Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought mine on eBay, because I found it cheaper, but the reviews here are better & more accurate. I researched reviews on many burr coffee grinders - This wasn't among the top rated ones, but had better looks & style & fit in with some of my other KitchenAid appliences. Now that I have it, I find that it is a nice solid piece of equipment. I've used the setting from coarse to fine & have been happy with the consistency. I've used the fine for making Turkish coffee & been especially happy with it. I really wish KitchenAid would look at reviews & make changes accordingly. People have been grinding coffee for centuries. It is not rocket science; there should be a perfect coffee grinder our there! Changes I would make & at least one solution: The hopper has an inner lip that impedes the flow of the beans, catching a few that have to be manually pushed into the grinder. The lid to the hopper doesn't fit snuggly & would be nicer if it was heavier duty & threaded on. The grind jar is awkwardly shaped, difficult to hold onto & seems fragile. I found a great solution to this issue! I found a set of 4 Ball's canning jars at my local Walmart. "Collection Elite" One pint jars with lids. They fit perfectly &. with the lid, can be used to store your ground coffee. They are a better size & are more durable that the supplied grind jar.
