Is a blade grinder good enough for daily coffee?

For drip, French press and percolator coffee, yes. The blade leaves a mix of fine and coarse particles, which matters less in those methods. For espresso or pour-over, a burr grinder gives more even results.

How do I control the grind size?

By time. Press the one-touch button and watch the beans through the clear lid, then stop when the grind looks right. There are no numbered settings, so repeat results take practice.

How much coffee can it grind at once?

KitchenAid rates it for up to 12 cups. The bowl markings help you measure beans, but filling it to the top for large batches can give a coarser, less even grind.

Can I grind spices or nuts in it?

Yes, the stainless steel blade handles spices, nuts and seeds. Grind coffee separately or clean the bowl well, since strong flavors carry over.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The removable parts are dishwasher safe. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth and never put it in water.

It is $44.95 at The Home Depot as of November 5, 2026, and only one store lists it new. Watch for KitchenAid sales around holidays, when small appliances often drop.

Our take on the KitchenAid Blade Coffee Grinder

The KitchenAid Blade Coffee Grinder is a one-touch electric grinder with a 160-watt motor and a stainless steel blade. It holds enough beans for up to 12 cups, and the bowl has measurement markings plus a clear lid so you can watch the grind and stop when it looks right. It has one speed, so grind size is set by timing, not by a dial. The best new price is $44.95 at The Home Depot as of November 5, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is little price competition to compare against.
