DeLonghi KG89 Burr Coffee Grinder

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.

1. 16 Grind Settings: A manual side dial selects sixteen distinct friction levels. Adjusts grounds for drip coffee or moka pots.
2. Dual Safe System: Automatic shut-off triggers when removing bean or ground containers. Stops the motor to prevent mechanical accidents.
3. Flat Burr Grinding: Two metal plates crush beans for uniform powder density. Avoids overheating to preserve the coffee aroma.
4. Stainless Steel Finish: Brushed metal plates form the outer casing of the unit. Resists humidity and heat in local kitchens.
5. Removable Upper Burr: Top grinding wheel detaches with a simple manual turn. Simplifies cleaning coffee oil without liquid detergents.
