Posted Mon Aug 9, 2004, 6:27pm Subject: KitchenAid Pro Line
Does anybody own/use the Kitchen Aid Pro Line? Specifically, I bought the Coffee Pot for $300, and am interested in the espresso machine for $800 and the grinder for $200. I mostly bought them for the quality of the product and the look. We had a KA blender, and these look a lot like they fit the KA blender, as opposed to their cheaper products or buying other products.
I would like to know if anyone has any feedback on these products. The coffee maker is really nice I think. Not only does it weigh about 30 lbs, but it has some nice features. I don't know enough about all the good quality coffee makers out there, but I think this one has a good burner/boiler (is that right), the front/top water filler area is nice, especially given the weight... if you had it under a cupboard it's a little hard to just slide it out to add water. Water filter, second burner and coffee pot with lo/high settings, and so forth. $300 is a bit tough to swallow, but I am a nut for good looking and quality kitchen applicances.
