It's completely safe - you'd have to be completing misusing it to hurt yourself. It will last forever. Cleanup couldn't be easier - the whole thing can be cleaned. I've had mine for over 5 years and it's still going strong. Every kitchen should have one.
This truly is the little coffee grinder that could - and does. I can't see how that would happen. Whether it's coffee or spices or basil or even butter (yep, I've tried them all), this grinder does a dream of a job. And once you get it. Really hope the fact that this is "currently unavailable" doesn't mean KitchenAid has gotten out of the coffee grinder business.
I can't imagine people having problems with this - or hurting themselves. Like I said, I hope this item is back soon, it makes a perfect present for the coffee lover on your list.
Grounds the beans just right. Great value for the money. Have had this now for a couple of months. No operational problems.
As always for anything KitchenAid, excellent product. Because it is easy to clean, I use it for grinding spices as well.
The cover on this on is on the outside so the grain or coffee beans does not hit against the plastic. It says not to go past 25 sec in grinding at one time. But that is impossible with any coffee grinder to do that for grains. Because of that after grinding so many times the plastic starts to chip off into your food. So what I do is grind it for 25 sec let it rest and go again three times. The cylinder that holds the beans or gain is tall. It clogged my machine.
They say it can but that is not true. So if you are looking for a more safe way to grind up coffee or grains with out the risk of plastic in your food this is great. Another reason I love this one is the plastic doesn't get chipped in the grinding of grain. This doesn't grind as fine as I would like. It also says not to start and stop. My old black and decker did and when that happens you are getting plastic into your food.Other coffee grinders the cover is on the inside of the grinder.
So if you don't fill it to high the grains or beans will never hit the plastic higher up on the cover. I would of given it a 5 star if it would grind finer. I bought this because I grind my own oat and flax. This does make the grain much finer. The grain mill I have that grinds up my wheat for bread will not grind up oats and flax because of the oils in them.
Thanks KitchenAid you did it again. This grinder grinds coffee like a pro should and with the ease to satisfy any coffee or espresso buff. Susanne Parker,Snohomish Wa. I went to KitchenAid. Thanks Amazon, Good coffee is not only in the brand you use, but in the grind you use, this little machine has it all.
P.S. After going through many unsatisfactory coffee grinders, I decided to do what I should have done in the first place. All their products are work horse quallity, heavy duty and work to perfection. I have my grandmothers 1940's KitchenAid mixer and it runs perfect.I know this grinder will give me the same satidsfaction.
