We have owned a Cuisinart burr-type coffee grinder for years and have been very happy with it. This time, we decided to upgrade to this newer version. WOW! This one is so much easier and efficient to use. Love the ground coffee container the grinds dispense into. Also love the various levels of grind and how easy Cuisinart has made it to understand what type of grind you need for the type of coffee you are planning to brew. The overall grinding process is faster and cleaner.
This is the best coffee grinder I have ever used. Very easy to use with little clean up. My family drinks tons of coffee and likes it strong. I use dark roast coffee beans and use the grinder constantly. It seems to be built of strong quality like all my Cuisinart products. I use to hate cleaning up the mess after grinding beans with my old grinder that died but not with my new Cuisinart Grinder. I am very happy with my purchase.
Easy to clean, the range of settings for grinding is excellent. Works efficiently. A bit noisy; but that is expected for grinding beans. Quality product.
Just received the unit. Unpacked it, followed directions setting it up, put 1/4 pound of beans in, plugged it in, and the blue light came on. Set the grind and the number of cups, and pressed the start. Guess what? NOTHING HAPPENED. At this point, it is nothing more than a paper weight and ugly one at that.

Thank you for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear the unit did not operate as expected right out of the box. For initial setup, please ensure the lid and grind chamber are properly locked into place, as the safety interlock will prevent the grinder from starting if components are not fully seated. Our Consumer Assistance Center would be happy to help troubleshoot or arrange support at 1-800-726-0190. Please reference Ticket #8900519662 when you call so we can assist you promptly.
Purchased this mid price grinder for occasional grinding of whole bean coffee. Easy to use with virtually no mess of grounds. Quickly and efficiently ground whole beans that had been gifted to us! And it was super easy to clean the canister and the grinder after use.
Got this grinder so I can make espresso at home. needed a burr grinder so thought this was gonna be perfect, but it does not grind fine enough for espresso. kind of disappointed because it advertises as espresso grinder, but doesn’t grind find enough.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear that the grinder did not meet your espresso expectations. For the best results, many customers find using the finest burr setting and grinding smaller amounts at a time helps achieve a finer consistency suitable for espresso.
