Technivorm did again. They took the concept of grinding coffee stripped off all the bells and whistles of modern appliances and focused on building a really really good coffee grinder. Beans in and press the button, it’s dead simple to use. The grind setting will accommodate drip coffee makers, french press and even percolators. Grinding for espresso machines isn’t a thing in the Technivorm universe though and if this is what you’re looking for then check out the Baratza and Breville grinders.
The KM5 is reasonably quiet. I say this because my previous coffee grinder was blade grinder that would wake up the entire house. The sound on the KM5 has a much lower pitch that doesn’t shatter nerves.
The grind quality is very consistent due to the flat steel burrs and the bean hopper holds enough beans to get me through a week of morning coffee. Build quality is excellent. The case is all metal and is surprisingly heavy coming in at 10 lbs. There’s a bit of a static issue with the grounds but this issue can be resolved with a couple of drops of water over the beans in the hopper. If you want to get fancy you can get a water mister and give the beans a quick spritz and stir and that will stop the static in its tracks. (This trick works most other grinders too.)
One one last thing I would comment on is the lack of color options. It would have been nice if Technivorm had the same color options as their coffee brewers. I have a Moccamaster KBGV that’s midnight blue and my grinder is the most unexciting shade of white. My OCD self will be grinding on this issue every time I enter the kitchen. But then again this is actually a good problem to have. I could be drinking out of a Keurig.

Works well. Simple. Quiet. And produces far less static than any other high-end grinder I’ve used (maybe a combo of the small container, tight lid, and what feels like a glass jar). But you may want to get a kitchen scale to compliment this grinder. I wanted to give this 5 stars, but it’s more like 4.45 stars for my needs.

I am loving the look, feel and build of the new Technivorm KM5 Burr Grinder. Goes aesthetically well with my Moccamaster coffee maker. This product is heavy duty and I know I will not have any issues. Any part is replaceable and customer service is amazing, I called them to send me extra rubber feet for the bottom and they shipped same day free of charge. Highly Recommended!

Very nice grinder, and it performs beautifully. It’s a bit faster than my Baratza Encore, and a bit quieter, too. My only complaint, and this is minor, is the on/off switch has to be held on while grinding. For the thirty seconds or so that I have to stand there, it’s really not a huge inconvenience. It looks great alongside my Moccamaster coffee brewer, too.

Technivorm knows coffee! Their attention to detail and quality in a no frills, but visually appealing package is top notch.
I’d been in the market for a quality burr grinder for quite some time. I tried another major manufacturer’s grinder, but was not happy with the coffee flavor, regardless of grind size. I finally decided to spring for the Moccamaster burr grinder, which compliments my Moccamaster coffee machine nicely. Aesthetically, it’s a perfect match and it grinds coffee well too.
The machine comes apart easily enough to clean out the hopper and burrs. The stepless adjustment for coarseness allows you to fine tune the grind size exactly how you prefer. The KM5 is relatively quiet and grinds coffee perfectly every time. While it’s not the quietest on the market, it’s quiet enough that you won’t wake up others while preparing your morning brew. It is far quieter than the old blade grinder previously used.
The biggest drawback is static generated during the grind process. However, the work around I have found that works best is not washing the glass grinds container after each use. I suppose the residual oils from previously ground coffee assists in limiting the cling. A gentle tap on the sides of the container over the coffee filter releases the few grinds clinging to the sides.
Love my Technivorm Moccamaster coffee set up! You don’t get automatic settings and timers with Technivorm products, but what you do get is a quality machine that does what it’s supposed to and does it well…for a long time.

Had many this is the best, compact quality one I’ve had. 4 stars not 5 as it is still makes noise you can hear in an early morning “wake up” home and there is still static around the glass holder where grinds gather and stick to the sides

Relatively quiet and makes a very even grind.

This is an excellent grinder for coffee from coarse to fine (but not espresso). Totally manual, which is how i like it, with a power switch that must be held in the ON position to grind. I don’t find this to be at all inconvenient. The grind is smooth and consistent, grind adjustment is smooth and easy, and the glass dispenser cup with silicone covers that seal against the grinder’s output spout keep grinds from flying about, for a neater kitchen. There is some static in the grounds, a bit more than I would have expected, but I find that waiting 5 minutes after grinding before opening the jar allows a lot of the charge to dissipate. Very highly recommended.
