Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi KG40 Electric Coffee-Bean Grinder with Stainless-Steel Blade

Customer Review: Great for Coffee AND Spices...yes I said Spices...:)
Summary: 5 Stars

While this excellent grinder does a great job on coffee beans, many users now use coffee grinders to make fresh ground spices (without the high cost). Many coffee grinders struggle with coffee beans alone and simply fail (or die trying) to grind the harder spices.

Using durable stainless steel grinding blades (something that many grinders do not have), the KG40 grinds coffee beans, cinnamon, basil, rosemary, mustard seed, coriander, cumin, peppercorn, bay laurels, and many other spices. These are contained in a hopper that is covered by a lid with transparent sidings allowing you to see into it to the progress so your end result is exactly what you want.

The top of the lid incorporates the switch that activates the grinder. As a safety measure and to prevent the coffee grounds and spices from getting strewn all over your kitchen, the lid has to be properly closed before the switch can be pressed and held down to start grinding. When the grounds reach the desired consistency, simply stop pressing the switch.

The hopper is removable so you can pour out the ground spice instead of scooping it. A brush, which is stored inside the body of the KG40, is supplied for a quick clean. You will need to wash it thoroughly with soap and water though if, after grinding spices, you want to use it for coffee beans otherwise you will have coffee that tastes like the last thing you ground up! I highly recommend you get 2 units so you can always have a clean hopper and you have a backup main motor unit if you need it later on after the warranty expires.


Below is my comment on the 2 star review that is posted by another user.

Why in the world would you have to trash the item when you are 1 month into a 12 month warranty? Sounds a little fishy to me. Heck Amazon would have replaced it themselves had you asked. So the question here is why would be believe anything you say when it doesn't seem to follow logic. (For the record to my knowledge you can add to a feedback but NOT change the amount of stars given, so understand that "edit" part is a lie as well).

Description of DeLonghi KG40 Electric Coffee-Bean Grinder with Stainless-Steel Blade

The key to great tasting coffee is freshly ground beans, and you can have this delicious flavor every morning with the De'Longhi Coffee Grinder. Durable and long lasting stainless steel blades grind any bean to perfection. Simply press the button on top of the lid to grind, and remove your hand once your desired consistency is achieved. When grinding is complete, just remove the ground coffee container and pour directly into your coffee filter. It's that easy! Cleaning is also a breeze with the convenient integrated brush. No worries about safety either with this grinder, once pressure is removed from the lid the blades stop turning. Other highlights include self contained cord storage for clutter free countertops.
