Amazon.com Review
Coffee devotees know that an efficient grinder can be the secret to a great cup of joe. This model from KitchenAid delivers efficiency and more--from an oversized bowl to dishwasher-safe materials. Powered by a 200-watt motor, the grinder features a permanently attached stainless-steel blade that mills beans quickly and thoroughly. A generous four ounces, the brushed stainless-steel bowl is mounted to the motor housing with a clockwise turn and etched with handy reference markings. The machine turns on when you push down on the clear polycarbonate cover and off again when it's released. As a protective feature, the grinder only operates when the top is in place, so fingers are never exposed to moving blades. Solid and attractive, the grinder is also designed for frequent use and is easy to clean. Both its bowl and top cover go in the dishwasher, while the rest wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Emily Bedard

I'm not a coffee drinker but was into grinding whole spices for mixes. Out of all grinders I looked at this seamed to be the best choice. Problem I read and seen on kitchen equipment review show said biggest problem with grinders comes from flavor mixing do to hard cleaning and all benefit from some shacking to move things around when grinding. This is small and light and has a stainless steel blade and bowl with a large plastic cover that illuminates the problems. Yes it does throw some powder over the rim into the cover but if you don't open the cover while grinding its find. Like someone wrote invert the unit when finished and the cap will hold the over spill. I grind pepper and it does a great job and I grind very little at a time. Great thing you can jump from one spice to another with no flavor transfer, just wipe everything with a paper towel or rinse under the sink and dry and your ready to go.
Great For Grinding Flax Seeds September 28, 2006

My main reason for purchasing this coffee grinder was not for coffee beans but for flax seeds. I had been using a mortar and pestle for my flax seeds every morning but grew tired of doing that. I researched for awhile and liked that the metal grinder chamber could be removed for cleaning. That was my main concern, since I was using it for flax seeds/spices and not coffee. I found this to be the only model that had it. The grind is not always consistent but it doesn't really matter to me. It is so simple to use, easy to clean up and it does not make a huge mess like I had read. The only negative comment I have is, it is a bit loud, but that's like all grinders and choppers. I have a number of KitchenAid products and I am always very pleased with them. I have been using this for 4 months now and my wrists are happy to have the mortar and pestle in storage. I purchased this grinder for $29.99 and that's a great deal.
Great grinder, what else is there to say. March 2, 2003

This is a great little grinder. We've been using an old braun grinder (about 11 years old) and while it still works, it's NOISY, messy, and have a very small capacity. After looking at the new braun's we were frustrated with the small capacity of the grinders. Well, patience is a viture, as I came across this grinder, and the capacity is wonderful. We have not had any problems with it making any more of a mess than our older grinder, in fact there's much less mess. And I'm a bit confused, as we like our coffee really strong, but even if we make a strong pot of 12 cups, there's sufficient room in the grinder for the job, without a mess. I can only speculate that those with "messes" are truely going beyond the specified max line. I can't get over the ability to put the bowl into the dishwasher....no more will I have to worry about nutmeg tasting coffee for a while if I decide to use my grinder to also take care of grinding spices. That's a definite perk (and $$ saver too). So, I have to express my enthusiasm for this little grinder. All I can hope now is that in 11 years, this one is still kicking like my poor overused, but working braun.

I have read all reviews on this item and was ready to return the grinder before I received it; but I either got a new and improved model or luck was on my side.....It is WONDERFUL! maybe others were over filling grinder... mine works great.

I've only had my KitchenAid coffee grinder for a few weeks so I can't speak to how well it will hold up, but as far as use is concerned I'm well satisfied. It's fast, easy to use, does a good job and (contrary to one review) makes very little mess. I don't, however, follow the recommended grinding time; I find it works for me if I wait until it looks 'about right' and then hold for another 2 or 3 seconds -- maybe 10 to 12 seconds total.
