KitchenAid’s blade coffee grinder features a powerful blade grinding mechanism that consists of a stainless steel blade driven by a powerful 160-watt motor to grind coffee rapidly with minimum noise. The 4 oz. brushed stainless steel grinding bowl easily holds enough beans to brew up to 12 cups of coffee. The bowl has internal etched measurement markings that display the recommended brew (4, 8, 10 and 12 cups). The clear, top cover gives you one-touch control. Simply push down on the cover to begin grinding and release to stop. The clear cover also allows you to easily see the consistency of grinds. The heavy-duty motor housing helps keep the grinder stable during operation. Plus, the bowl lifts out, making it easy to transfer grinds to the coffee maker.
