I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a coffee grinder. This grinder was very efficient and ground up a bag of coffee beans in a short amount of time and cleanup of this item was so simple. It also matches my daughter's kitchen. I recently purchased the Kitchen Aid coffee grinder for my daughter for her birthday. In the past, we have dealt with other types of coffee grinders and have not been exceptionally pleased.
It is working great for over 3 years which says a lot about this product.
Even decaf beans taste like the real thing. I like to make fresh-ground coffee for my coffee loving friends. This little coffee grinder produces a nice uniform grind, and keeps the aroma inside better.
Adjusting the grind from coarse to ultra-fine is just a matter of pressing down the cover a few more seconds or a few less. This grinder might be thought of as a chopper, since it has a blade, but it produces ground roast coffee that is indistinguishable from that produced by the high end grinding machines I have used. Nothing could be more straightforward in its operation than this little grinder.
I have ground coffee using a small jar on my blender, and although the process would seem to be similar, the results are quite different. One friend sometimes stops in on the way to work to have me make coffee for her travel mug.I used to say, "If my coffee is like mud, that's because it was just GROUND." But now my coffee tastes like--fresh coffee, with all its flavor, a coffee lover's delight. Put the desired amount of coffee beans in the grinding hopper, which contains a permanently mounted blade, set it on the base, place the clear cup over it and press down.
Count seconds according to the desired grind.
I'm normally a big fan a Kitchen Aid, but the cheaper Braun model I used to own was far superior to this grinder. The consistency ranges from a fine dust to WHOLE BEANS THAT HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TOUCHED BY THE BLADE all in the same batch of coffee. Like most Kitchen Aid products, this grinder is very sturdy and seems like it would hold up to commercial use. That being said, it produces a very uneven grind.
I recommend this grinder. The aluminum cannister detaches from the base, making it easy to clean. I have had absolutely no problems with this grinder. It works well, I grind the beans for about 17 seconds, and they're good to go.
