how quiet it is. The second thing was how fast it filled my portafilter. Between these two things my morning grind is much more enjoyable, and I never wonder if I'm going to wake up anyone else. The burr adjustment is in very large increments, and luckily it is easy to convert it to a stepless grinder without voiding the warranty. In fact most of the info you need to convert it is covered in the owners manual. With only a couple of additional steps the grinder moves to another level. Teflon tape on the burr adjustment threads tightens up the fit, and fixes the wobble which leads to uneven grinds. This one little fix cures a host of the problems that show up in reviews. I am pulling great shots from my Simac pump espresso machine, and they are very consistent from shot to shot. I had it set too fine at one point and choked my machine. Even with the mod's that I've made on the Pro Line, it doesn't have the constant grind size of my old grinder. Still, it produces great, repeatable shots. If I was to choose between my two grinders based on the grind alone I might go back to my old grinder; but, the quiet speed of the Kitchenaid make it the winner overall.

Nice machine, still nitpicking

By CoffeeBurner from Illinois on 10/28/2009.

Pros:	Consistent Grind, Large Hopper, Feels like quality, Easy To Use, Reliable
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Home, Everyday
Cons:	Somewhat messy

Use as an every day grinder. It's about on par with most other grinders in terms of noise, it's not super quiet like others make it out to be. As far as somewhat messy, it's not that the grinds fly everywhere during grinding, it's when you pull the jar out from under the output. It's a somewhat tight fit, and as the back edge of the jar passes the output hole some of the grounds usually fall out from the output hole under the burrs along the back of the outside of the jar and onto the grinder foot that holds the jar. Since there's a slim groove that runs around the inside of the foot some grounds end up getting brushed into the groove that can only be removed with a toothpick or something similar. Not a huge complaint but still a pain. Even though you may smack the grinder to knock down those clinging grounds up inside the output hole, some will almost always fall out onto the grinder foot or on the table. So it's not a perfectly clean grinder although it doesn't "spit" grounds while grinding. Also, even tho this is a low RPM grinder, it still makes about the same volume of noise as a high speed type grinder, just at a lower pitch. Sleeping in the next room, you'd still wake someone up while using this grinder in the room next door. Trade off's the average joe would consider: Other grinders have a shut off timer for grinding a specific amount, these models are all manual. High speed blender grinders are usually completely clean to use usually, if that matters. Low speed burr doesn't mean quiet. It sounds like a blender basically. We'll use it till it dies.

Definitely worth the cost

By Ike 508 from Crown Point, IN on 01/6/2009.

Pros:	Durable, Consistent Grind, Stylish, Easy To Use
Best Uses:	Everyday
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker

My husband was thrilled when he received this for his birthday. He has been really wanting this but the cost was a factor. I decided to spend the extra and it was well worth it. I definitely recommend this purchase to any coffee drinker.

Close to commercial grade as you'll get

By Cream and Sugar from Renton, WA on 12/26/2008.

Best Uses:	Everyday
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Pros:	Reliable, Easy To Use, Consistent Grind, Durable, Stylish, Large Hopper

I've had this grinder for over 3 years now and purchased one for my brother-in-law. No plastic parts makes this a very solid unit. It's not quiet but this is a grinder not a fan. Because it's made of glass and steel there is none of that annoying static electricity build up that makes a mess. This thing will easily grind 3-4 lbs of coffee and not over heat. I would recommend this grinder to anyone, it will last for many years. One more thing, since it uses burr grinding as apposed to the "blender style" the grind is extremely consistent and is adjustable from coarse to fine. ABT is the best place to buy this unit, Macy's carries in on sale for[$], regularly [$]!! You will not be disappointed with this product.

So far, so great

By The once and future Rob from Seattle, WA on 12/3/2008.

Cons:	Finger guard traps beans
Best Uses:	Home, Everyday
Pros:	Stylish, Consistent Grind, Durable, Easy To Use

I read the reviews of this product and they've proven to be true. Solid construction, quiet grinding (compared to our previous grinder), no static electricity, easty to clean, and a great manual. They also warned that the beans can get stuck in the finger guard, but they're easy to knock out with a chopstick. We're very happy with this product.

I NEED TO WRITE THIS INTO MY WILL

By Dejavoo from Albuquerque, NM on 11/2/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Coffee Aficionado
Best Uses:	Everyday, Weekends, Office, Home
Pros:	Reliable, Durable, Consistent Grind, Large Hopper, Easy To Use

I use this daily. I prefer this to a blade grinder for a number of reasons: First - the grind is adjustable. Even though I use the 6.5 setting for most of my grinds, I like having the ability to grind finer for espresso. Second - the glass cup releases the grinds without the static electricity found in plastic cups. Third - Controls are very simple, user friendly. Fourth - Grinder is built to last forever. (Thus my reason for needing to write this into my will!) It is HEAVY with solid dial & switch. Engineering is basic and uncomplicated. Fifth - Hopper is larger than those of blade grinders. It easily accomodates my 6 large scoops of beans for my robust coffee. If your kitchen countertop has room to accomodate this magnificent grinder, don't hesitate to buy it. You will never have to buy another one in your lifetime. It does honor to the coffee beans you spend your hard-earned money on. Well worth the cost!

Great grinder but needs improvement

By JimboHD2005 from Plainfield, IL on 03/6/2008.

Best Uses:	Everyday
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Pros:	Stylish

Great consistant grinder but I have to shake or manually push the last 5 - 10 beans into the grinder as they tend to get stuck in the glass hopper. Great grind quality though so as long as you don't mind pushing the last beans into the grinder you'll love this grinder. It's too bad Kitchenaid/Whirpool didn't make the hopper connection to the grinder more smooth and avoid this small iratation. Overall great grinder.

No static coffee powder

By NavyJim1 from Memphis, TN on 02/7/2008.

Pros:	Easy To Use, Large Hopper, Consistent Grind
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Home

Everyday use in-home. Switched to the KitchenAid Burr Grinder from another brand grinder. The other burr grinder displaced static coffee powder all over our kitchen counters. Got so tired of cleaning up the static powder I invested in KitchenAid. Outstanding investment!

Solid Performer

By Angeleyes from Seattle on 12/28/2007.

Pros:	Easy To Use, Stylish, Solid Construction, Consistent Grind
Best Uses:	Everyday
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Cons:	Messy

It costs a lot, but it really is worth it. We're using it every day since about two years and it works great. No cheap plastic or buzzy motor. The glass container that catches the ground coffee is great because there is no static cling. However, when you remove the container from the grinder, some coffee grounds usually fall out of the mill. Not a big deal if you get used to tapping the grinder on top a few times before you take the container out.

Great product!

By Coffee Fanatic from Dallas, TX on 11/5/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Home, Everyday
Pros:	Versatile, Consistent Grind, Large Hopper, Stylish, Easy To Use

I think this is the best grinder available for the home! I had previously purchased a Cuisinart burr mill grinder, which I returned after I saw and bought this one. Kitchenaid is consistently the best in its class.
