Amazon.com Review
Coffee devotees know that an efficient grinder can be the secret to a great cup of joe. This model from KitchenAid delivers efficiency and more--from an oversized bowl to dishwasher-safe materials. Powered by a 200-watt motor, the grinder features a permanently attached stainless-steel blade that mills beans quickly and thoroughly. A generous four ounces, the brushed stainless-steel bowl is mounted to the motor housing with a clockwise turn and etched with handy reference markings. The machine turns on when you push down on the clear polycarbonate cover and off again when it's released. As a protective feature, the grinder only operates when the top is in place, so fingers are never exposed to moving blades. Solid and attractive, the grinder is also designed for frequent use and is easy to clean. Both its bowl and top cover go in the dishwasher, while the rest wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Emily Bedard

The best coffee grinder so far November 9, 2008
I bought this because I grind my own oat and flax. This doesn't grind as fine as I would like. It says not to go past 25 sec in grinding at one time. It also says not to start and stop. So what I do is grind it for 25 sec let it rest and go again three times. This does make the grain much finer. Another reason I love this one is the plastic doesn't get chipped in the grinding of grain. My old black and decker did and when that happens you are getting plastic into your food.
Other coffee grinders the cover is on the inside of the grinder. Because of that after grinding so many times the plastic starts to chip off into your food. The cover on this on is on the outside so the grain or coffee beans does not hit against the plastic. The cylinder that holds the beans or gain is tall. So if you don't fill it to high the grains or beans will never hit the plastic higher up on the cover.
The grain mill I have that grinds up my wheat for bread will not grind up oats and flax because of the oils in them. They say it can but that is not true. It clogged my machine. So if you are looking for a more safe way to grind up coffee or grains with out the risk of plastic in your food this is great. I would of given it a 5 star if it would grind finer. But that is impossible with any coffee grinder to do that for grains.
 KitchenAid BCG1000B Blade Cofffee Grinder Black Onyx November 2, 2008
After going through many unsatisfactory coffee grinders, I decided to do what I should have done in the first place. I went to KitchenAid. All their products are work horse quallity, heavy duty and work to perfection!!!!! This grinder grinds coffee like a pro should and with the ease to satisfy any coffee or espresso buff. Good coffee is not only in the brand you use, but in the grind you use, this little machine has it all. Thanks KitchenAid you did it again. I have my grandmothers 1940's KitchenAid mixer and it runs perfect.I know this grinder will give me the same satidsfaction. Susanne Parker,Snohomish Wa. P.S. Thanks Amazon

Excellent grinder! October 25, 2008
This is an excellent grinder! Before buying, I did some research to compare few grinder types and I finally chose this mostly because I'm attracted to the bowl/cup feature. It's so great just to pull the bowl/cup out and wash it completely. I had to worry about the cable with my old grinder and somehow there was always some smell the last thing that I grind. So, I used my old one exclusively only for spices. It broke when I used it for a cinnamon stick and that's when I bought this kitchen aid grinder.
Some review mention how messy this machine is. I just follow some suggestions from other reviews:
1. Use a piece of paper under the grinder while grinding.
After finish grinding, just shake the excess or the mess back into a bowl or coffee pot. Or throw the paper straight to the trash; no mess on the kitchen counter.
2. Use a brush. I just use my basting brush rather than buy a new one only for the grinder. I use the brush to pour the excess from the grinder out, rather than shake and make a mess.
I found out that grinding according the directions (bottom level for 15 seconds; medium for 17 seconds, and top for 20 seconds) produce the perfect coarseness for the coffee. Well, give or take 1-2 beans still intact, which does not matter, my coffee still comes out perfect!
I was wondering if I would need a second grinder specially for my spices. I grind my own black and white peppers, and sometimes cumin seeds. But after washing the grinder well with warm water and soap, there is no trace or smell of coffee. So, I am able to use it for my spices!
The only thing I haven't tested is if it would handle a cinnamon stick.
So, this is definitely a real good buy and I highly recommend it!
A great Coffee Grinder October 15, 2008
Works very well for grinding coffee. A small quanity of coffee always stays in the area under the blades. This is easily loosened with the handle end of a teaspoon and then falls freely from the hopper. I use about one half cup beans for 12 cups of coffee. The switch is turned on automatically when you depress the plastic hopper cover. I use 15 seconds of grind time.
Very good performance September 14, 2008

Really good coffee grinder. It always gets the job done perfectly, no "leftovers". Easy to clean, too. Definitely a keep...
