Customer Reviews for KitchenAid 7 oz. Empire Red Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Blade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend bought this for me as my other coffee grinder broke. I enjoy using this and love the sleek design. It grinds well and I like that the metal part can be detached so it's easy to wash. Great deal for the kitchen aide brand too.

We bought this grinder a few months ago and noticed right away that the grinder blades are different then our former grinder. Both ends of the grinder blade turn up. One should be turned down and one should be turned up like our other one was. With the design of both ends turned up some of the grounds get very fine and stuck on the bottom, the rest of the grounds are various sizes unless you grind for a long time. Otherwise the grinder works fine. Question below is a yes or no question but I will add to it. I would not recommend unless they change the design.

Bought this two weeks ago, used it almost daily and as far a coffee grinder goes, this is terrible. It grinds coffee alright but ground coffee is never there same; you get different grind size. To make things worse, the coffee beans that are closes to the blade get pulverized into almost an espresso grind AND get stuck at the bottom, under the blade while the rest of the coffee beans get ground into different sizes. Regardless of how many ounces of coffee I use, whether for 2 people or 4, the same problem persists: beans not ground to the same size and ground to a finer consistency at the bottom. Looks great and build quality is good but just doesn't do the job it was supposed to. I wish I could return and get my money back. My old, broken 10 year old braun grinder grinds way better than this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek and matched my mixer and blender. Easy to use and grinds with the touch of a finger. Different grind times allow you to get the perfect grind for French press, auto-drip, espresso and more. Very easy to clean. A must have for every coffee enthusiast. My old one moms 50’s KitchenAid wore out after almost 70 years. With appliances that last this long why buy anything else. LOVE MY KITCHENAID!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it to grind some coffee that I brought from Vietnam and it has a good blade you can stop grinding whenever you want to and get the consistency that you like. I grinded finely for a French press and it was very nice grinded.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use almost every day for something or another. Love It.

Just got a BCG1110B a few days ago. We replaced the coffee pot at the same time. It took me a few days to check the fill lines and compare them to what it says in the user manual. I found that the 12 cup mark is 18 tablespoons, not 14 as it says in the manual. In fact all of the lines are for a number of tablespoons equal to 1.5 x number of cups. (I checked with several measuring device) Also note that the 8 to 10 distance and 10 to 12 distance are both one cm so it is unlikely the volume differences would be 3 and 2 tbsp. Anyway, it is easy to adjust, and I like being able to pour the coffee into grinder rather than count coffee scoops. Just beware, and perhaps the user manual can be updated or the markings on the grinder corrected in the next redesign.

The grind is always inconsistent with some ground too fine and others not ground at all. The design is poor as there is no lip to catch the lid and always makes a mess when grinding. It looks nice, but I would rather have something uglier that works as opposed to something sleek that works terribly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been enjoying this coffee grinder, works well, for what I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee grinder is very small. I had an older model and it was small but larger than this one. When I use it it leaves a mess on the counter.

Not coffee drinker but wanted to be able to make ground up flax seed. It works great and I love how it turns the flaxseed into a nice powder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am dissappointed in this grinder. I had to replace my old KitchenAid because the module was discontinued and I can't find the part. This grinder is so much smaller, than the other one. It is difficult to clean or get everything out. When I grind it makes a mess around it.

The machine itself is very pretty and sleek. Also user friendly. However, it grinds very inconsistently. The coffee clumps at the bottom and the grounds at the bottom become very fine and the grounds at the top are left coarse and inconsistent. This has happened every time I've used it and I follow the instructions. Very disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and it works terrific. Easy to clean and the blade grids coffee perfect for a French Press pot.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Nice product which can be combined with blades specifically designed for grinding small spices. Would be great if the large bowl also comes with a lid and if the lids are tighter so that I don't have to use wrap and tape to avoid spills. The lids work fine now but could get loose in the long run. Anyway, not a big issue to me and good product in general.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) i was looking for a coffee grinder that doesn't take up a lot of space and looked good on my counter and i found it with this model. i chose red to go with my other appliances This coffee grinder is pretty quiet, fast, clean and easy to clean. it goes well with my new kitchen aid coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a new coffee grinder. This replaced a burr grinder and is far superior to what I had been using. Less fuss and mess.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Great and easy product to use. I always buy kitchenaid is brand I can trust. Highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grounds build up on the bottom and need to be scraped out after each use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Somewhat difficult to operate, as motion to turn on grinder requires a perfect alignment with grinder and top. Previous grinder which we had for about 9 years was much easer to operate.

Perfect for large pots (50 oz) of coffee or grinding herbs. Easy to use and clean.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bought this some months ago and very. happy with it. It's both efficient and attractive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little grinder, takes up no space, works great and is relatively quiet in operation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No mess, virtually no fuss. As expressed in the review title: five star says it all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started growing my own herbs, this is perfect for my new endeavor.

Super easy to use, efficient, safe, easy to clean, and a great size. Plus who doesn't love the red color and KA quality?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and so happy that I did, I got it to grind up coffee but it does so much more. Can use it for herbs, spices, tea leaves you name it. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best coffee grinder on the market for the price by far !!! I not only use it for coffee, but I also use it to grind nuts for cooking as well. Works perfectly. Love Kitchenaid !!!
