   Got this grinder yesterday – in use today. THE big improvment for me is the deep cup which holds the beans. Vendor claims it holds from level 4 (min) to 12 (max) of beans that will on average deliver 4-12 cups of coffee. After some use I can vouch for this. For optimal flavor, the experts insist you consume promptly after grinding. But, I like the convenience of grinding 8-12 cups worth early in the day, transfer to a handy jar, and we live off that for the rest of day. Flavor is good the whole time. Everything about this grinder is solid and well made, unlike others I have used. And, it’s the quietest blade grinder I have ever used. It has that feel of a machine that will last a long time. I wont say more for now, but intend to return to update my review a month from now when I expect to know more…. Dec 13, 2020 UPDATE. I’ve been using this coffee grinder for at least a month now, and can confirm that the KitchenAid Grinder (BCG111ER) exceeds all my hopes and expectations, best grinder of the many I’ve had in the past several decades. Best features = (1) excellent control over the extent of grind (from fine to coarse). At max bean fill (that will make at least 12 cups), if you hold the lid down (i.e., turn the grinder on) for 20-25 seconds you get a fine grind suitable all the way to espresso. [Note – for espresso you may need to go longer than 25 seconds (with a full grinder cup) depending on your espresso machine and the nature of the beans. The vendor cautions that excessive grind time may over heat the grinder. As a test, I went up to 29 seconds without over heating my machine.] Between 15 to 20 seconds will give you a coarser grind suitable for example for a french press (mine works best at 16 seconds). Remember, I determined these grinder times required to get my desired grind (coarse to fine) WITH THE GRINDER CUP FILLED TO MAXIMUM WITH COFFEE BEANS. If you put fewer beans in the grinder cup, required time to get a particular grind will be reduced. (2) Consistency of grind – For a given quantity of beans and a set grind time I get very much the same grind output every time. (3) Small foot print. This KitchenAid grinder takes up very little space on your counter top. (4) Sturdy build that makes below average noise, and feels solid with a pleasing heft to it. To get the performance you want, you should go through a bench-marking process similar to what I did so you can consistently get the extent of grind you prefer (coarse to fine). You really need a timer for this. And, for ease of use, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the outer (clear plastic) cap and the stainess steel inner cup which holds the beans. Notice that the outer cap connects to the grinder body with two small plastic pins that extend down from this cap and fit into two corresponding holes in the grinder body. These pins have to fit into their holes or you can not push the cap down far enough to start the grinder motor. This is a safety feature. God forbid that a child could somehow start the ginder. And, for someone who is sometimes a bit rough with their equipment, this ‘pin in the hole’ design may also present a slight chance of breaking one of the plastic pins. In that event, you will need another plastic cap and I don’t know if KitchenAid sells replacement parts. Another safety feature is having the cutting blade built into the steel cup which holds the beans. If the cup is not inserted into the grinder body, it might be possilbe to start the motor (I didn’t try this), but only the driver shaft would spin harmlessly, there being no blade to engage. There are indentations on the cup which must be aligned with an obvious mark on the grinder body. To accomplish this, insert the cup with the indentation aligned. It wont fit in! Good, that’s another safety feature. While gently urging the cup to insert downward, rotate the cup counter clockwise. After a half inch or so, the cup will readily drop down to the ‘engagement level’. At this lower level, rotate the cup back in a clockwise move until that cup indentation is aligned as desired. The fit is snug, another reflection of the grinder’s sturdy build.

   The grinder is much quieter than any of the handheld ones I’ve used. The metal cylinder comes out easily and you can directly dump the ground coffee into your filter. A big flaw with many grinders is the tab that pushes the grind button is exposed on the lid and I’ve had ALL of them break on the vinyl kitchen floor when dropped. This grinder does not have that weakness. One thing you can’t do with this grinder is shake it like people do with the handheld models but you can tap and rock it to get a more thorough grind. Best grinder I’ve had yet.

   This is a great bang for your buck grinder. I don’t drink coffee so I use it for spices and other things. YES, it does get messy given this poor design. HOWEVER, you can avoid the mess easily with some cling wrap over the top of the housing. For extra assurance I have a rubberband to keep the cling wrap in place as well. No more mess.

   This grinder gives grinds based on how many seconds you do the actual grind. 15-17 seconds for me. Directions caution that you could overheat the grounds if you go too long giving a bitter flavor. Has not occurred for me. Cord is heavy and comes with a plastic binder tie. Easy to use. After the grind, however, about a quarter inch of grinds remain under the blade and you need to bang the cup to get them out.

   Does a good job. As far as noise, it’s a coffee grinder.

   I don’t use this product often. But it came in handy when we got a puppy. My husband grinded his dog food.

   If you’re looking for a small coffee grinder for one or two people, this is the one. It does its main job of grinding coffee beans, but because it doesn’t have a lid that needs to open at the top (the whole top piece comes off, and you pour your grounds out directly from the removable metal cup), it’s far less messy than the other ones I’ve used. That’s why I’d choose this one over ones that might be a few dollars cheaper.
