Kitchen Aid Coffee Mill Model A-9

When it comes to grinders be sure and buy a Burr Mill style. The reason is the less expensive blade grinders actually heat the coffee when you grind it, stealing some of the flavor before you even brew. The Kitchen Aid Coffee Mill Model A-9 was styled by visionary designer Egmont Arens in 193. This retro-style, classic burr mill coffee grinder is considered the world's first electric coffee grinder created for in-home use. Sixteen selectable grinds accommodate every brewing process from espresso to French Press. Available in six colors. ($99.99; www.kitchenaid.com)
