Proctor Silex 80402 12-cup blade coffee grinder black

12-cup blade grinder for daily brewing

The Proctor Silex 80402 is a blade coffee grinder finished in black that grinds enough beans for up to 12 cups per batch. Its Sound Shield design reduces operating noise by 50 percent compared with other blade grinders from the same brand family. The compact footprint suits countertops where space is limited. Simple controls make it straightforward for anyone preparing a quick cup or a full pot.

Check power supply and bean volume

Verify that a standard mains outlet is available near the intended location because the unit draws power directly from the wall. Ensure the 12-cup capacity matches your typical brewing volume; smaller households may find a single fill more than they need. The removable grinding bowl is dishwasher safe, so confirm your dishwasher can accommodate a 4.50-inch wide component. No special plumbing or water connection is required.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

During a typical grind cycle the motor runs for only the few seconds needed to process a full batch, so heat build-up in the housing remains minimal. The Sound Shield enclosure keeps the acoustic output noticeably lower than conventional blade models, allowing early-morning use without disturbing others. Power draw is limited to the short grinding interval, keeping overall energy use low. The unit stores its cord internally, reducing countertop clutter when not in use.
