Burr Coffee Grinder - KCG8433 - Onyx Black

I watched a bunch of grinder reviews before buying this. Most of them don't include this product, as it's lesser known and doesn't seem to be considered a serious contender among coffee aficionados. Common wisdom seems to be to go with the Baratza Encore at this price point, or maybe something from Breville, Felllow, or Varia. I'm glad I didn't. The big appeals for me here were looks, quiet operation, and automatic dosing. It's pretty quiet, quiet enough that it doesn't seem to bother my cat sleeping nearby in the morning. You can dial in a specific dose via grind time, and it will save it and gets it consistent enough that I don't have to weigh beans anymore, I just press the button and use it, and it's one in about 9 seconds. Plus, it looks pretty nice and has a small counter footprint. Visually, the grind quality appears to be a bit more consistent than my $60 Timemore hand grinder is, and it's FAR faster. The only real downside I can recall people mentioning was grind quality, but to me the grind quality is great, and even if a Baratza gives a more consistent particle size, ask yourself: are you really going to be able to tell the difference in coffee flavor between two different electrical conical burr grinders? Honestly? In a blind test, you think you could tell? Maybe so, but I certainly can't. This is a great pick.

We've been using our KitchenAid Burr Grinder for a month now and we're thrilled with it. When our old grinder stopped grinding consistently after four years we decided to grit our teeth and spend more. We did our research and KitchenAid products have been good for us, so we snag this one. We congratulate ourselves on our choice every time we grind our coffee. (Actually, we can't wait to use it!) Quiet! Whodda thought? The settings are easy to use, the grind beautiful and consistent, the motor doesn't overheat. I can walk away without holding my hand around the grinder to keep a spray of coffee grounds from escaping. Not one grain escapes the KitchenAid container during grinding. The settings are easy to use, the hopper holds a large amount if you like to grind for a few days. Or you can put your espresso portafilter in a special holder and grind the amount needed for perfect espresso. The LED light goes off after a while (yeah!) There was much more mess to clean up with our previous grinders ($80 range.) We thought it was the beans we were buying - nope, it was the grinder. Well worth the extra upgrade. Love the red.

I've had many burr grinders over the years in the $85 to $120 range, but lately have been dissatisfied, quality seemed to be dropping. So I spent a couple months comparing reviews of many brands & models, finally decided to get this KitchenAid model (compared to the poorly-rated $250 Kitchen Aid burr grinder - messy, difficult to clean, etc.) Too many of the other brands in $120 - $220 range had numerous complaints about inconsistent grind, loudness, and jamming requiring frequent cleaning ... or the bane of burr grinders, STATIC mess (which I was well familiar with!). This grinder has a solid, well-built construction, exactly what you'd expect from Kitchen Aid. Two things are absolutely AMAZING: 1) it is UNBELIEVEABLY QUIET, just a soft, gravel-ly rumble at low RPM, with no "motor whine" whatsoever - quietest grinder I've ever heard, 2) the Anti-Static technology is INCREDIBLE, I have ALWAYS found EVERY burr grinder has static issues and some degree of mess is common; not with this unit, there is NO static charge WHATSOEVER. Grind drops into the lower hopper forming a conical pile just like salt or sugar, with no jumping/sticking to anything afterwards. Additionally, the dosing system is indeed intelligent. It took me a few days of fine-tuning to dial everything in, but it does so very well. Grinds are extremely consistent within each batch and across batches. The upper hopper catch-gate is a stroke of genius, I've never seen any other manufacturer have that feature, it makes cleaning - on the rare occasion you might need to clean the burrs - a whiz. No need to empty out beans ahead of removing the hopper. I do agree with one criticism mentioned by a recent reviewer; after playing with grinds, I do think the coarsest setting - French Press - is not coarse enough. On the opposite end of spectrum the finest Espresso grind is right-on. FYI, the optional (internal, mechanical) fine setting of the upper burr as delivered is set to coarse, so you can't make French Press any coarser, you can only adjust Expresso more towards Turkish ... Overall this is the best $200 I've ever spent on coffee utensils, no question about it. It is a sheer pleasure to press a button and hear this thing quietly & calmly produce a precision grind in a precision amount, and with NO STATIC. I'm not sure HOW they achieved that last part, but it WORKS - ZERO static! Unless you plan on using coarser grades like French Press, I 100% recommend this Kitchen Aid model.

Amazingly the best purchase I have ever made on Amazon. This burr grinder is quiet and sleek looking. My family liked it so much they each want one now and it is hard to find them. The variables include grind sizes, amount needed, a storage container included as part of the unit which seals when not using the grinder. There is no mess and after using it for over ten pounds of coffee in a year or less, it stills works great. The price was well worth the investment.

商品自体はとても気に入ってますが壊れて残念です。 同じ商品が出てたので違う出品者だと思いますが又買いましたが 今日入荷してまだ使っていません。

I was looking for a grinder for my Breville coffee machine and tried a couple of other options - none worked until I got this one. By default, it remembers the last grind setting, so you don't have to re-set it every time, and there's programming (which I've never used) - that's pretty much all you need for your daily use. The included portafilter holder is an amazing time-saver and super convenient. Grind is pretty consistent to my not-so-picky eye - some super-skilled coffee connossier would probably see it differently, but I'm pretty happy with it. There's also the internal burr grind size adjustment, which is set to the coarsest value by default, so if you need a finer setting, there's room for that. But the feature I'm most happy about is the anti-static system. It really works, and there are no lumps at all after grinding - that's a rare thing in this price range. Oh, and it's quieter than the competition, too. All in all, I'm super happy with the grinder, and it should be enough for all the non-pro coffee lovers.

Un molino muy facil de usar y que proporciona una molienda realmente profesional. Logre extraer excelentes espresos a la primera. Muy intuitivo y de excelente calidad de acabados y plasticos de alta calidad. Las muelas conicas son muy sileciosas y precisas. Muy recomendable para usar en el hogar.

I had a more expensive grinder that was very noisy. It failed prematurely. Despite the high cost I was going to replace it like for like. Then I noticed this grinder. It is every bit as full featured and now it is in my kitchen I can see it is also better looking. The receptacle for receiving the ground coffee is static free. The grinds all slide easily into the filter. I can still hear my radio while grinding. Grind size is fully adjustable with very fine increments. Grind time is adjustable to tenths of a second. The controls are easy to use and intuitive. There is a clear electronic display for grind size and time. This is a superbly designed quality item. I highly recommend.

Muele muy bien el café
