Mark Shusted (quality: 2.1)	01.17.2006	Rating: 1.0
Bottom Line: Beans don't burn but motor does.

Mark Babbe (quality: 4.7)	04.05.2006	Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Not for Espresso. Could be nice for drip coffee.

Brian Pierce (quality: 3.5)	01.05.2004	Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: Avoid this machine

Jesse Robinson (quality: 4.3)	10.19.2004	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: Could have been a contender, but it's just some more junk.

Benson Tongue (quality: 6.3)	01.03.2004	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: Relatively expensive and unable to produce a fine grind.

B M (quality: 9.2)	07.17.2006	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: Good grinder for press or drip, but it falters trying to consistently grind for espresso. Make sure that you buy from a vendor with a good return policy.

Mike Wisniewski (quality: 5.3)	04.06.2007	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: Expensive Grinder for Drip and Press, not worth it for Espresso.

Pascal Diamond (quality: 4.1)	06.22.2005	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Great looks, pity it couldn't deliver on the grind.

Gino Magnotta (quality: 8.6)	05.14.2008	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Has some very good features to it, and could have been an excellent grinder. Has fundamental flaws however which lets it down badly.

Steve Pro (quality: 6.8)	10.11.2005	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Missed potential for a few dollars in parts

Tom Knight (quality: 4.9)	12.20.2004	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: I'm surprised that Kitchen Aid put out such a poorly designed and manufactured piece to represent their top of the line grinder.

Paul Hanley (quality: 6.0)	02.04.2006	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Potential unrealized. Maybe future revisions will fix the design flaws and poor quality control.

Randall Nortman (quality: 8.6)	04.28.2007	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: A heavy, solidly built piece of counter jewelry that does everything you'd want other than grind coffee well.

Patti Ratts (quality: 5.9)	03.05.2004	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Lovely machine, good value.

Ola Bovin (quality: 4.0)	11.12.2012	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Grinder could last a life time if the burrs, auger, bearing and adjustment had been made from higher quality and precision. Motor and the casing is heavy and strong. I like the way it looks.

RA Schuppe (quality: 6.8)	11.19.2003	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Too bad about some of this grinder's design flaws. KA says they're considering a revision. Hope they're listening.

Stefan L (quality: 6.0)	11.28.2012	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Heavy duty grinder that gives heavy duty results.

Joel Finkelstein (quality: 5.8)	11.16.2006	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Great grinder once you realize grinds only look too big. I only wish it didn't trap so many beans or was easy to clean on a daily basis.

Kent Simmons (quality: 7.3)	05.01.2007	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: A great machine IF you like your coffee French or if you like espresso - but its not capable of both grinds without recallibration.

Ted O (quality: 7.5)	02.18.2006	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Nice Appearance, Feel and Quality.. but Not Really Designed and Built for Espresso Enthusiasts
