It is an excellent device. It requires minimal cleaning and does not make the mess that my old blade grinder did. It is expensive for a single use device; however, I would temper the price with the coffee spend each year. Your coffee spend is likely way more than the $160 price tag of the burr grinder. My spend for coffee at home per year is in the $500 range &#8212; easy. If you are effected by this recall, go get a real burr grinder. The replacement may make a nice gift.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001F263XA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=12sidedcom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001F263XA\">KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Grinder KPCG100 @ Amazon<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=12sidedcom-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001F263XA\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I caught wind of this story last night: Starbucks recalling 530,000 coffee grinders.
