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


Durable and long lasting stainless steel grinding blades.

Easy access to ground coffee with removable, transparent ground coffee container.

Quick cleaning with conveniently intregrated brush.

Simple to use with one-touch push button control. Remove hand when desired consistency is achieved.

Safe operation with automatic system that stops blades when pressure is removed from the lid. This ensures lid cannot be removed while blades are still turning.

Equipped with a durable stainless-steel blade, this electric grinder quickly and easily prepares whole coffee beans for brewing. To use, simply add beans, replace the lid, and press down on the button in the center of the lid, conveniently labeled "push", to start grinding. Hold the button down until finished grinding, then release. For peace of mind, its safety system automatically stops the blades when there's no pressure to the lid, ensuring the blades will never spin with the lid removed. The unit can hold up to 3 ounces of ground coffee at a time, and its removable ground-coffee container makes it easy to transport coffee from the grinder to a coffeemaker or espresso machine. A cleaning brush, which stores conveniently on the grinder, comes included for quick clean-up. Sleek and efficient, the grinder measures 5 by 4-2/7 by 9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.



This review is from: DeLonghi KG40 Electric Coffee-Bean Grinder with Stainless-Steel BladeWhile 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)....

This review is from: DeLonghi KG40 Electric Coffee-Bean Grinder with Stainless-Steel BladeAnyone who is a serious coffee lover grinds their own coffee. What first attracted me to this grinder was the brand. I currently have a DeLonghi coffee make and just adore it. This is my first time using one of their grinders, I'm very please. It's nice and small and can be easily placed in the cupboard. Although I don't leave it out on the counter I do appreciate the overall appearance of this grinder. The black and clear with a hint of stainless feel sleek and modern alone with the overall shape. Like most coffee grinders the blades are stainless steel and seem very durable. I feel very safe leaving on my counter with the safety lock feature. My little tot is getting to the age of climbing on the counter so that is always a concern of mine. I think the amount of coffee it holds works well. In my experience the grinders that can hold more do not seem to handle grinding that much. I love the pop out container and included brush. The price was exactly what I was wanting to pay for a new grinder. Overall I've been very pleased with this grinder, much better than my old Krups grinder. I prefer finely grinded coffee and it does the job great. I would highly recommend this to any coffee lover. I have not used it for spices yet but that is a great idea and I will defiantly be trying that. I'm thinking this might...
