Clogs easily - proper cleaning tools not included

The grinder works well, but if you use a bean that’s oily, or if you want a very fine grind, you will find that this grinder comes to a “grinding halt”. This occurs every time I use this grinder, and it requires me to clean the machine from the shoot where the ground coffee drops, up toward the grinding mechanism. So here’s how to do it - take something like a pick that comes with a nut cracker and work your way up the shoot to release the clogged grounds. Then you will need a 3/4 pipe brush to thoroughly clean the poorly designed shoot (coffee has to flow in a curve from the grinder to the shoot) until you can see the brush come through the permanent grinder (you need to take the grinder apart as you normally would for routine cleaning). The pipe brush is the only way I have found to get the grinder unclogged and back in use. The nut pick just clears a path for the brush to get into the shoot. Sadly, it takes more time to clean the machine than it does to grind the coffee I desire. Other than that, it’s great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beans don’t flow into the grinder without encouragement, I.e., slap the side during grinding or you will wind up grinding air. Other than that it’s great.

I received this grinder a couple of weeks ago and, so far, it has done a good job of grinding me fresh coffee. After a few test batches, I was able to get the grind/volume dialed in and that has been great. It is also much quieter than I expected. Two areas of improvement are that the hopper is not very large. I can only fit about 1/2 Lb of beans in at a time. I have also noticed that the hopper can get clogged sometimes, so you have to keep an eye on it as it grinds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros:
1. It doesn't overheat and shut down, or need "rest periods."
2. It's fast.
3. It does a truly very good job of grinding beans to fine powder.
4. It's easy to clean.

Cons:
1. You can't walk away from it for a minute, because every 15 seconds or so it just stops pulling beans into the grinding chamber. I stand at the unit and swirl the beans around nonstop to keep the unit functioning. Makes it mighty hard to get anything else done.
2. It's jet-engine loud, which is bad on its own but all the worse since you have to stand over the unit and continually feed beans into the grinding chamber.
3. While I don't know whether the number selection for grind size (coarse, fine, etc.) is beneficial or accurate, the selection for number of cups has no effect at all.

Grinds perfectly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coffee just tastes better when the coffee beans are freshly ground. Cuisinart Espresso & Coffee Conical Burr grinder allows you to ground your coffee beans right in your own kitchen. This grinder has 35 different grind settings to allow you to grind from extra fine to coarse. Grind just enough for a cup of coffee or grind enough to fill the canister which is seals to hold in the freshness. Excellent product from Cusinart and a great asset to my coffee station.
