Poor grinding, poor performance
Purchased the KitchenAid grinder after purchasing a coffee machine without a grinder.
I decided to go with the KitchenAid grinder as they have a decent Branding and the price was ok at the time.
The issue and flaw to this KitchenAid grinder is it builds up at the bottom and fails to grind evenly.
I have gone out now, and purchased a Breville coffee grinder, over the KitchenAid grinder.
“Will be disposing of the KitchenAid grinder”
Disappointed about this purchase as the other KitchenAid products I have are good: mixer, blender (it’s fantastic) and food processer.

Not up to the usual KitchenAid standard
The product is falsely labelled "Spice and Coffee Grinder" and the instruction book shows the parts used to grind spices, but they are not included in the box. I have found the coffee doesn't grind fine enough for a stove-top percolator, regardless of how long it is blitzed for. The coffee grounds build up under the blade, which stops it from mixing through the depth of the bowl to grind the remainder. As the lid doesn't seal (it is more of a cover), flecks of coffee end up escaping and make it to the motor drive, which is fiddly to clean after use.
As a long time KitchenAid user, this product just does not live up to the normal exceptional standards of the brand. This was given to me as a gift, so I can't even return it for not being fit for use.

Broken blade within few times of use
I bought this grinder and only used approximately 3 times for grinding coffee and spices. it is messy however when I used it to grind some chilly it filled the kitchen with ground chilly then eventually what’s so called stainless steel blade broke into two pieces as per photo, not a quality product, the blade is tin and not stainless, cheap plastic. I recommend Aldi or Kmart cheap grinder over this, I have been grinding my herbs and spices on my Aldi $10 grinder for years and have never ever seen a blade that break down like this.

Poor operation
I tried to grind some spicy, I fortunately the spicy goes everywhere and made kitchen messy. I returned to store because I am not happy with it.

Doesn't grind coffee fine enough
I was disappointed and not able to use it as a coffee grinder which is what I bought it for. I had my doubts that it would grind fine enough. I was told in the shop that it would and even rang Kitchenaid before I used it, but I was unable to return it. The ratings that I was required to select below arn't really relevant as I haven't used it other than to try it for coffee. It is probably fine for herbs and I love my other Kitchenaid products but this does not grind fine enough for reusable coffee pods.

It does not ground coffee finely enough
I purchased this a few weeks ago and tested it with some coffee beans. The ground coffee was so big no matter how much I ground it. I made some coffee using an electric filter and it came out almost only water.

False advertisement
I bought this machine as per the advertisement on Kitchen aid website calling it Spice and coffee Grinder. Unfortunately it appeared that it is. The coffee grinder not spice grinder. Having contacted the customer service, unfortunately I realised that the spice grinder or the extra parts that function as spice grinder are not sent to Australia and can be find only in the United States. Having said that the customer service was happy to receive the machine back and send me the refund. Regarding its function as a coffee grinder it works well. However the degree of grinding is under the user hand by repeating the grinding more or less. Also it is slightly messy and cleaning the machine wouldn’t be easy after the job is done.

It does the job with oomph
I just bought this and while the design is not everything I was looking for the power and results of the grinder are outstanding.
