   I had had a Cuisinart burr coffee grinder which I liked. It was the $99 model. No doubt due to designed obsolescence, it stopped working and I got this one, thinking more expensive might make a good one even better. This coffee grinder is remarkably loud and you are certainly not going to run it while your partner is watching football. But the most objectionable thing is how messy it is. There is static in the grinds and they end up everywhere, on the counter and under the ridiculous, cheesy hopper. In addition, the opening through which the grinds drop gets clogged and it’s hard to clean and not make the aforesaid mess. I’m not sure why using this appliance should use up what little patience I have and honestly, I think I might get rid of it and try a different brand

   Nothing to complain about so far.
   Out of the box, wiped it off, and gave it a try. And it worked fine.
   I didn’t scrutinize the ground coffee for perfection. Even my Braun grinder skipped bits and this makes LESS noise!

   I primarily use a Hario V60 dripper to make coffee. I have been using this grinder for about 6 months multiple times a day. It is good looking grinder. It appears to be well constructed. It has a good heft to it. It’s durable. It makes terrible coffee unless it has just been cleaned. The reason being is that it has two major flaws. The first is that the grind is totally inconsistent. For every grind setting you see a wide variation of particle size. The second is that it has a nasty habit of accumulating fine coffee powder in the chute that contaminates all your subsequent grinds. My experience was that after I cleaned the grinder I got a fairly decent cup of coffee that rapidly went down hill. It is impossible to get a consistent cup of coffee. I subsequently purchased the Baratza Viruosos+ and confirmed for myself how badly the Cuisinart was performing. The grind is uniform and the coffee is smoother than any coffee I have previously made at home. It seems that grind is more important than pour over technique.

   have owned 2 of these units, 1st one lasted maybe 4 years and worked well. 2nd one malfunctioned in about 8 months and had to be discarded — the basket became very hard to seat and now is unusable. there must be more reliable products out there.

   The Cuisinart name speaks well enough for quality, and I have no complaints in that department…so far it works flawlessly. The setting are not over-the-top, which I like, nor is understanding them a matter of deep study and trial and error…everything is fairly easy to figure out even without the manual. It has a large hopper on top, so even though I use a large amount of coffee every day, I only need to fill it with beans every few days.

   The two features I love are the grind settings – 18 settings ranging from espresso to French press – and the amount settings, from 1 to 14 cups. Unless you’re using it commercially you won’t use all the grind settings…I set it on 4 and use it for drip coffee; or the amount settings…I use 4 cups because I fill a 24 ounce cup.

   I previously used a hand grinder, but on a fine setting it takes forever to bring enough, and there is no “amount” setting. With the new grinder I simply hit one button every morning and a in a fraction of the time it used to take, I have a preset amount of coffee perfect ground. It’s fast, efficient, and gives me the right amount every time.

   I have owned three other burr grinders about the same price and this grinder easily surpasses them all. It grinds quickly with a noise level much lower than others I have owned (it’s a grinder, so it won’t be silent). The hopper feeds beans much more smoothly and consistently than other grinders I have had (on my other grinders I could have a full hopper and the beans would get stuck and the unit sounds like it’s gonna explode because it is grinding air), I HIGHLY recommend this grinder for the person who does not want to pay a king’s ransom but wants the full flavor of freshly ground beans! If something (God forbid) happens to this one, I would immediately buy another one.

   Due to the static charge that is imparted to the coffee particles by the grinding action (like rubbing a balloon on your head) NO coffee grinder will be very neat and grounds will stick to anything. We put ours on a decorative tray and simply dump it when it gets too full of grounds. THat’s the price you pay for freshly home–ground coffee! Check out the coffee stuck to the grinders in the grocery store!

   The main issue I have is the static electricity- lol! This will wear down over time but I was covered in coffee grinds the first time I used it. Give it a few minutes to let the static subside when first using. Also can try stirring beans with a wet metal spoon handle.
   Also the grinder does make noise – it’s a grinder, so…. Go figure. It’s like asking for a quiet circular saw, it doesn’t really exist.
   We love this lil appliance and really affects the quality of your coffee when it’s fresh ground!!

   Love this to make fresh coffee! It’s true, a burr grinder is better than a spice grinder…Get one, you won’t be disappointed!

    Great grinder. I’ve bought two – one for regular and one for decaf.

    Our Cuisinart DBM-8 died and I had to replace it. This one looked like a fantastic upgrade, but now that I’ve had it for a month and a half and no return available, I’m stuck with this miserable piece of junk. I gave 4 stars for noise level, because it’s quiet, but that’s by far the best thing about it. The grinds fall into the container from the top, unlike the DBM-8 which came in from the side. Which means when you pull the container out to pour the grounds into the coffee maker, a bunch fall out into the container slot, which means now you have to clean the damn thing before you can put the empty container back in. There doesn’t seem to be a very good seal between the grinder and the container either as my entire counter top is covered in coffee dust, every time I use it there are grounds all over the outside of the container. Be prepared to spend more time cleaning this stupid thing, as well as the rest of your coffee covered kitchen for that matter, than actually drinking your coffee. Terrible design Cuisinart, did anyone even test this before someone said “let’s make a million of them and sell them”?
