The DeLonghi KG89 processes up to 120g of beans using flat burrs with 16 selectable textures. A 110W motor drives the mechanism to fill the 150g ground container. Selecting between 2 and 12 cups determines the specific output volume. Upgrading from the plastic KG79, this model uses a stainless steel exterior for increased durability.
