Out of the Blue

A follow-up for my fellow coffee lovers after a long-ago discussion of coffee grinders. I recently found a new grinder that seems to fit my requirements, which is simply a burr unit that won't require constant shaking and banging to keep the beans flowing to their ultimate destiny. This KitchenAid Coffee Grinder fills these seemingly simple needs in a stylin' form. I've only been using this cast-iron and glass contraption for a short time, but its solid construction is clearly built for the long haul, and the only complaint I have about its operation is a bit of scattered grounds in the area when it's done. We even found it on sale in a Williams-Sonoma outlet, though they didn't have the spiffy blue, so we settled for kitchen white. Anyway, I've put the blade grinder away for emergencies, and it's good to get out of the same old grind.
