Technivorm has designed a grinder as a companion to their drip coffeemakers. The KM4 tabletop is intended solely for drip grinding; it can be used with any brand of drip brewer, but was especially conceived as a mate for the Technivorm line. It has the same cylindrical design as their CDT Thermal brewer, and, the hopper is finished in brushed aluminum that will match with Technivorm's entire line.

This is a very different, somewhat quirky, grinding system and it is difficult to compare it with other common grinding technologies. It's easier to say what is not, as it is neither a traditional blade grinder with blade at the bottom of a bowl nor is it a burr grinder. Instead, it is what Technivorm refers to as a "unique aerodynamic grinding system with turbo grinder"; it is an upside-down blade system where beans are blown through the spinning blade and grounds are forced through a screen before winding up in the grounds collection chamber. This keeps the coffee away from the heat of the blades, a flaw in standard blade grinders which trap coffee beneath the blades.

Remember, this grinder is intended to grind for drip and drip only! The grind setting cannot be adjusted for other brew methods, but it will produce a consistently sized, cool grind for drip, time after time.
