THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The KG79 family has a documented household batch workflow with flat stainless-steel burrs, 16 levels and a one-to-12-cup selector on De'Longhi's UK SKU page. That page lists a 120 g bean hopper and a separate removable 150 g grounds container. The shared manual calls the cup ratio approximate and gives broad brew guidance rather than measured performance. Electrical ratings vary across reviewed regional documents, so none is assigned to historical US ASIN B002LVUHWC. The ASIN's exact version, voltage, wattage and current Amazon offer remain unresolved.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The UK maker page documents flat stainless-steel burrs and 16 numbered grind levels.
  • Bean and grounds capacities are stated separately for the identified UK SKU.
  • The shared manual explains approximate cup guidance, cleaning and a rest interval.

What to weigh up

  • Electrical ratings differ among regional documents and are not mapped to row 291.
  • A cup selector is not an integrated scale or calibrated gram target.
  • The historical ASIN and current offer are not independently mapped to a particular version.

What the features mean for you

Treat the family and the historical row separately

De'Longhi's UK page identifies a KG79 grinder under SKU 0177111075, and the shared KG79/89 manual confirms the family name. A secondary ASIN-indexed record associates row 291 with KG79, but it does not establish that the US historical ASIN uses the UK SKU's electrical configuration or revision. The saved US support page identifies the model and offers documents, although its linked files could not be retrieved in that check. This is enough to review the model family while keeping the candidate's exact regional unit unresolved. A tagged model search may locate listings, but it is not proof of a current offer.

Adjustment is documented; brew results are not

The UK maker page lists flat stainless-steel burrs and 16 grind levels. The shared manual supplies coarse, medium and fine starting suggestions for several brewing styles, including moka and espresso-machine use. Those instructions describe the manufacturer's intended range; they do not test particle distribution, espresso extraction or cup quality. The manual's upper burr is removable for cleaning, which gives the owner a defined maintenance step. Buyers who need stepless adjustment, a measured espresso result or a particular grind uniformity should not infer those capabilities from the presence of a fine setting or the maker's chart.

Cup guidance is not a weight dose

The selector covers one to 12 cups, but the manual describes its ratio as approximate. It is a batch guide, not a gram scale, and the saved sources do not show a weight target or dose accuracy. That distinction matters to recipe repeatability: cup labels can vary by brewer and the amount delivered is not documented as a fixed mass. A buyer who requires weighed doses should plan to weigh coffee separately and should not treat the KG79 selector as satisfying that requirement. The manual also describes an automatic stop at the selected amount; that does not turn the volume guide into weight dosing.

Keep capacities and operating instructions distinct

For UK SKU 0177111075, De'Longhi lists 120 g for beans and 150 g for the grounds container; these figures describe different parts and should not be swapped. The same page lists 170 W and 1.5 kg net weight, while the shared manual lists 150 W and the Philippines page lists 110 W. The Philippines page also describes a container-removal interlock, which remains market-specific. The manual advises a five-minute rest after grinding 12 cups. These facts help frame a home batch routine but do not establish the rating or daily service capacity of row 291's unidentified historical unit.

Who should compare the KG79

The KG79 family may suit a household buyer who prefers a numbered control, separate bean and grounds containers, and maker guidance for several brew methods. It is a weaker fit when the decision depends on electrical compatibility, exact hopper dimensions, weight dosing or measured espresso performance. The published 130 by 160 by 260 dimensions have no stated units in the UK page and cannot be used as a footprint threshold. Check the unit label, included containers and manual for the exact listing. The review follows product documentation and a secondary historical model clue; it is not a hands-on test or a statement that Amazon currently sells this exact variant.

Before you buy

How many grind levels does the UK KG79 page list?

It lists 16 levels; the historical row's exact regional unit is not confirmed as that SKU.

How much do the containers hold?

The UK page lists 120 g for beans and a separate 150 g removable grounds container.

Does the cup selector weigh coffee?

No. The manual calls its one-to-12-cup ratio approximate and documents no gram scale.

Which voltage and wattage apply to row 291?

The regional sources differ, and the historical ASIN is not mapped to one version.

Is espresso performance independently tested?

No. The manual's espresso setting is maker guidance, not a measured result.

Is B002LVUHWC a current offer?

No current exact Amazon offer was independently verified in the saved source check.

Where can I check the current price?

Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision

The KG79 family has a documented household batch workflow with flat stainless-steel burrs, 16 levels and a one-to-12-cup selector on De'Longhi's UK SKU page. That page lists a 120 g bean hopper and a separate removable 150 g grounds container. The shared manual calls the cup ratio approximate and gives broad brew guidance rather than measured performance. Electrical ratings vary across reviewed regional documents, so none is assigned to historical US ASIN B002LVUHWC. The ASIN's exact version, voltage, wattage and current Amazon offer remain unresolved.
