Review: Great grinder for cold brew. Not perfect but a very nice grinder for the money. - OK, you may be asking yourself why do I need to spend this kind of money on a coffee grinder machine when I have one of those inexpensive rotary blade spice grinders? That is what I was saying initially. I used to be a huge coffee drinker and as I got older the acid began affecting me in negative ways. I tried store-bought cold brew in bottles and that seemed much better. It didn't bother me nearly as much. So, I began a quest to brew the perfect cold brew cup at home. I spoke to baristas at Starbucks and other coffee shops on how they do it and looked up recipes and stories on the web. Cold brew is easy to make but I was not having great success. Mine was more bitter and had an acid taste. I mentioned my results to a coffee maker at Starbucks one day and he said the trick is to use the right grind and well filtered water (which I was doing, I was using RO) . So, I asked about the grind. He said get a burr grinder and set it almost to maximum course grind. That is when I decided to pull the plug and buy this grinder. Well, I love this machine. It is not perfect, but it is excellent. And if you get it on sale or with a coupon it is more than worth the money, really. I know it is hard to believe that a grinder type makes such a difference, but it does, and you WILL notice it on the first sip. The CUISINART burr coffee grinder is a quality machine. It is easy to operate, offers quality grind from fine to course. I think the settings should allow for an even courser grind, but it works for me as is. Depending on what you are drinking, espresso to cold brew, you require a different grind and Rotary blade grinders don’t get it done correctly even if you try and time it to get the right coarseness. Don’t ask me why but they don’t. You get a much more consistent grind with this. The difference in the brew quality is noticeable, honestly. What I really like about this machine is it dispenses the right amount of coffee at the right grind, once you dial in what you like you get a consistent cup like never before. All you do is pour in beans in the hopper, set the desired degree of grind and then slide the switch to the number of cups you plan to brew, then hit start. The machine runs and stops, and you’re done, you have the right amount at the right grind. Fantastic. Not too strong too weak or too bitter. Yes, you will have to experiment a little bit to get your settings to what you prefer but it will not take long and once you have it set it is a simple push of the button. Positives: • Produces a wide range of consistent grinds. • Love that it dispenses the right amount of coffee. • Reasonably priced for what it does and the quality of build • Major brand (should have decent customer support) Negatives: • Could offer a little more course setting. • A bit loud • Takes up some space on counter (pain to put away and take out) • Needs to be cleaned from time to time. Overall, I love this grinder as I am drinking my best cold brew ever right now. It is not a perfect machine, but it is close enough for me, does what I want and is a good value. I highly recommend this machine if you are a coffee lover and appreciate a quality brew. I give this item 5 stars because of the results; the machine is about 4.75 stars because it could be courser and a bit quieter. Love the grind selector and the fact it dispenses the right amount, that is really great. It works very well. 3/17/24 UPDATE: Still loving this machine. No issue whatsoever. After reading some of these other reviews, you have to judge a product AND the cost for the best value and if it meets your needs. At this price, it is a very nice machine. Yes, there are more expensive commercial style machines. This is a home machine that will grind your beans for whatever you are brewing. I read some other reviews and feel some were a little biased because they had used commercial style grinders prior, and this is not as nice. Well, Bentley's are better than Chevy's but they both get you to where you are going safely. This is a home item, intended for intermittent use, not a commercial continuous-use machine. All that said it gives you a quality grind for whatever coffee brew method you are choosing. Also, Cuisinart is a big-name company that stands behind your purchase. If your item is defective or for some reason breaks, I am sure they will remedy the issue. Over 10,000 of these were sold just on desertcart last month! THAT says something. It's a good deal for a home machine. 5 stars This is my honest review of this item; I hope it was helpful to you in making a purchasing decision.
Review: Great Burr Grinder - Extremely Acceptable Price - This is my 2nd purchase of this grinder, my last one lasted for over 10 years with minimal cleaning. I expect if I clean this one regularly, it will last even longer. If you factor in the extremely low price for a burr grinder, that meant I spent around $8 a year for the services this product supplied and the 2nd one was lower priced here on desertcart. So overall, benefits/price is 5 star. Advice for use: - Play around with the settings at first, its automatic as far as number of cups are concerned but its just an average. I find that since I like a stronger cup of coffee, I'll grind more beans for 8 cups than the 8 cup setting, I typically set it for 10 cups for my 8 cup coffee maker. Thats for my Bonavita which is inefficient making coffee. In my old Krups, 8 cups in the grinder gave me a good 8 cups in the coffee maker that met my strength goals. Also, play around with the grind courseness settings, I found that slightly less than medium works well for my drip maker, but that won't ring true for every coffee making style or pot. Pros: - Fast - Good, even grind that preserves the oils without excess heat - Lots of variables, you can adjust the courseness from extremely fine to very course so it should work with any type of coffee maker. I use mine mostly with my Bonavita drip coffee maker now and my Krups before. I've also used it with my espresso maker with perfect results. - Bean bin hold at least 1/2 a pound of coffee, more than enough for several pots of coffee, I refill mine from my ceramic, sealed container as needed. - Grind bin is big enough for all coffee pots I've used from 12 cup Krups to 8 cup Bonavita - Extremely reasonable price ~$50 vs $150 for similar grinders - This is a burr grinder, steel or ceramic burrs and disks (they are a flat grey color, so not sure if metal or ceramic, but definitely not plastic. - My last one lasted for over 10 years, so I have high expectations for this one too Cons: - Loud, but I don't have another burr grinder to compare it to. Not a factor most mornings, since the kids and adults all have to get up around the same time. On mornings that I'm making coffee extra early, I might grind the night before. FYI, while its grinding, I nearly always think of the scene from the Billy Crystal movie City Slickers where they decide to treat themselves to some fresh espresso and cause a stampede - if you haven't seen it, definitely find it and watch. - Plastic grind bin does have a static cling. Unlike some reviewers, I don't find it excessive and It doesn't spray grinds all over the counter, so this might be a factor of your environment i.e. humidity, counter type, electrical outlet or even the clothes your wearing that day. This does cause some grind dust build-up on the inside of the grind bin - I simply give it a couple of strong taps while the lid is still on to shake them down before I open and pour into the filter. I think a glass grind bin would probably help here. (as an extra, we have found the bean dust build up makes for great espresso cookies). - Needs cleaning, since it is not static free, you will have to clean it infrequently - not every time you use it though, so it totally depends on your usage. I use mine every day for a pot of coffee and clean the grind receptacle as needed every few weeks and the main grinder every few months. Cleaning is not that hard and its relatively easy to take apart. BTW, I never cleaned the one dbm8 I owned before and it lasted for 10 years or more - in addition, after it died I took it apart to see if it was coffee grinds that did it in or something else. What I found was darkened circuit board around a particular capacitor, so electrical failure got it in the end. Overall I think you get a great buy for the quality, resulting grind and price. There are better grinders out there, for twice or quadruple the price of the Cuisinart dbm8, but why get one that is close in price and gives you only slightly better results. For me, this grinder works great and I expect years of satisfactory service from it just like its predecessor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a conical burr grinder**
A: conical or flat -- makes NO difference.  There are $3,000 grinders with flat burrs.  BTW this is NOT for espresso.  try it and fail.

**Q: Is it OK to put a small amount of coffee in the hopper (e.g., enough for one cup) and let the timer turn off after the hopper has been depleted?**
A: Yes. It's not a problem. There is a safety switch in the foot of the unit that requires the cup to be in place for the motor to run. If the machine is still running when the coffee is gone from the hopper, simply remove the collection cup. This will stop the motor from running unnecessarily.

**Q: Can it be used as a grain mill?**
A: This thing has been a workhorse! I use it for grinding whole oats with hulls (sometimes sunflower seeds too) to make up horse feed 2x a day. I grind 4-5 cups each feeding with the setting on coarse, and after almost 2 1/2 years it is just now getting a little dull and heating up to where it quits on me toward the end of the 5th cup. I am getting ready to purchase again even though the first one is still working... just not quite as well. It has never let me down! I have been very happy, considering I have not been using it for its intended use.

**Q: will it grind nuts into flour?**
A: No this is a coffee grinder and should not be used to grind anything else. It will dull the Burr and ultimately ruin the machine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great consistent grind but could be coarser (Update, broke after 18mths)
*by L***N on December 22, 2018*

I received this product yesterday and did a taste test this morning. It's a 5 star machine for most people I think, but I gave it 4 stars because the coarse grind setting could go to one or two settings coarser and it's not as precise as my Krups-style grinder for mixing my caff and decaf beans. Pros: +Looks nice enough on the counter although it's a bit big. +Creates a consistent grind. +Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the coffee (objective#1). +The machine seems to be of good quality considering the price I paid. +I think I will be able to use less coffee beans for the same strength of coffee (objective#2). Cons (some of these I knew when I bought it and am willing to deal with): -It's louder than my little Krups. -It's not very portable to bring on vacation. Also, sometimes I would fill my Krups then walk over to the garage with the door closed to grind so I don't wake the household on my early mornings. I can't see doing this with this machine. -It's too big to keep in a cabinet and take out each morning. I don't like cluttered kitchen counters. -My big disappointment is that the most coarse grind is still not coarse enough for what I was looking for. See photo. I do not like any bitterness to my coffee, and my experience has been the more fine the grind, the more bitter the coffee. But as I said, I was pleasantly surprised that the coffee tasted pretty good...as good or better than my usual. I would have liked to do a taste test at a coarser grind though. I use the pour-over method (see photo) to make coffee and have always used a 2-second grind/shake/2-second grind method on my Krups for coarse grinds. Admittedly there are a few coffee beans that would come out whole or just halved with this method, thus my desire for a grinder to give me a consistent grind and hopefully use less coffee for the same strength of coffee. The net result is that I like the consistency of the coffee (I'm projecting here into the future) vs. the unevenness of the Krups grind due to my under- or over-grinding or just the inconsistency of the Krups grinder itself. (Note on the little Krups because my comment sounds negative: It's over 20 years old so maybe it needs a new blade for a better grind. It's been a trooper!) -The number of cups you can set this new machine for starts at 4 so it is assuming I'm using a coffee maker, but it seems fine for one mug of coffee. I would prefer it start at 2 which I think is more accurate for a single mug. When I dumped the hopper upside down to see how much coffee was not ground after using the 4 cup setting, there was about a full scoop left. I had put 5 scoops in because I wasn't sure how much to put in. (The scoop comes with the grinder.) One of my concerns that I'm still unsure about: My boyfriend drinks caffeinated coffee and I drink decaf with about 10 regular caff beans mixed in because I'm very sensitive to caffeine. So we have to grind the beans and make our single-cup coffee separately. Although the instructions tell you to "Fill bean hopper to top", you do not *have* to fill it to the top obviously. (I'm a tech writer and misleading wording like this makes me cringe.) You can put just the right amount of beans for just one cup and press the START bar. It does a fine job with this little amount. (Also, the instructions say "press the power bar to begin grinding". The bar says START on it, so it should be called the START bar. But I digress.) I need to figure out exactly how many beans to put in the hopper for one cup so I don't have to dump the hopper before making my next cup of coffee. One unfortunate side effect I just thought of is that my exact 10 beans of caff beans will never be exact again unless I can figure out exactly how many beans consistently are ground at the 4 cup setting without any left over beans. If I dump the hopper and beans come out, are they caff or decaf beans and what should I do with them? I'll have to slip them into the boyfriend's coffee. In summary, it's not the best design for someone making a single mug of coffee using the pour-over method, but it's good enough. I like the grind consistency and the reduced amount of beans needed. It is also not ideal when two members of the same household use different beans. If I can find a grinder that meets my household's needs, I will gladly replace this one. In the meantime, I'll make due. UPDATE: The "automatic" function broke after 18mths of daily use. There's nothing broken that I can see...it just won't continue grinding based on the setting for numbers of cups. The product is still usable, but I have to "pulse" grind like you do with a food processor and count by seconds to get the right amount of grinding. This makes it useless to me because the whole point was to made it dummy proof so my bf could make me coffee exactly the way I want. For all the reasons above, I think I'll go back to a Krups hand held grinder if I have to count seconds anyway.
