KitchenAid KCG8433BM Burr Grinder: Enjoy Freshly-Ground Coffee Every Morning

Brandon Berryhil: I've ground a variety of different beans including oily ones and haven't had any problems so far. Only thing I've seen is the motor will overheat if you try to grind too much at once and shut off to cool off. But that's because I'm grinding 6 oz bags of coffee for my business just to test it.

Robert Reekie: Once you learn how to set it up for the grind you want it's perfect. I pregrind then vaccuum seal. So for me its the biggest drip setting for 70 seconds. I do two of those and ground catcher is perfectly full. Compared to my last grinder, i think i could use it in a library. Perfect for my wants and needs. And no changes between French Roast and Pikes Place. That it works this well now. It is great. As for longevity we will see. But ive already done 24 lbs. beans in 2 weeks and no problems. A very good machine.

Trusted Reviewer: My old coffee grinder didn’t exactly stop working, but it did start giving me problems. After a few years of dependable service, I would have to run it several times, and for several minutes, to get very little coffee grounds. I took it apart, cleaned it, etc… but nothing worked. Needless to say, I needed a new grinder.

I enjoy a good cup of coffee, but I’m not a coffee nerd. I’m not pulling espresso shots at home, so I can’t speak to how well it will meet the expectations of that crowd. I’m making a pot or two of drip coffee with fresh ground beans every morning. For my use, it’s great. In fact, it might be the best grinder on the market for my use case.

There’s a lot to like! It has a generously sized hopper with a tight sealing lid, and you can remove it while it’s filled (that’s awesome). It has 70 grind settings, and grind times from 1 second to 91.9 seconds (in 10th of a second intervals). The default cups/shots settings were very accurate in my testing. I set it to 8 cups, then measure what it produced with the included coffee scoop, and it was almost exactly 8 scoops. That said, you can adjust the default settings and program custom...

Paul friedman: Grinder is very quiet and the transfer to a storage container is super clean. No static coffee grinds going all over

Dan T: It is quiet and clean. Doesn’t spit grinds all over like another one we had. I like the design. It is aesthetically pleasing while sitting on the counter, and has a lot of adjustment for grind size. It comes apart easily, and is incredibly easy to clean. Even the burr ring comes out without tools. I highly recommend this unit

Dogman: We bought this to replace an old blade grinder that’s was noisy and slow
This machine is easy to load and calculate grind size and amount. And you can actually hold a conversation while it’s running. Kitchen Aid didn’t disappoint on this one. Get it when it’s on sale. It’s worth it.

Dark Cubone: Works great!
You put your grounds, select the method and cup count desired, and wait a few seconds and you will have the right amount of coffee for the right amount of cups. Why this is a game-changer? Because you will ensure an easy way to have freshly ground coffee for the method you want and for the cups that you need, every time and in just a few seconds. If you like to grind your coffee and like to use different methods for that, this is your new best friend!
It sounds loud, not going to lie, but it's relatively quiet if you compare it to a typical grinder. It's less loud than a typical blender.

Its good for the price, if you do deep research on this, you'll find that this is like a "high-end product for the middle tier of grinders". The next one in price/quality will be the professional ones and the price distance will be considerable and not necessarily have the many options and perks this great product has.
I use it every day, at least 3 times a day and my coffee tasting is better just because now I enjoy, with no effort, the right ground size and the right amount of coffee.

Charles J.: If you want a trouble free coffee grinder that is quiet, quick, and easy to use, consistent grinds, with very little mess, and easy to clean, then this is it. Your coffee grinding PTSD will be eliminated. I have used less expensive grinders than this Kitchen Aid, including a $20 Kitchen Aid, that was slow, loud, and difficult to clean. This grinder can be easily set for expresso, drip, and pour over. It has a slid for grind size that can be quickly set and a fine tuning dial to set the number of cups which also controls the grind time. It even has a micro adjustment knob.

I have now used this grinder a dozen times with absolutely no problems, not even static in the grind collector cup. Cleaning is easy. The stainless steel conical burr can be removed for cleaning, but should not be rinsed. The other parts, the coffee bean holder and collector cup with lid, and bottom tray should only be hand washed. Time wise, I can grind 5 different 1 lbs batches of whole bean coffee and clean up the machine in less than 1 hour at a leisure pace.

The most tedious part of cleanup are the top and bottom conical burrs using the provided brush. If you clean the conical burrs, the...

Xristos: We purchased this as we have an aging Cuisinart with a broken catch cup that I have taped together. It was loud and grinds went everywhere. We originally repaced it with the touch Cuisinart grinder but it was ear drum piercing loud and just awful at grinding and making a mess. I seriously wanted to smash it with a bat because of its noise. I decided to spend a bit more and bought the KitchenAid. I unpacked it fired it up and , OH MY GOD, was it quiet. Are you kidding me, for 10 years I assumed burr grinders just sounded like power tools. Here is the kicker it leaves NO grinds on the counter. So, once again, for 10 years I assumed this was the nature of the beast to make the counter look like a coffee desert.
Now, if you grind a lot of coffee at one time(like for the week) , it is best to give it small breaks to cool down in between grinds or you will get an error for over heating. I love this machine. I recommend this.

P.S. if anything goes wrong I will edit my review .
