Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic
Customer Review: Powerful, good grind, but with some design flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
A friend who owns one of these grinders highly recommended it to me. I took the deal on the reconditioned version, saving about $200, all at the cost of a shortened warranty. I have had great success with Kitchen Aid products in the past, so I don't anticipate any problems. The grinder itself is solidly built, and it grinds with plenty of power. The sound of the motor alone instills confidence that this piece of equipment will last a long time. The grind is certainly acceptable. I usually make either French press coffee or espresso, and the two ends of the spectrum are fine for my needs. The one complaint I have (which is echoed by others) is that the hopper design is less than perfect. Beans get caught in several different crevices and flat spots on their way to the burrs. This is remedied by a slap on side of the machine, or employing a skewer or chopstick to coax the beans down to where they need to go. The top lid does not fit tightly, but I usually weigh out my beans each time as opposed to keeping beans in the hopper-and the lack of a timer necessitates you measure the amount of beans you want each time you grind anyway. The glass catcher seems a little fragile, and its shape is not great for scooping out of, but these aren't major complaints. All in all, it's a fine grinder, it's well built and seems like it will last some time, and the few design flaws don't detract much from the overall quality.
Description of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic
The KitchenAid Pro Line Coffee Mill is made of handsome Die-Cast metal housing making for a rugged, stable, and easy to clean unit. With the Pro Line Coffee Mill, you can adjust the Commercial Quality Stainless Steel Cutting Burrs to 15 different Grind Sizes for that perfect Espresso, French Press, or cup of automatic drip. The 7 oz capacity bean hopper and coffee bin are glass to minimize the static "cling" of coffee grounds. The DC motor with gear reduction system makes for quiet grinding. System turns the cutting burrs at just 450 rpm, minimizing the frictional heating of the grinds and preserving coffee flavor and aroma. The Under-Cabinet design allows the unit to fit easily under wall cabinets on the countertop. The smooth metal housing is a snap to wipe clean. Bean hopper, hopper lid, and coffee bin are dishwasher-safe.Grinders & Roasters
