Amazon.com Review
Operating at low heat to preserve flavor and aroma, this big, sleek coffee grinder can handle a whopping 90 grams of beans at once, enough for 18 cups, and it grinds spices at well. State of the art from its safety shutoff to its stainless-steel blade to its wraparound power cord, the grinder lends a modern look to any countertop. --Fred Brack

All looks no function July 19, 2008
This coffee grinder looks great. The problem is the coffee is never ground evenly. There are always big chunks left even after grinding over 30 seconds. If you grind more then that the friction causes the coffee to heat up, so it is not really functional at all. Pre-ground coffee tastes better then anything ground with this machine.

reserving final judgement on this grinder July 15, 2008
This coffee grinder was purchased to replace an older Cuisinart dcg-12c grinder. The older grinder was not inoperative, we just felt a new one should be on hand in case of failure. The new grinder sometimes sounds as though it is grinding its own gears instead of the coffee beans. There appears to be some uncertainty as to proper seating of the grinding bowl. Not sure we'll be keeping this grinder so an update of this review may be required.

Not what I would expect from Cuisinart July 14, 2008
I received this as a present. 2 months after I got it, the bowl would not come off anymore. As this was the reason I wanted this one, I brought it back to the store it was purchased in, and did get an exchange. Less than 5 months later, this one has just stopped working. I also agree with many of the other reviewers who are disappointed in the grinding. It does leave a lot of large chunks and unground beans. I have been using my blender which has worked better than this grinder ever did. I have written to Cuisinart and am waiting for a reply. I have other Cuisinart products and have been happy with them, but would recommend that you pass this one up. I have also been looking into other grinders, and it seems that most recommendations favor the burr grinders.

Previous review are true June 28, 2008
While looking for the instruction manual because i just remembered that the bowl is suppose to come off so I can wash it, I came across these reviews, which are all true. It doesn't grind small, no matter how much you try. It is persnickity with other seeds besides coffee, such as flax and sesame. The bowl doesn't release and so it is difficult to wash. It is loud. You have to kee checking to see if it is ground up. It creates a mess what taking the lid off. Mine does work and it has for a fewmonths now, so at least it is reliable thus far. If you can get it on sale, I go for it, but the money spent is not worth it at all.

Don't associate the Cuisinart name w/quality for this June 27, 2008
Worked 3 times and then totally broke. Working = leaving big chunks of beans in the ground coffee.
