Product Description
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.

A Winner!
I bought this grinder to replace my aging and ailing Solis Maestro and so far, I'm delighted with it. The thing I noticed right off the bat is that it's much quieter than the Maestro and it's far easier to adjust the grind. All in all, it seems more straightforward and less finicky than my old grinder. It's very solidly built and fairly heavy, giving it a substantial feel. I really like the fact that the hopper and the receptacle are made of glass, not plastic; the ground coffee doesn't cling to it and it's easier to get it really clean with no old oil residue. Finally and most importantly, its 15 settings produce the perfect grind for a variety of brewing methods and there are even instructions provided for adjusting the burrs if the factory settings aren't to your liking.
First really good coffee grinder I've ever had
The first day I got it I thought I was in trouble - it stuck and started smoking. I cleaned it out & it seemed to work fine, and has in fact worked like a dream ever since. After my last grinder, where I had to physically jam the beans down into the burrs to get them to grind, the occasional nudge with a chopstick is a breeze. And I think the coffee tastes better - cleaner and more alive. Kitchenaid support is terrific. I called to ask about the smoking and to request a missing brush; the rep spent 15 minutes checking to make sure I could go on using the grinder and the brush arrived promptly. (And btw, they tell me the warranty on this is a year, because it's a pro product, not six months). I am very, very happy.
Simply Perfect!
The grinder arrived yesterday...washed and dried it right away so I could make a pot of coffee with the pro line coffee maker I got for christmas. First thing I noticed was how much quieter it was from the models I've had in the past! Every grinder is going to be noisy, but this one is quiet enough that I can be on the phone while standing next to it!
Everything about this grinder is quality. My reconditioned one came in PERFECT condition (not a scratch or spot on it). I was so excited when I saw the price drop on this (finally an excuse good enough to convince my husband we needed it).
I think I will be adjusting the burrs for a finer ground (espresso) since the factory setting is just a bit too coarse on the finest setting. At first I was a bit annoyed I had to adjust it for that, but then I thought about it...most machines aren't adjustable at all and having that option is wonderful. I am completely happy with this purchase.
