 wonderful grinder - not for coffee |

| This is a terrific spice grinder. It has a fully stainless and fully removeable and washable grinding bowl so you don't have to worry about flavors carrying over. It has plenty of room for even the spiciest curry, or the largest rub. I use a burr grinder for coffee to get the even grain size, so I'm not worried about that. |
Semi-Adequate

| This product should be better boasting the Cuisinart name! We love our Cuisinart Coffee Pot. This grinder was very disappointing because the grinds do not evenly grind. The top grounds will not be ground at all unless you remove the lid and stir constantly, while you are pulverizing the bottom. If it had two blades, another one like one inch higher then it would likely grind better. It is easy to clean up but the pain of stirring and then pulsing sort of takes away from this benefit! It does have a handy lid to store the grounds in. My husband likes his espresso ground fine but it is impossible with this grinder. |
Poor grinding experience

| This is the worst coffee grinder that I've ever used. I am very dissapointed with Cusinart. The beans do not grind evenly and does not grind fine. This grinder might be OK if you do not like your beans ground fine. If you are used to having your beans ground #5 for automatic cone drip, then this grinder is NOT for you. The only good thing I can say about this grinder is that it has an air tight storage for your ground beans. Pay a little more for the next model up and you will be much happier. |
Don't buy this one!

| With the Cuisinart name, this should be a good thing, right? Wrong! First, it's noisy. Second, it requires constant pressure on the button to grind the beans. Third, in order to get consistency in the grind, the whole machine needs to be shaken two or three times per fill to get all the beans ground. Don't try to fill the cup to the top, either. It is incapable of grinding that many at one time. Fine grind takes forever, too. This gets two stars because it does grind the beans, but after about five years of only once or twice weekly use, it suddenly developed a hot, electrical smell, and it is being replaced. |
Terrible coffee grinder - DO NOT BUY

| I'm really disappointed in this product, usually I am very impressed by the Cuisinart brand. Everything about this coffee grinder is wrong. The one thing a COFFEE GRINDER should do is grind coffee. No matter how long you grind, you always end up with different sized grounds - some fine, some huge bean chunks, none of them adequate to make coffee - it's awful! Also, the design of the product leads to huge messes all over the counter. Little grounds get stuck in the lid, so when you go to put the lid back on to grind again...they all fall out all over your counter. I have to wipe down my counter every time I grind coffee. We'll be returning this product, and buying something better. Save your money, buy a different one! |
