Bosch MKM 6003 UC Coffee Grinder, Black

The Bosch brand's reputation for excellence dates back to 1886, when Robert Bosch founded Robert Bosch GmbH as a precision-tool and engineering workshop in Stuttgart, Germany. Today, Bosch makes a wide variety of tools, kitchen appliances, and more. The company's MKM 6000 coffee grinder is both powerful and lightweight, and will provide you with the great taste (and aroma) that only fresh-ground coffee brings to the table. It stands 6-3/4 inches high and features a 3-ounce capacity, stainless-steel blades, and an easy-to-use push-button operating system--just put the beans in, put the lid on, and push the button. The transparent lid lets you see the beans being ground, and the machine's slanted basket design makes the coffee swirl as it's being ground, so the end result is an even grind (which translates into better coffee). --A.J.

Customer Review: low profile blade = great for spices
I have had my Bosch grinder for over ten years. I cook frequently. I have also worked in the restaurant industry for over 25 years. (and most of the great kitchens I have worked in have a Bosch) The manufacturing precision, the angled grinding bed, etc all make for a great machine, but it is the low profile of the blade that makes this particular model ESSENTIAL for the home cook/chef. Look around the next time you are in Williams-Sonoma, or Target, and notice how far the blades of all other grinders sit from the grinding bed. The low profile blade means you can grind smaller batches of spices...e.g. cumin seed, or coriander seed, or fennel seed, esp. mustard seed are all very small seeds...so a low profile blade = smaller batches= less waste. Having ground spices sitting around just lets the flavor dissipate, which is why one wants a spice grinder in the first place. Buy the Bosch!
Customer Review: The best grinder I've ever had....But.
I used this guy for nearly a year and it performed flawlessly (I even had to use it to make powdered sugar out of regular sugar and it did it in seconds, seriously)...But the lid got dropped, from about waist level, it cracked..A month or so later it got dropped again and split in half.. I can deffinitely recommend this grinder of you're very careful and don't drop the lid...It's the only cheap thing about it.
