Product Review: Kitchenaid KPCG100NP Burr Coffee Grinder

The Kitchenaid KPCG100NP is a compact burr coffee grinder. The die-cast metal housing is designed to provide more durability while still allowing you to clean the machine easily. You can find the Kitchenaid KPCG100NP grinder for a price of $200. Let's take a look at some of the other features of this grinder.

The Kitchenaid KPCG100NP is powered by a DC motor. The motor is equipped with a gear reduction system so that the machine won't generate much noise. The stainless steel cutting burrs have a diameter of 2.25 inches and are adjustable to 15 different sizes. This allows the Kitchenaid KPCG100NP to produce a consistent grind for anything between French press and espresso.

In addition to operating with less noise, the Kitchenaid KPCG100NP also operates at a low RPM. Since it operates at only 450 RPMs, the grinding process will produce less heat. This helps to preserve the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans that you're grinding.

The grinder is equipped with a bean hopper and coffee bin capable of holding up to seven ounces. Both the hopper and bin are made of glass in order to reduce static. This will help prevent the coffee grounds from clinging to the sides of the hopper and bin.

The Kitchenaid KPCG100NP is also easy to maintain. The hopper lid, coffee bin, and bean hopper are all safe to put in the dishwasher. You are also provided with a cleaning brush so that you can clean the machine easily.

As mentioned earlier, this burr coffee grinder has a compact design. It measures 12 x 6 x 13.5 inches and weighs approximately 11 pounds. The Kitchenaid KPCG100NP is designed to mount beneath one of the cabinets in your kitchen. You also don't have to have an outlet that close as the unit is equipped with a 43 inch power cord. The grinder is designed to be durable, but it is still backed by a generous two-year warranty.
