Consumer review (epinions.com)

Revisiting this old workhorse.

 

Some time ago I wrote a review on this grinder. Resultant comments from previous owners became heated to the point that I got the feeling some people were treating my review as a springboard for a discussion forum on the grinder. Needless to say, I ...

Attractive, heavy duty motor, airtight bean container.

Temperamental, cannot grind oily beans, spotty build quality.

High-Maintenance Grinder with All the Noise

 

Kitchen Aid makes attractive-looking products with antique looks that recall a different era. Regrettably, they have not only retained the look, they've also retained antediluvian functionality and effectiveness. Things weren't necessarily better, way ...

Exceptionally good looking

Poorly Designed, Unfixable

 

This is a beautiful-looking grinder, especially in Empire Red. It's solid and substantial; even the little toggle switch on the side adds to the neat retro feel. The problem is that the product doesn't work worth a damn. The outflow spout sticks out of...

KitchenAid Quality all the way! It works and works well.

 

I bought my KitchenAid Classic Series Electric Burr Grinder about 5 years ago and I am completely satisfied with it. Mine is the Cobalt Blue colored Model KCG200BU. It's basically the same design that KitchenAid produced in 1938 with a few slight ...

16 grind settings, large one pound bean hopper, quality to last a lifetime!

I can't seem to think of any.

A Poorly Designed Product

 

I bought mine at J. C. Penney's for $100 and I am very disappointed. The directions advertise with pride that the grinder is the same design as originally manufactured in 1937 and I think that's very true. The engineering community has learned a ...
