Modify for best results.

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

Disgusted and disappointed

by Online Shopper , Jan. 6, 2008

Comments:
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.

Recommended: No

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.

Inconsistent grind

by pizzle , Dec. 19, 2007

Comments:
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 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

Disappointing Grinder

by dana , Mar. 14, 2007

Comments:
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

Pros: Attractive stainless steel casing; large capacity

Inexpensive burr grinder.

by Coffeelover , Nov. 12, 2006

Comments:
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.

Recommended: No

After struggling with my wife's blade grinder and making a mess, decided a coffee mill was in my near future. So I bought this Cuisinart, I've had good products from them in the past. Everything was okay until I used it in the morning and it woke my wife
