KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic customer reviews:

It is as Advertised 
After checking around for a good replacement coffee grinder, I decided to go with the KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder. Many of my fellow coffee drinkers are more into espresso coffee vs drip or French roast and don't believe this grinder is up to the task. They could be right but I don't wake to espresso each morning but instead go for a good drip coffee from my Technivorm Moccamaster and found that this grinder is more then up to the challenge. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is that it is still a fairly new purchase and I need to make sure the durability is there but presently I am more then satisfied with this grinder.
needs adjustment
I've only had this grinder for a few days, but right out of the box, I noticed ( small stuff) the measuring spoon missing and the lid to the hopper was scratched, made me wonder if I got a returned/re-packaged grinder? I bought this mostly for our french press and we also have an espresso machine. On first try, the finest grind was course ( for espresso)...and I actually notched it down one for my french press. I'm thinking I have to make some adjustments already, which means taking it apart...this displeases me already for the money i put out. All the other reviews seem so positive. I wanted to let someone know about the missing parts and scratches, but haven't been able to leave feedback to the sender. I will give this a go ...hopefully this is not my final review.KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic
Quality construction, poor design
I paid $150 for this machine because I am tired of buying things that don't last. This machine is built like small appliances built 50 years ago and I'm confident it it will last a long long time.
However, for a product this expensive they really missed on the mark on design. For example, there is just a simple flip switch for on/off. As a result, it requires that you stand there and monitor how much coffee has been ground and turn it off at precisely the right moment. A much better design would be an adjustable timer so you could turn on the grinder and walk away and come back to the amount you wanted.
Also, the coffee receptacle needs a handle so you can get it out and pour the coffee into the coffee maker. As it is, it feels like it is going to fall out of your hand because it is wide and smooth glass.
Finally, we put the glass receptacle away and don't use it any more because we found it is easier to just put the filter basket from the coffee maker under the grinder and let the ground coffee fall directly into the filter basket. Our use of it in this manner made me wonder why it was not designed this way. There could be a track under the grinder that would allow you to insert the coffee maker filter basket right under the grinder and, with the timer I suggested, you could walk away and come back and just pull out the basket and put it into your coffee maker.
I know this might seem like I am dissatisfied, but the quality of the machine itself makes up for a lot. I just wonder if the designers of this machine actually use it at home. We have children and mornings are hectic. It just seems there is a market for a quality high-end grinder like this that combines a few convenience features.
So for quality I would give it 5 stars, but for features I would give it 1, so on balance I gave it 3 stars.
Great grinder!
My Gaggia 7001 finally packed it in after a couple of years of use and I replaced it with the KitchenAid. While the KitchenAid doesn't seem to grind quite as fine (which it might do, but I haven't actually tried to fine-tune the grinding mechanism yet) and while it takes up a bit more space on the counter top, it is MUCH quieter, MUCH faster, and MUCH easier to use! It is also a MUCH sturdier unit. I could not be happier with it!
Finally, a quality burr grinder for my kitchen
Having owned and hated the KitchenAid A-9 Coffee Mill (KCG200) I was very weary about letting my finance put this on our wedding registry. I gave in finally and am glad I did.
This grinder has an excellent range, outputs a very consistent grind, is very clean (no grinds leak from the receptacle cup), and very quiet. Every time I've used it (about 4 pounds of coffee so far) I said "god I love this grinder."
