Product Description
The KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder grinds whole coffee beans for the best tasting cup you ve ever brewed! Whether you re grinding for espresso, drip coffee, French Press or something in-between, 15 different grind settings give you plenty of options. The commercial-quality burrs actually flake coffee instead of crushing it, so you don t lose any of the essential oils that give coffee its full flavor. Turning at just 450 RPMs, this burr grinder also ensures those oils will not burn off due to frictional heat. Special gears control the delivery of beans to the burrs for a better grind consistency, and a plastic seal helps position the coffee bin under the grinding spout to prevent grounds from escaping. Now for the real plus: the Kitchen Aid Pro Line Coffee Grinder has a bean hopper and coffee bin made of GLASS rather than plastic to eliminate static cling. Glass means less cleanup, plus fluffy-looking grounds that won t cling to each other or the grinder. And since the hardy all-metal construction means this baby is built to last, this may be the last grinder you ll ever buy.

The last coffee grinder you'll buy (2010-05-18)
I've had other plastic burr grinders before. This one has really lasted for me. I've had mine for over 3 years now and it's still chugging. I've even gone through other coffee makers while I've had this. I expect this to last as long as my stand mixer and my Miele vacuum. Only drawback is that the grinds can get static and stick even to the glass recepticle.
Three years and three months (2010-04-26)
This review would have been a five star one except for the fact that my unit died this morning. There is no question but that I will buy another one. $200 for an appliance that was used at least once a day every day for the duration of its motor's existence is inexpensive for what the unit delivered day in and day out. From what I have read, I believe I got one with a weak "heart."
It is the best at what it does and is easily cleaned and reassembled. I am thorough and do this about once a week and it takes all of ten minutes. I called the 800 number and for the first couple of years they happily supplied me with free extra cleaning brushes. Last time I called, I felt guilty and paid them $1.25 apiece for a supply of five of them and I will not have to call again now for several years.
I do not consider myself a coffee gourmet but I am very selective and buy beans from a variety of both local and online sources. All I do know for certain is that the coffee tastes better when it is milled by a machine such as this. I got proof of that this morning when I had to revert to my little plastic "chopper" for the first time in over three years. I do wonder, however, why the motor in that thing is still alive but not in the KitchenAid.
