Learn about the grinder in the book that came with it. You can find out how much it is exactly. There are three things I grind To prepare a 12-ounce pot, add four heaping tablespoons of coffee beans at a time I have a four-cup percolator coffee maker and it works great. You can use it easily and it is so efficient. Having the grind cup come off to empty the ground coffee is a great feature. My wife and I both love this product. That said, we are both very particular about our household products as elderly granny. To work properly, they must be easy to use and I must be able to rely on them. All of these categories give it high marks. Several of my friends have recommended it to me. As well as my word, I stand by it.
Metal is used most of the time, but plastic parts are present too, but in very few numbers. However, it is made of metal and has a blade and barrel.
Since I wrote that review, I've had a chance to use my KA grinder more extensively. I am still pleased with its performance, but have come to realize that grinding times need to be longer than those described in the directions. Likewise, I prefer a fine grind, so I grind in increments of twenty (one thousand, two thousand, and so on). Whenever possible, it is helpful to pause at ten and gently shake the grinder to ensure you have a thorough grind without jars of whole beans left afterward. You'll enjoy it.

Our lab area recently purchased a coffee grinder like this for grinding not coffee. Even though this is not the intended use case, it seems to be quite effective for this application. The plastic part of the metal container does not seal tightly to the metal cup when you grind any liquid in it, so it tends to spill out the sides and into the crevices between the plastic bottom and the metal cup, which can become quite a mess and difficult In the end, we were able to fix the problem by inserting a small O-ring in place of the wire There is a ring around the top of the coffee grinder to prevent parts from spilling out or at the very least, to minimize the flow of particulates out of the cup. It is a foreign language We bought the ring from McMaster (it is very cheap, though I am sure there are even cheaper sources) and it had a 3in ID and 3in OD. Fits very snugly into the top of the grinder with its 125in OD (see photo for part number). Thanks to this fix, Not Coffee (or coffee) does not spill into the side of the cup anymore.
I'll give you a moment. The sip of the sip of the sip. It took me a couple months to write this because there was so much disagreement in the reviews that I wanted to get an expert In none of the cases did the complaints turn out to be accurate. Despite not having advanced settings like grin levels or grinding speeds, this grinder works well and is great for grinding your own beans at home to make fresh coffee. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because it is a basic model and does not have any advanced settings. I found it to be very Having just made myself a cup of coffee before sitting down, I actually just made a fresh one. Take a deep breath. [sips] Ahhhh, yeah, that's what it is. I thought that one review complained that the blade got stuck, and while the blade can get stuck if you grind too long or put in too many beans (I usually grind about half a cup at once) I found that I only had to grind for about 10 seconds to get the desired grind. My suspicions are that the complainant is over-reacting If the grinder was grinding or if it was filled to maximum, the level exceeded what was recommended. The second time I used it, I over ground the beans and they stuck a little to the bottom, but I had a separate container in which I stored a few days' worth of ground beans, so I turned the removable grind cup upside down and tapped it into place. Ultimately, the trick is not that hard and you can use a knife to spin the blade to loosen any stuck coffee that gets stuck. It would be hard to remove all grinders in the same way, and I think that would be the case for all grinders.
Whether you are grinding your daily coffee or spice, this one will work fine for you. It packs a punch, strong enough to grind dried cinnamon sticks into dust in almost no time. It was even able to solve the problem of grinding hard-to-grind spices. With determination, dry the ginseng root. I am using it to grind herbs, but there are some drawbacks as well. 1.
Canister lids do not fit tightly against the canisters. The lid settles and even escapes when grinding harder herbs, which causes a lot of dust to accumulate between the lid and the canister. It is unacceptable when small quantities of herbs are weighed before grinding, since these results in an unacceptable loss, and formulas become incorrect as a result. 2 . *vbr>
3. Several cracks and crevices in the construction give herb dust a place to hide, making it difficult to get rid of. The paint brush usually helps me sweep it out, but it's not always effective. 4. Finally, 3. The other day I put some sugar in the grinder to make it powdered. A large accumulation of darker herbs had been lodged under the blade of the grinder, which was released by the white sugar. Due to not knowing what I had in there, I threw out 1/4 cup of sugar until I could determine what I had. While these drawbacks may not matter if I am only using it for coffee, they will not matter for me if I am only using it for coffee-- In fact, coffee doesn't need to have a long grind time, and if it's not being used for anything else, you may want to keep the debris in the mechanism so that it rotates slowly and is The grinder is not a good choice for herbalists or cooks who want to grind their herbs to use in the kitchen.
The grinder is also small, but appears to be very sturdy. It is impossible to close this gap by pressing on the lid, as there are a few millimeters between the metal pot and the cap. They will jump in from the metal pot and eventually through the gap when you grind them. More and more material jumps out and collects on the outer rim as the grinding process becomes finer. All of this stuff falls to your kitchen table shortly after you remove the lid. Having watched this advertisement twice, I am confident that an operator is present at the end of the message The gasket or ring was missing, but not the ring. Clearly, there was a design flaw which could have been easily corrected. Several far better grinders are available for the same price, ones that do not contaminate I will have to go purchase a 50 pack of tissue paper I'll take 100 for 100 The reviewer suggested approximately 25 rings (as that was suggested by the other reviewer). You will have to pay 50% of the grinder's price. The overarching finding is that not every one of these It is possible to use a ring as a food container (CA proposition 65) Chemical exposure that plays a role in the development of For a grinder like this, however, this probably isn't much of a problem, since it comes with a California Proposition 65 sticker. This product is not recommended for purchase. It is possible to find a better grinder! The attached pictures illustrate the situation.
Today I received both this item and an expresso machine, both on the same day. There is no mention in the item description of this product that it should not be used to grind beans for espresso It states, on page 8, that this grinder's instructions should be read It is not recommended that you grind espresso beans on this grinder for pumps- Machines of this type. In the case of automatic drip and French press (which uses a coarse grind), it is only supposed to be used for these purposes. The fact that also appears on page 8 also suggests it might be the case. A longer grinding cycle will result in finer coffee grinds, but can also overheat the coffee grinds and destroy valuable coffee flavors. "
The product description should make it clear that it is only meant to be used with automatic drip and French press coffee machines!.
My Cuisinart grinder was old and worn out. I got this to replace it. Initially I was frightened of the color and shape, but after using it for a month now I feel that it is well-built, as well as quieter than the Curisinart. It produces a consistent grind, and I am very pleased.
