This is my second one. We bought the original 7 years ago and it just recently stopped working. Hoped the one we had was still available and IT WAS, halleleuah!!! We love the convenience and preciseness of the grinder and clean-up is a charm. I even have an extra grounds bin and it is the same, for if it breaks. (the original one broke the "trigger pin"). Love this appliance as an addition to my many Cuisinart kitchen tools and more.

This being the third grinder purchased it seems safe to say I like it. It works reliably, it grinds consistently, and it's not exorbitantly priced. The only complaint is the build up of grounds in inaccessible areas (the reason for the demise of the previous grinders).

This coffee bean grinder is working well so far! I have used it twice and like the options it has for coarseness. Cleaning it is also quite easy. The confusing thing is that there seems to be strange math required to set the number of cups to grind for, which takes into account the amount of beans and the coarseness for the desired number of cups to brew, which would also take into account how strong one prefers their coffee. I have not bothered to figure this out, as it seems to correspond to the time the machine will run to grind the beans.

Time is finally come to purchase a coffee bean grinder to complement our recently purchased Cuisinart coffee center. Finally after many years of grinding coffee in store or warehouse locations. We can now have fresh coffee brewed daily. In addition, it sits beautifully next to our Cuisinart coffee center.

I love this coffee grinder overall. It’s loud, but it grinds to perfection all the various fine to coarse grounds. I can make espresso one morning, French roast the next, and pour-over the next. The only thing, and it’s NOT a big deal, is that the grounds get stuck to the sides of the container, so I have to wash it out every time I use it. No big deal since the various ground possibilities overweigh this detail.

This is way better than using a blender! With this coffee grinder, the beans go from the hopper down so the grind is more consistent. Plus the beans don’t get hot. Also you have a lot of options to set the consistency of the grind, from fine to medium fine to medium to medium coarse to coarse and a bunch of options in between those so you come out with the one you need. Also it has a switch to let you choose how many cups of coffee you want to make, like 4 cups to 18 cups. And make sure the grinder switch is in the off position when you turn the hopper or set the grind because the start button is right there and you might accidentally press it! Also this coffee grinder has automatic shut off when the grinder is done. So you just set the grind, set how many cups and then press start it automatically does everything then it shuts off when you have the correct amount of coffee! Best thing ever!

The reason I bought another Cuisinart to replace my old Cuisinart grinder was that I liked the quality. I am so very disappointed in the quality of this Cuisinart grinder. It is the second Cuisinart product that I bought where the quality was not what the old one was. (That product was a hand-held blender). I have learned my lesson. Don't by Cuisinart thinking you are buying quality.

This Cuisinart grinds your favorite beans to the ideal texture for your brewing method of choice and nothing beats the robust flavor that come from fresh ground beans. The only thing that would make this device better is if it had a stainless steel hopper or an ionizer to cut down on the static energy it generates.

I have always loved expresso ground coffee , and for the last 20 years I have tried several different grinders over the years made by different companies and the results were all the same ,when it came to grinding the beans on an espresso or Turkish setting, all the units stalled or jammed ,and needed teardown and cleaning with each batch of beans . However the Cusinart grinder is a very strong and efficient product! It walks thru a pound of oily beans on espresso grinder setting like it's competitors do on extra coarse. This is what I call an espresso lovers best friend.

This is the third one of these i have purchased. They work well but are pretty noisy. I tried another brand that was very quiet but did not do the job, so I went back to this one. They could improve the lever that sets how much you want to grind - I have to run it twice to get enough grounds to make my coffee. This one also seems to be slower to feed the beans into the grinder - mostly the reason i have to run it twice/
