The best coffee grinder I've owned.  No need to shake and don't understand why people would.  If you have to shake your coffee grinder to get results, new flash, time to get a quality coffee grinder.  This is it!  I've read reviews where people get grinds under the removable cup?  I'm not sure how this is even possible.  It's a simple operation.  Filled with whole beans to your desired level, put on the cap, press and grind.  The longer you hold, the finer the grind.  For stronger brews, don't grind for very long.  Count to 15 and done!  Here are some tips for those who have had trouble:

1.  Do not overfill - This will cause grinds to everywhere (as with every coffee grinder).

2.  Stronger brew flavor = not grinding to a powered finish

3.  No Shaking - It's a coffee grinder not a mixer.

4.  Enjoy! - You have a  KitchenAid product which consistently puts out quality products with a warranty and service you can't beat.

The best coffee grinder I've ever had!  Love the removable stainless steel basket.  Never get messy grounds on the counter as with other grinders without removable basket.  The brush is an added bonus for getting every bit of finely ground espresso.  I'm amazed at the quality at such a low price point.

This is the best grinder I have ever owned.  It is not as messy as other brands and is easily adjusted to your preferred grind.

A grinder is a grinder right? I thought that until I got this one! What I love best is not only does the lid hold lots of ground coffee but the inner metal container that has the blades are removable too!. I don't have to turn the whole grinder  upside down to clean out the coffee dust! That alone is a great feature. I was also pleasantly surprised to have received a brush to clean the grinder with. Get this grinder people, you sill not be disappointed.

Excellent quality with a deep bottom! This is the only grinder you'll ever need!

This is a stellar grinder.  You should not hesitate to purchase it.  See below for a more detailed review.

I purchased this after I dropped my other grinder's lid and the metal bent ever-so-slightly, causing it to squeak when I used it (annoying).  After looking around, there are many quality grinders out there, some double, triple or more the cost of this one, but there's no need to look elsewhere.

Aesthetically, the black finish is not too shiny, but not matte either.  It's appealing and it doesn't stand out as much as a silver/metal colored grinder (which can be a nice plus).  The size was larger than my previous grinder, but I actually like it better.  It has a nice heft to it and is basically silent while in use.  It grinds up herbs as well as I've seen any grinder do.  The finished product is uniform in consistency and any impurities which may have been in you herb are easily seen and discarded.

There's a pollen catcher at the bottom, which would take a LOT of herb to fill - have fun trying!  The grinder is made of a very sturdy feeling metal, again with some heft, but not too heavy.  After several weeks of use, I can confidently say this is the best of many grinder's I've tried.  By all means, give it a shot and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is the best grinder I've ever purchased. It produces nice fine grains unlike other products where the lowest grind setting results in big size chunks. The grinding mechanisms are strong and foolproof. I bought the copper finish and it is gorgeous with my kitchen decor and table. Easy to fill and comes loaded with salt and pepper too! Worth every penny. Acrylic body and easy to clean.

I love this grinder so much, I had to purchase it again. The first Chromium Crusher I bought was perfect, unfortunately for me, the police took it from me, along with several other prized possessions. I was afraid that I would receive a less than perfect Chromium Crusher the second time I ordered one because of the reviews of many people saying that they got faulty grinders from a specific merchant who was selling these Chromium Crushers. The second one I got did have a small chip on it, but it does not concern me at all and has yet to become a problem. I've owned this new Chromium Crusher for 4 months now and I can't imagine life without it. Unlike other grinders that I've used, this one grinds my herb down to the perfect consistency for smoking due to the size of the holes in the grinder. The diamond shape teeth are much more efficient than those crappy triangle shaped teeth on cheaper grinder you find at gas stations and such.

Best Grinder money can buy. Seriously. I've used it HEAVILY for many months with no real wear on it. It sifts kief amazingly. the kief catch is great quality, kief can't stick to the bottom. the individual pieces being magnetic is amazing, I hate unscrewing the metal ones, they get squeaky after a while and it bugs the crap out of me. Not this style. Easily busts through stems n all. Stuff it full no problem. And best of all, NO METAL FRAGMENTS! WOO! I was worried it would open up easily and I'd spill my herb everywhere but I carry it all over and I've so far never had it pop open on me accidentally. Hype this grinder everywhere I go.

UPDATE: Just about half a year has gone by since my initial review. The grinder is still performing flawlessly, none of the wooden spikes have broken off. I've put ounces of herb through this thing by now, still functions the same as day one. The screen hasn't gotten clogged, nothing broken, and I do use it heavily, take it everywhere. Though when I travel I put a rubber band around it, not because I'm worried about it opening by itself, its actually never done that to me, even when dropped, But I've often opened it upside down and dumped herb and pollen everywhere so the rubber band forces me to stop and focus for a second before mindlessly opening it while baked.

If you pack it totally full to grind, everything won't fall through. I just keep grinding till its how I want, then quickly dump out whats left in the teeth. Comes out quick, nothing really sticks to the wood with a quick tap of the two halves together it all falls into the lower chamber.

Why are more companies not making all wood boxes? I feared it was because the teeth would break easy, but they don't at all. stems and all they eat through it without dumping aluminum flakes into your herb. Hopefully we will see more and more innovation in this area because I'd love to see a 2 pc grinder with wood teeth, not just the 4pc from Ryot.

Leaking: if you pack the top chamber full to grind, you might get leakage. I think a lot of it is down to user error though, Don't go crazy and when grinding/shaking hold all 4 bits together firmly to stop much of the leakage. I'm only talking small particles and pollen get through occasionally but I have absolutely never felt I've wasted anything, or it causes a mess. This one small issue pales in comparison to the many pros this grinder has and with a bit of thought you can easily beat most of the issue with leakage of fine ground material. I feel the leakage happens on metal grinders too though, Just the stuff gets all caught in the tread of the parts where they screw together, making it harder and harder to open till you clean it, This one functions just fine with that bit of spillage there, no screwing. Just herb joy.
METAL BE GONE!

The reviewer who said "This is the one you want" had it right!  I couldn't have asked for more with this grinder. It's quiet, allows you to select from 1-12 cups of coffee, and has a grind dial with 18 fine/courseness settings. Looking at the result of several grinds, it appears that they are consistent with a large difference between the fine and course grind settings.  (Most of my tests have been with some of the finer grinds -- I like stronger, more flavorful coffee. Also, note that although the dial has grind settings from 1 to 19, the dial on mine will only turn to 18.)

As far as I know, there is no other grinder with such a variety of courseness settings at this price. It's absolutely amazing.  If you've only used a blade grinder, you don't know what you're missing.  If I had known that a burr grinder could make this big of a difference in the taste of a cup of coffee, I wouldn't have wasted my money on cheap blade grinders.

My only complaint is that the grinder has a plastic cup for the ground coffee rather than a glass receptacle.  If I could have found a similar grinder with a glass cup I would have purchased it instead.  Coffee sticks to the sides of plastic cups when ground.  (This happens with all plastic grinders.)  My former blade grinder had a metal cup for the coffee; that was much better, but it leaked coffee out of the bottom near the blade attachment. The plastic cup is only a minor annoyance; so, I rated the grinder 5 stars.

They say that you get what you pay for.  With this La Pavoni grinder, you may be getting a bit more than you pay for!  I honestly didn't expect a coffee grinder under $50 to be this good.

Amazing grinder- I've always wanted a heavy duty grinder, and after some research on similar products, I settled on this Chromium Crusher. I've owned several other grinders in the past, all being of inferior brands and quality. This grinder hands down grinds the smoothest, it's fast, and requires minimal arm effort put forth. Is simply high quality- the grinder weighs heavy in your hands as well. A+, highly recommended.

I absolutely love this grinder. I've only used it for coffee beans so far but I can tell it would be great for other herbs/spices too. It's very powerful, I only have to grind for 10 seconds maximum to grind my coffee beans. It's design is very nice as well, the only complaint I have is that when you pull off the top lid, grounds fall outside of the grinder onto the counter or wherever, but I easily fixed this by opening it over the coffee filter so they fall in there instead. Love this grinder. Way better than the one I used before and you can't beat it for only $15.
