Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White
Customer Review: Two broken in six months
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm really surprised at the ratings this thing has gotten. Maybe I was just REALLY unlucky. But I had this grinder on my wish list at Christmas and somehow ended up with two. Bummer, I thought, but put one in the closet thinking I'd sell it eventually. Well, within three months the first one stopped working. You would push down on the lid and nothing happened. We took it apart and cleaned every nook and cranny, but couldn't identify the problem. So I pulled out the spare from the closet and within two months that one stopped working! Again, maybe it's just our bad luck, but given that both broke, I would never recommend buying one.
I should also add that I wasn't a big fan of the way it worked (when it did work). Like others have said, you would end up with uneven grounds - some fine and other entire beans or huge chunks. And unlike other grinders where you could tap it upside down on the counter and then flip it over without any mess, this one always seemed to result in grounds on the kitchen counter. I had to use it on a kitchen towel and shake the mess into the trash.
Description of KitchenAid BCG100WH Blade Coffee Grinder, White
New from KitchenAid, their Blade Coffee Grinder is powerful, durable, stylish and convenient. It has a 200-watt motor with a stainless steel blade to grind whole beans for the freshest taste and the richest aroma. It has a heavy-duty motor housing and bowl with a hi-impact top cover. Its sleek design provides an elegant look, and comes in four smart colors. To use, simply push down on the center top cover and your beans will grind to the consistency desired. Remove the top cover and bowl and pour your ground beans into your coffee maker. Other features include a dual interlock system that locks the top cover in place before grinding, a pulse control, and etched markings to adjust the amount of grinds to your liking.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
