KitchenAid Burr Coffee Grinder - KCG8433 - Black Matte, 10 Oz

This grinder is literally perfect. There is ZERO static. It grinds quickly, even with oily beans. It is also very quiet.This grinder is far superior to the Baratza Encore it replaced. The Encore was very slow and very noisy, it also struggled with oily beans.We grind espresso on the finest setting and it works perfectly with our Breville espresso machine; note that we use a pressurized portafilter.

Ce moulin à café est très silencieux. Il ne prend pas beaucoup de place. Il présente très bien sur mon comptoir de cuisine. Il est parfait pour les expresso . Il peut faire toute les sortes de moutures. Donc il est parfait pour votre café favoris. Je le recommande vivement

En este molino me gustó el tamaño, el diseño y el grosor para poder moler el café, es muy práctico.

I've had many burr grinders over the years in the $85 to $120 range, but lately have been dissatisfied, quality seemed to be dropping. So I spent a couple months comparing reviews of many brands & models, finally decided to get this KitchenAid model (compared to the poorly-rated $250 Kitchen Aid burr grinder - messy, difficult to clean, etc.) Too many of the other brands in $120 - $220 range had numerous complaints about inconsistent grind, loudness, and jamming requiring frequent cleaning ... or the bane of burr grinders, STATIC mess (which I was well familiar with!).This grinder has a solid, well-built construction, exactly what you'd expect from Kitchen Aid. Two things are absolutely AMAZING: 1) it is UNBELIEVEABLY QUIET, just a soft, gravel-ly rumble at low RPM, with no "motor whine" whatsoever - quietest grinder I've ever heard, 2) the Anti-Static technology is INCREDIBLE, I have ALWAYS found EVERY burr grinder has static issues and some degree of mess is common; not with this unit, there is NO static charge WHATSOEVER. Grind drops into the lower hopper forming a conical pile just like salt or sugar, with no jumping/sticking to anything afterwards.Additionally, the dosing system is indeed intelligent. It took me a few days of fine-tuning to dial everything in, but it does so very well. Grinds are extremely consistent within each batch and across batches.The upper hopper catch-gate is a stroke of genius, I've never seen any other manufacturer have that feature, it makes cleaning - on the rare occasion you might need to clean the burrs - a whiz. No need to empty out beans ahead of removing the hopper.I do agree with one criticism mentioned by a recent reviewer; after playing with grinds, I do think the coarsest setting - French Press - is not coarse enough. On the opposite end of spectrum the finest Espresso grind is right-on. FYI, the optional (internal, mechanical) fine setting of the upper burr as delivered is set to coarse, so you can't make French Press any coarser, you can only adjust Expresso more towards Turkish ...Overall this is the best $200 I've ever spent on coffee utensils, no question about it. It is a sheer pleasure to press a button and hear this thing quietly & calmly produce a precision grind in a precision amount, and with NO STATIC. I'm not sure HOW they achieved that last part, but it WORKS - ZERO static!Unless you plan on using coarser grades like French Press, I 100% recommend this Kitchen Aid model.

I love this burr grinder. I've been scouring reviews for the past six months trying to find a grinder that 1) produces a uniform grind, 2) doesn't produce a lot of dust, 3) doesn't create static in the finished grind and thus is no-mess when transferring the grounds and 4) is relatively quiet. Score! The KitchenAid KCG8433OB does all that. Added plusses are the fact that it looks great on the kitchen counter and it appears to be very well built. It's very easy to use with many grind-size adjustments as well as the ability to fine-tune grind time and store custom settings. To be sure this is on the higher end of entry-level grinders but is well worth the cost if you are looking for one that will make delicious coffee, whether pour over, drip, or French-press.
