Ok,
So....I love good quality coffee. Yes, I may only drink one cup per day (maybe less) and maybe two on a Sunday, but I also appreciate good design and hate the idea of paying 5X (as in buying a cheaper item 5 different times and not paying more up front and being happy) for a cheaper product since it will not withstand normal use. I can speak from experience. We have one of those cheap Krups FastTouch Grinders that make a nice dusting along with inconsistent grounds. Static electricity also makes emptying those grinders pretty fun. For $20, you cannot expect much, but for almost 3 yrs, I can say it was time for an upgrade.
This new product weighs 10lbs. It's a dense beast! I found it a home on the countertop and I plan to try it out sometime this week. I hope it lasts more than 5yrs since I do baby my purchases. Even my treadmill gets a cautious eye here and there and I have put some miles on that badboy for the last year; it's still "runs" like a champ (pun intended)...Anyway, I had been researching the new purchase of a good quality coffee grinder since we buy whole beans 90% of the time since it is more economical and the roast maintains its freshness much better just before brewing. There is nothing quite like the scent of a freshly ground whole bean of good, quality coffee. Again, I drink coffee for the taste, not for the psychosomatic response so many addicts depend on... :p Thank God that Libera is not a coffee addict either. Although she has not had coffee for several months for obvious reasons.. :) Back to this Grinder. I have been lurking around various coffee forums for some time. Dropping questions so that I don't blindly purchase something and kick myself in the aftermath....Well, I decided to go with the KitchenAid Pro Line Grinder. I had seen it for the last two years, but this thing was like $300!! Are you crazy?! I certainly did not pay that much....I got a great deal on it though. I actually ordered at the end of January, but it was on backorder. It came in today. For saving cash, I would have waited several more months, but it came in and I cannot wait to try this thing out. I will keep you posted....

Wow! Daaaaamn, opening a coffee shop in Sterling Heights or what? :P
Looks pretty good though. How much was it?
I agree with you about buying coffee in bean form - for the taste (it's not really any cheaper).
Enjoy it - maybe next time I come over I'll enjoy it too :)
That monster looks like it can grind rocks. Try it...then tell me how it went.
ha...do you want me to put you out of business or something? :p
BTW, I hope you've consumed those banans by now cause they don't look in a very good shape.
First of all my Socialist friend, those are NOT the "bananas" you eat or even understand...they are the staple of the PuertoRican diet...aka platanos.

Learn and accept my reality! :p
first of all, how exactly did I become socialist?
Second, I never claimed to be an expert on Caribbean fruits or vegetables. From that photo, they look like bananas to me.
Technically, they are bananas.

d,
i hear you, but you know would it would be like to eat them raw...hence, my reason for saying that...family-wise, you are correct, but taste-wise, HOLY STARCHY BATMAN!!! :p
shqipo,

How can I prove what otherwise?! Like I said, I'm not an expert at all - ask me about Mediterranean food :D
