Cuisinart DBM8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Coffee Grinder - Grinding coffee beans just prior to brewing coffee delivers the optimal level of natural oils and flavonoids. The result is a fresh, delicious, complex-tasting cup of coffee that is pleasurable and satisfying. So forget about store ground coffee if you want to get the most flavor from the coffee bean. Grind those beans yourself just before you make your coffee. You'll appreciate the difference. Heavy duty motor 18-Month limited Cuisinart warranty

Nice grind - Colossal mess

Yes, this grinder conveniently stores beans in the hopper, has a huge number of grind settings, and makes great coffee. But even if you get over how loud it is, the plastic grind bin is the worst product design I've ever seen. The plastic gets a static charge which make grounds (I grind "medium") cling to it. I defy you to dump the grounds into a coffee pot without making a colossal mess. I've had 5 different people try it (to make sure it wasn't just me) but there are grounds on the counter, the floor, and all over the coffee pot itself. How could this have gotten thru product testing?!

Disapointed

I'm a huge fan of coffee and this burr grinder is what I bought to make myself great coffee at home... and I'm giving it two stars rather than one only because it did help me make fairly good coffee for a few months. However, there were various design and function flaws that I encountered...

1. (I use a french press, so I need my coffee coarsely ground) Every time I used this grinder there would be extremely fine power that would build up around the edges and often times it would mix in with the grounds. As a result of this my cup of coffee almost always contained a significant amount on unwanted grinds.

2. This grinder actually broke on me after only a few months of use. I very well could of been at fault for this, but I prefer to blame Cuisinart. Well, the whole top of the machine shirred off from it's lower half. I really don't even know how this happened, but it rendered my grinder useless.

I will admit that Cuisinart has made some pretty great culinary products that function very well, but this is not one of them. The lesson that I've learned here is that if you're really into coffee and are looking for a grinder... then look at brand names and manufacturers that specialize in or are exclusive with coffee related products. I'm still currently on the search for a new grinder, so I can't recommend any other product. But I am confident in saying that this particular burr grinder is not worth your money or time.
