KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Kitchenaid Bur Coffee Grinder
Comments: We are impressed with this product. It does a great job grinding the coffe and makes all the difference in the world in the taste as opposed to our old blade grinder. The only thing I would mark this product down for is the bottom glass jar that collects the ground coffee is pretty thin glass and I think it may be easily broken. It is not nearly as substantial as the top glass piece where the beans go. |

Summary: An outstanding coffee grinder
Comments: Burr-ground coffee tastes better. This is1magnificent gleaming bull of a grinder. Espresso may be a delight however it's over too soon for me, so I can not pronounce on the fine end, however the Kitchenaid's coarse settings yield French press coffee without mud;1click finer feeds my moka pot (Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator which fills1mug); the mid to fine range produces perfect drip in a plastic cone (e.g. Manual Drip Coffee Filter Cone). Other Kitchenaid small electrics have given me great service for a generation. And what's more, the thirty seconds I do not have to stand there holding the howeverton down delight me. |

Summary: do not forget the almost all important criteria: the TASTE!!
Comments: I have read some detailed and well written reviews of this burr grinder. I haven't read them all, however the ones I have reviewed leave out the almost all important criteria - the TASTE of the ground beans.
I gave this grinder to my son for Christmas, and I have been using it for a few days while he travels. My son, a barista in his own right, who introduce me to coffee, has taught me all the important aspects of making great coffee. I always grind my beans just before I brew the coffee in a French press (excuse my French). I keep the beans in a vacuum keeper. I brew at 190 degrees, F (I do not do metric).
On my 1st cup from this grinder I suspected something, that I have now confirmed. This grinder does not burn the beans. I had come to believe that the burned and acrid taste was simply part of the coffee experience. Not so, it was part of the burned bean experience imparted by all my blade grinders, and both of my burr grinders.
This grinder runs at a lower speed (see the Kitchenaid propaganda), and OH, what a sweet difference slower grinding makes!! The coffee is not bitter, the "other" flavor is gone, and I am now tasting the bean as God intended it to be tasted.
As for other lesser important criteria, this is much less noisy than all my other grinders, it does not spew grinds out the side onto the countertop as my present (soon to be replaced by this Kitchenaid) grinder does, it is much quicker than any other grinder I have owned. It does not have markings for how many cups you have ground, however you get used to that in a few grinds. It is larger than any others I have owned, however how important to you is great coffee? And Kitchenaid's Customer Service is top notch!! Spend an "extra" $50 for this grinder, and you will never need another one. |

Summary: coffee grinder great
Comments: This product is built like a tank and has eliminated problems with static and equipment that is impossible to maintain and install replace parts. On top of all that, it is much quieter than the burr grinder it replaced. |
