Product Description
To get the freshest, best-tasting coffee, you must start with great beans, and grind them yourself. This simple, easy to use appliance will have beans ready for brewing in next to no time.

Amazon.com Review
With Cuisinart's handsome, compact coffee grinder, it's easy to always have fresh coffee made to exact specifications. Its clean lines and teardrop shape make the grinder easy to hold, and it runs with the push of a button in its lid. To use, simply measure coffee beans into the bowl, replace the lid, and hold down the button until the coffee is ground to the desired consistency. Unplug the grinder when it's not in use--the cord can be stored in the base of the unit. --Jennifer Harris

Coffee grinder September 16, 2008
Grinder works well, but does too little at a time. Appears to be difficult to keep clean.

OK FOR SMALL QUANTITIES August 24, 2008
We use this product to grind coffee beans for 9 cups of coffee each day. This is the absolute limit of what it is capable of grinding. Cinnamon sticks get stuck in the blades. If the coffee beans are too moist, the grinder spins them around rather than grinding them. The size distribution of the resulting ground coffee is way too big, that is, it goes from fine to coarse in the same batch. I believe the only way to control this is to grind multiple batches. If you want a grinder for more than small batches (those that fill no more than half of the device), this is not the one for you. However, if you happen to be at the cabin and this is all you've got, you'll be grateful not to have to use a hammer to pulverize your beans.

Very good grinder for the price. August 8, 2008
This little grinder gets the job done and gets it done well. The capacity may be a bit low, but it's perfect for my little 4 cup coffee maker. If only it was a bit bigger, and the grinder was shaped so that pouring the grinds was a bit easier and cleaner, it would get 5 stars.

gets the job done July 28, 2008
I bought this coffee grinder when a friend bought me whole bean coffee after I got a coffee maker. I found that it works well and grinds the perfect amount for 4 coffee cups. about 30 seconds or 40 pulses provides consistent coffee, and it has been working well for the month I've had it with no deterioration, which seems like a good sign. I would recommend this, but seeing that it's my first coffee grinder I don't have much to compare it with.

Long on design, short on engineering goodness July 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We take turns making coffee in the office. The first day I met this thing I opened it up and wondered "Where are the beans supposed to go?". It's small. We have to grind two batches of french roast beans to get a decent 12 pot cup brew from this thing. Having ground the first batch, I lifted the grinder and started to move it towards the filter... and it was YANKED out of my hands by the combination of the amazingly short cord and the awful exterior design. I'm sure there is a reason for the comma-shaped cross section - but my hands just do NOT fit nicely around it. I'm a big guy, but my hands just do NOT fit around this thing. Maybe it's designed for blacksmiths or Victorian Age pickpockets... but it doesn't fit in MY hands.

So, after I flung coffee grounds all over the coffee room I got to spend the next 5 minutes playing with Mr Broom and Miss Dust Buster. The next 10 minutes were spent carrying the thing to the electronics engineering department and getting the guy to extend the power cord by 2 feet.

So, what have we got ? We've got something that is hard to hold, has an abysmally short cord, and doesn't grind enough coffee for a 12 cup pot. I think it might be perfect for a trendy kitchen in a Noo Yawk flat with silver and black accessories, but it's not a robust tool for an office.

Pretty, but hard to use.
