Great coffee starts with fresh-ground beans! I’ve had my eye on this product for awhile. I read good reviews of its positive & negative attributes. After finally making the purchase & using it for a few months now, overall I’d say the positive far outweighs any negatives. Mine works perfectly, with a whole range of grinding levels from very coarse—coarse—fine (w/many gradients of in between) and holds more than enough beans at once, which is another big plus over my classic Krups grinder. It also cleans up easily. The grinds can get a little “staticky” but this is a pretty minor point, nothing to worry about IMHO. After my own deliberations, I’m very happy with my purchase. I am amazed how much better my coffee tastes, whether French Press or Keurig w/reusable K-Cup, with fresh-ground beans. I’d definitely buy this again.

The styling is attractive, making a nice addition to a counter top. Easy to use and easy to clean are significant factors for me and this unit meets those easily. I really like the ease of adjusting the coarseness of the grind. This is a highly recommended purchase.

I replaced two other grinders that cost less but did not last very long with the Cuisinart grinder. I have been very pleased with the quality and operation of this grinder thus far. It is relatively easy to use and clean and appears to be of superior durability.

This is such a nice grinder! I really like that it has so many settings. It has a large 18 cup reservoir. I was surprised by how little static is produced when grinding. I had a different grinder before this and the static drove me crazy. It's pretty easy to clean. I suggest not submerging the hopper though as water can get in places that it shouldn't be. The grinder is well built and I have been using it almost a year. I love it!

The coarse grind has a lot of fine, powdery grinds mixed in and stuck to the tops and sides of the container, creating a lot of waste. Coffee grinds spit out of the sides, creating a mess, with each use even though the container is firmly seated. I returned the unit.

After reading reviews I ordered this coffee grinder when my old one quit . What I really love about this one is the way the receptacle receiving the grounds ,stays in place without me holding it ,so coffee goes into it ,not behind it... It's about as loud as my other one, but I don't mind that , what matters to me is that it works well ,holds plenty of beans, and the grind settings are easy to choose. I love to grind my coffee fresh, and this works fine for me.

This was an upgrade from my previous blade grinder, also a Cuisinart. This unit is much more flexible in terms of coffee grind size, and produces a good, uniform grind whatever size is selected. It's easy to clean, doesn't take up a great deal of counter space, and does a good job for a reasonable price. My only complaint about this unit so far, and the reason I docked at 1 star, is that it is extremely loud. I live in an apartment, and frequently have to grind coffee early in the morning. I'm always afraid that I'm going to be disturbing The Neighbors. I seriously have a vacuum cleaner that makes less noise than this thing does! I don't know if it's possible to add additional noise shielding or modify the motor somewhat so it's not quite so noisy oh, but I would recommend looking into it.

The Cuisinart Supreme Grind is the perfect compliment for our new Cuisinart DDC-344 Stainless Steel Thermal Coffeemaker. Cuisinart’s DBM-8’s grind settings range from “extra-coarse” all the way down to “fine” as in an espresso “type” of grind, and a total of 18 settings. If you are a coffee aficionado you will enjoy your brew with fresh ground beans from Cuisinart’s DBM-8.

Even when set on coarse it does not grind very coarse. The bin is difficult to get ground coffee out of and is a pain to clean. It would be nice if it had a pour spout on it to easily dump out the ground coffee. I wish it had an option to grind 2 cups. I use a 4 cup percolator and the coffee it grinds for 4 cups is way too much.

The hooper is larger, the chute wider allowing beens to fall into the burr grinder. Before, I had to constantly shake my old grinder to ensure smooth flow of beans to the burr. No, just load the double capacity hopper and walk away. Effectively grinds coffee beans hands free operation. No prior grinders had this larger and smoother bean-shoot design. This device is the best outside of large commercial store varieties and very competitively priced. A pleasure to use and easier to keep clean.
