Overview
The De'Longhi KG89 is an affordable flat burr grinder with a compact footprint and simple operation. The 16 grind settings cover espresso through drip, and the compact design fits easily in small kitchens. While not a precision espresso grinder, it offers a meaningful upgrade from blade grinding and pairs adequately with entry-level De'Longhi espresso machines. An accessible entry point into burr grinding from a trusted Italian brand.
The De'Longhi KG89 features a 40mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1400 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 3.0g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $65, the De'Longhi KG89 is aimed at budget-conscious coffee lovers just starting their espresso journey. With a 120g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
