Decent Grinder, but upgrading will get you vastly superior results

I used this grinder for several years before upgrading to the Baratza Maestro Plus (which would be my recommendation if you are looking for a great home grinder). I can say that the Cuisinart is an ok machine, but not one to look to for precise results. A few things to keep in mind… The Cuisinart uses a flat burr rather than conical type burr assembly usually found on higher-end models. Also, most of the grind power of the Cuisinart comes from the speed at which the motor turns the burr. Higher-end grinders typically use higher grade motors to produce a high power grind at lower rotation speeds. This assists in producing a more uniform grind, keeps the coffee from heating up while being ground and to prevents too much static from being generated in the grinding process. Some grinders use a gear reduction method to get this slower, yet powerful grind from a high speed motor (the Baratza is an example). The Cuisinart is definitely a step up from a blade grinder, but for a little more money you can get much better results than it will offer you. Just my 2 cents.

Better than a blade grinder

Pros: cheap, large capacity, adjustable grind, stainless looks nice

Cons: some “fine coffee dust” buildup, loud

I couldn’t tell that it was remanufactured, it looked new.

First use, I dumped about a cup of beans in the machine (after cleaning and drying the grinder of course) and adjusted the grind to medium. Pushed the button, and a very loud grinder started. A minute or so later, there were still beans left, but the machine stopped. Pushed the button again. Eventually there were only about 3 beans bouncing around in the bottom of the grinder. I took the catch tray out and found a bunch of caked up powdered coffee that was ground to “super fine” consistancy built-up around the top of the grinder. This was unusable, but only represented about 1 teaspoon of coffee. It fell in with the rest of my grounds and when I make coffee, it ‘disolves’ into the water, making the coffee taste bad near the bottom of the pot/ cup. I just dump it out or drink it anyways, but I see how that could bother people…

Overall, it’s a good grinder, and a lot better than a blade grinder, and if you watch the prices, you can get it for the same price as a blade grinder (Friday sales). Recommended for not-so-picky coffee drinkers (those who can tell the difference between fresh ground beans and folgers), but not recommended to picky drinkers (those who can tell you the time and weather conditions of when the coffee was ground based upon the taste).
