KitchenAid BCG111OB Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Blades

Steven D. Rothkin: This is my 2nd purchase of this model. The 1st one lasted 10 years (of use at least once a week) before the motor dies.

The 2 parts that need cleaning (the metal tub with the grinding blade and the plastic top) simply go in the dishwasher (top rack). MUCH easier than Krups 203-42 (where the grinding tub has to be hand washed since it is built into the base).

TCat: I got this to replace my old KitchenAid grinder that I had for about 20 years. The rubber gear under the removable cup fell apart from age, but the motor was still fine. I wasn't successful in replacing the rubber part, so I decided to order a new KitchenAid grinder that looked basically like the old one. The basic design had not changed so I hoped it would be just as solid. I'm not unhappy with the new one, but it's definitely not like the old one, and it's true what they say about how they don't make them like they used to. Although the cup holds a good bit of coffee beans, if you fill it up to the max line, the beans will not grind well. The bottom half gets ground too fine while the top half is still very course. So I've had to fill the cup less, about half way, so that the beans keep moving through the blades and the batch grinds evenly. The whole grinder overall feels lighter and less solid. The stainless cup feels thin, and the brushed body feels rougher than I'd like. The coffee grinder does work, and overall it's fine, so I will keep it, and hopefully it will last for years. But, if you're hoping to replace your old KitchenAid grinder with this one, you may be slightly...

B: Kitchen-aid is a reliable brand and normally I prefer to buy something tried and true when it's an appliance I use every day. I absolutely love my other kitchen-aid brand appliances and none of them has ever worn out- they've only ever needed replacement due to misuse on my part. However I really wish that they would put some time into redesigning this specific one.

This is my second time trying out this exact model of coffee grinder and while it's not a BAD product, it is just not-right enough for my needs to make starting every day using it a little less good than it could be. I would not have given it a second try but the first one was a gift years ago and I forgot until I experienced the same issues with this one again that I had bought my last grinder to replace it because of those annoyances.

Some specifics to my needs/situation:
- I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and have difficulties with fragile skin, joint pain/dislocation, and a tendency to get repetitive stress injuries from just normal daily activities, so ergonomics is very important to my health and well-being.
- I drink coffee every. single. day.
-I am neurodivergent and loud noises at the...

Dave: Got this grinder yesterday - in use today. THE big improvment for me is the deep cup which holds the beans. Vendor claims it holds from level 4 (min) to 12 (max) of beans that will on average deliver 4-12 cups of coffee. After some use I can vouch for this. For optimal flavor, the experts insist you consume promptly after grinding. But, I like the convenience of grinding 8-12 cups worth early in the day, transfer to a handy jar, and we live off that for the rest of day. Flavor is good the whole time. Everything about this grinder is solid and well made, unlike others I have used. And, it's the quietest blade grinder I have ever used. It has that feel of a machine that will last a long time. I wont say more for now, but intend to return to update my review a month from now when I expect to know more.... Dec 13, 2020 UPDATE. I've been using this coffee grinder for at least a month now, and can confirm that the KitchenAid Grinder (BCG111ER) exceeds all my hopes and expectations, best grinder of the many I've had in the past several decades. Best features = (1) excellent control over the extent of grind (from fine to coarse). At max bean fill (that will make at least 12 cups), if you...
