Discouraged after attempting to get a fine enough grind for a 25 sec shot of espresso, I took apart the machine, bypassed all the safety switches, and cut out the small stop so I could zero (bottom out the two blades until they touch) out the blades, and

Pros: inexpensive entry-level burr grinder. Indexed grind times

I received this coffee grinder as a Christmas present. It worked well at first and then died with no notice after two weeks. Returning to the manufacturer, and paying shipping both ways is a nuisance. More hassle than it is worth.

QuickTake:

Pros: nice stainless steel appearance, easy to use, easy to clean
Cons: broke down after only two weeks. No power to the grinder.

Received this as a Christmas gift and used it primarily on drip and French press settings, mid-range and coarse, respectively. Week after Christmas, one year later, it rolled over and died. The lifetime of an appliance should be longer than this for th

It must be that the finer you grind, the shorter the life of the motor. It is not worth the shipping costs.

Pros: Gound good while it lasted
Cons: Sent it back under warrantee 3 separate times.

I purchased this grinder for use with my Gaggia espresso machine not realizing it would not grind the coffee fine enough to use in the machine. I am able to grind much finer with a blade grinder, but that defeats the purpose of my purchase. So keep in m

I've used this grinder quite a bit both at home and at work, and take my coffee grinds very seriously. <br> <br>It's a good product for the price but does not produce enough consistency or fine enough grind for high-end Espresso machines. It works fin

I am on my FOURTH Cuisinart burr mill. The last one was just replaced by the company less than 2 months ago. The quality is not there. Very cheaply made. If you buy one, don't count on it lasting more than 3 to 4 months. For the price, I do not reco

Pros: when it works, grinds great
Cons: wont last more than 6 months

I was so excited to finally buy a burr grinder, having heard how great they are. My regular Krups blade grinder <br>worked fine but only holds a small amount of beans at one time. So, when this burr grinder went on sale AND I <br>had an additional

QuickTake:

Pros: Attractive stainless steel casing; large capacity
Cons: uneven grind; messy cleaning!

Purchased based on good experience with several other Cuisinart appliances. This grinder is easy to load and holds about 1/2 pound of beans. Grind selection is simple and involves rotating bean hopper to desired grind. Plastic output bin must be in place

QuickTake:

Pros: Stylish, compact, large hopper, removable bin.
Cons: Cannot be serviced.
