Cuisinart Supreme Grind DBM-8 Electric Burr Grinder

Pros: A true burr grinder at a low price that has been reliable.
Cons: noisy; static cling makes cleanup a nuisance

BACKGROUND I am amazed at the number of negative reviews written about this machine! First, there must be a lot of them sold if there are this many reviews. That's gotta say something about its popularity. I've had mine for about a year and ...

Pros: Simple, automatic operation and a more uniform grinding of coffee beans.
Cons: Grinds an inconsistent amount of coffee. Some finer ground coffee accumulates at top of chamber.

Why Did We Buy the Cuisinart Automatic Burr Mill? I bought the burr grinder to replace a worn-out blade grinder. Actually, I was glad that the blade grinder wore out, because I had been reading that burr grinders provide a more uniform grind ...

Pros: Adjustable timer and grind size, safety features, unit size, price
Cons: Loud, some parts are hard to clean, need 1/4 full to run well

I’m no expert but… There are coffee ‘experts’ out there who take their java seriously. Like wine connoisseurs, there are those who, with a taste, can pinpoint specific flavors, nuances, and hints of this or that in different ...

Pros: Grinds coffee beans well, Style, Parts easy to clean, Easy to get ground coffee from
Cons: Grinding chamber somewhat a pain to clean out

I will never be an apologist for Cuisinart. Indeed, after my experience with their loathsome Grind Central (reviewed at: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _405635305092 ) - which I am shocked in retrospect to find I ...

Pros: Burr Machine. Chrome gives solid, stylish appearance. "Timer" ability to grind set amount of grounds.
Cons: Noise. Plastic receptacle. Grinds too inconsistent to be used for espresso purposes. Produces some powder.

DRIP ONLY Don't believe that ANY grinder in this price range will be the ultimate grinder for all your grinding needs. I read with amusement as some reviewers (not necessarily here) slammed this grinder for not grinding well enough to use with ...

Pros: A quality and convenient gadget at a reasonable price. Attractive, well designed,a very nice product.
Cons: Hopper wont hold a full bag of coffee. Noisy operation.

I was accustomed to grinding my coffee a bag at a time at the grocery store and enjoying that wonderful aroma filling the air. I could not wait to get home to have a cup. When the blade type grinders became popular I thought it would be nice to enjoy ...

Pros: Competent and Does a Decent Job
Cons: Jams but rarely, ultra-fine grind setting probably not fine enough for expresso.

What is This? This is a burr coffee grinder that passes the beans through the grinding mechanism in a single pass. This has 2 advantages over the blade/blender style coffee grinder: You get a more consistent grind as the contact time between beans and ...

Pros: reasonably priced, easy to use, plenty of grind settings
Cons: static may produce some mess at times

I have had this unit in continuous use for over 4 years now. By that I mean I grind about one full hopper a week, every week. It has never failed me, and the consistency of the grind is great for my Bunn coffee maker. Like many of this type it is ...

Pros: Easy to use, looks good, consistent grind
Cons: inconsistent grind amounts, oil from beans warps hopper

I had been hinting LOUDLY to my wife that I really wanted a burr grinder for Christmas this year. I know we didn't have a whole lot of $$ to spend on a grinder so I did my best to steer her towards a more 'affordable' grinder. I love my coffee, but I ...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, convenient, easy to use, looks cool
Cons: LOUD, inconsistent, can be messy, not fine enough for espresso

Grind your own beans! Few things will make your coffee taste better than using freshly ground beans - fresh ground beans made a black coffee drinker out of me. Since you're reading this you knew that already. A bit about grinders ...

Pros: Attractive styling, easy and efficient operation. Yields a consistent grind.
Cons: No real drawbacks so far.

Although the specific model I got from Costco differs from what's noted here (mine is called the CCM-16PC), the machine itself is identical to the DBM-8. The specifications, the look, the dimensions, even the 18-month warranty are all identical. It may ...

Pros: Grind, Price and ease of cleaning.
Cons: Hopper feed and on/off switch.

Bought this grinder to replace the Kitchen Aid bubble gum machine grinder that I finally gave up on. I am very impressed with it after the first week, so much so I put my other grinder away after the first day! The grind consistancy is way above my ...

Pros: It works, actually grinds whole bean coffee, more or less. Not a piece of junk.
Cons: Controls are clumsy. Care must be used to keep coffee from spilling on counter.

OK, the unit works, but if you use a dark and oily French Roast coffee, you can expect it to clog from time to time, causing you to wonder if the correct amount of coffee will be dispensed. The coarseness setting also works, but can be easily changed ...

Pros: great quality finest grind, price and low maintenance
Cons: none that I can think

I have been using the Cuisinart since Christmas of 2007. It was a present, so although I did not paid for it directly, I believe that it is a great unit for the money. I had looked at many grinders and had balked at the price of most of them, unwilling ...

Pros: Attractive appearance.  Grinds well when it works.
Cons: Product stopped working after a few dozen grinds.

My wife and I received this coffee grinder as a wedding present approximately two years ago.  It was only used a few dozen times.  The grinder just joined the Cuisinart coffee maker in the local dump.  On a positive note, I can say that ...
