Others say...
"great for coffee, not spices" i bought this for 2 purposes: to grind coffee and spices. it does an excellent and quick job at grinding coffee (quite loudly though), but grinding spices is a little more difficult. If you are considering getting this specifically for spices, you should consider something else as this takes a long time to grind spices down and there are still little bits left that can only be removed by sieving. All said, it does what it was designed to do and best yet, the bowl is detachable for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. "Doesn't grind evenly--leaves whole coffee beans behind" This product is not up to snuff by Kitchen Aid standards. The coffee grinder does not adequately grind coffee. It grinds some beans to a fine powder, while leaving other beans untouched. You can't get the grind inbetween, for a French press. In fact, you can't get any size you want uniformly. I usually put in about one inch of beans to grind enough for myself and my husband in the morning. It's disappointing. "Leaves you wanting" The build quality of this grinder is very high. I would expect this to be a very durable item. However, it's not perfect. Although it is great that it has a unique detachable container for cleaning, it does have a reason to have that feature because the grinder is rather messy and will require frequent cleaning of not only the container but also the body and the counter. Very careful use will help, but you've got to be habitually careful. In addition, like most other grinders, the ground coffee easily gets stuck on the bottom of the container, requiring frequent cleaning by a brush. This is a common problem for the grinders I've seen. Strangely, a very cheap (about $10) coffee grinder I bought about 10 years ago had a smart solution for this problem. It had a small part at the end of each blade extending downward toward the bottom of the container (but without touching the bottom), functioning as a "broom" sweeping the coffee to prevent it from getting stuck on the bottom. After that grinder broke, I have been looking for a grinder with a similar feature but could not find one. This $30 grinder is no exception. "Good and Sturdy" Even though there is no adjuster for the type of grind you want, it's still very efficient and does its job well. I like how I just push the top down for it start grinding and let go for it to stop. It didn't take long to figure out how long to hold it down for my desired ground. After I'm done grinding my coffee beans, cleaning it is easy I just twist the metal part off the base and rinse with warm or hot soapy water. I like how the base it is bit heavier so it stays grounded better. I wouldn't go lower than 200 watts for a grinder unless you have a little more time to spare. It grinds my beans fast and fresh. "Power a plenty!" We've been using this daily to grind 4 tablespoons of whole coffee beans for our press. It chews them up in no time and makes a perfect grind every time. 3 quick hits and we have the perfect grind for our press. As with all KitchenAid appliances, you can feel the difference. Very sturdy and heavy. This baby will last a long, long time if not forever.

KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White
Why I buy this one ? - Powerful 200-watt motor - Stainless steel blade for quick and easy grinding - Brushes stainless steel bowl with etched measure markings - Clear top cover - Pulse control It's better to buy this one too...
What our customer's say! "Two broken in six months", I'm really surprised at the ratings this thing has gotten. Maybe I was just REALLY unlucky. But I had this grinder on my wish list at Christmas and somehow ended up with two. Bummer, I thought, but put one in the closet thinking I'd sell it eventually. Well, within three months the first one stopped working. You would push down on the lid and nothing happened. We took it apart and cleaned every nook and cranny, but couldn't identify the problem. So I pulled out the spare from the closet and within two months that one stopped working! Again, maybe it's just our bad luck, but given that both broke, I would never recommend buying one. I should also add that I wasn't a big fan of the way it worked (when it did work). Like others have said, you would end up with uneven grounds - some fine and other entire beans or huge chunks. And unlike other grinders where you could tap it upside down on the counter and then flip it over without any mess, this one always seemed to result in grounds on the kitchen counter. I had to use it on a kitchen towel and shake the mess into the trash. "Great grinder", Didn't buy this for coffee, but it's a real help in the kitchen with herbs and spices. "I think it's great!", I've had my Kitchenaid Blade Coffee Grinder for a couple of months. I'm not a fanatical coffee drinker, but I had coffee beans that were given to me as a gift, & when my cuisinart grinder crapped out, I was looking for a replacement. It's important to follow the directions to get the best grind. The grind also depends on the beans you're using (trial & error). I put my ground coffee in the fridge because I don't drink it very fast. In the fridge the grounds clump a little making it look like the grind was uneven when it was fine before. When removing the grinds from the cannister, I find it easier to just flip the entire unit so that the grinds go into the clear plastic top component. From there I just pour everything into whatever I plan to use as a storage container for the fridge. (Unplug before you flip it!!!) The top components are dishwasher safe, but I always rinse thoroughly before putting them in the dishwasher to make sure none of the grounds get stuck under the blade. Anything that's caught under there loosens up easily with a wet paper towel. Dishwashing is important to make sure the oils are thoroughly removed because no one wants rancid coffee. Don't fill above the fill line & I'm sure it will work well for you. Again, this is not a product I use every day, so I can't speak for more frequent users, but for my purposes, I'm very happy with the product. "You luv Coffee?", This little baby is what you are looking for, perfect grinds excellent construction. I have owned one for 3 years. I have bought many others from Mr. Coffee, Braun this one's king all the others are subjects. "Powerful. Simple. Effective. ", I have had a GE and a Krups coffee grinder that did not last long. This product by KitchenAid seems very well made and based on the company's reputation, I'm sure I'll use this for years to come. The clear plastic top fits over the spacious stainless steel grinding bay. To activate the blades, push down on the top. There are two indentions built into the cover that plunges into the unit to activate the blades. Not only is it safe, but since there are no arrows to line up, buttons to depress or wear out, it should work a long time. It has a powerful motor that is very loud. It's not the first thing I like hearing in the morning so I make sure I grind my beans the night before. The entire unit is solid and nicely constructed. My other grinders would allow for the power cord to store within the unit but this one does not. That is very easy to overlook as I keep it right next to my coffee maker and as well, it looks very nice sitting on my kitchen cabinet. There are no grind selectors to deal with but have found it not to be needed. It's easy to pulse the beans to your favorite grind. Overall it's powerful, simple and effective. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "great spice grinder", I bought this for my husband who was tired of using a mortar and pestal to grind fresh spices and herbs. The Kitchenaid gives a uniform fine grind. "Does the job, looks good.", I have only had this a few weeks, so far so good. I think it was the best buy for the best price considering all the options out there & it is attractively designed. I was willing to buy something slightly more expensive but the reviews weren't as good for other grinders. My only mild complaint is that a little of the grinds fly up into the lid and then fall on the counter when you open it. I also think it would be a good idea to attach a simplified set of instructions to the machine, perhaps a tag on the cord or an easy remove sticker on the base. I read the instructions but my boyfriend tried to use it when I was gone & didn't know there were quite so many subtleties to grinding coffee. Ha! "Excellent Coffee Grinder!", This grinder was just what I needed for a home grinder. The price really is pretty reasonable, although it was a hair more than I was looking to spend. It was fine because I know Kitchen Aid is a name you can trust, would last much longer and would be more durable than most other brands out there. It's very easy to use, easy to clean, quick to grind and compact. I also love the fact that the inside of the metal cup grinder has the ounce measurement. "One of a kind", I got this for my Mom. She seems to be very happy with its output. It does a great job of converting herbs to powder, bread crumbs to uniform powder for battering fried chicken receipe. All in all I recommend it as a gift for anyone who works around the kitchen. "Great value and easy to clean", Recently bought the KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder to replace my Braun coffee grinder and I can say that I am really impressed. I have had the KitchenAid grinder for about 2 weeks now and it is the best low cost grinder that I have played with. First off the noise level when grinding is a lot less than that of Braun. It is still loud, but it is more like a car without its muffler versus a 767 talking off. Second, it is super easy to clean. Before the Braun would take forever to clean as grinds would get stuck is the seam between the metal and the plastic. With the KitchenAid, the entire basin is metal and dishwasher safe. The plastic cover does occasionally get grind it the lip, but they quickly wash out with a rinse of water. As for the grind quality, it does a good job, but you are not going to use this with your expresso machine. Pros: * Easy to clean!!! * Quieter than many other models * Dishwasher safe * Price Cons: * Won't do expresso grind... * Can't really think of anything |
