 Previous review are true June 28, 2008
K. Hawkins (Puerto Rico)
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.
 Have used my grinder once a week for 4 years and love it! June 27, 2008
Kathryn S. Cox (Tucson, AZ USA and Atyrau, Kazakhstan)
I've had my grinder since 2004 and I love it! I was going to buy one for a friend so I came to Amazon to do so and was shocked to see all of the people who don't like it! We are "weekend coffee drinkers" who only tend to grind beans once a week on weekends, when we are entertaining or just relaxing around the house. I am usually grinding beans for about 5 or 6 people at a time and I use it, as the instructions say, by grinding only 20 or 30 seconds at a time. I use it for grinding good quality beans to a coarse grind for use in my French Press.
I wonder if some of the people whose motors have started smoking or burned out have been keeping the motor running for a few minutes at a time? Or perhaps they have washed the cup in the dishwasher so much with hard water that there is a scale build up?
I like the fact that the grinder cup has a plastic lid, so that if I grind too much I can easily save it in the refrigerator.
I also like the fact that it is so easy to use and that you just press down on the bar on the top of the clear plastic lid to get it to grind. When you stop pressing the bar, the motor stops. And, I can see inside and decide if I want to grind a bit more or not.
Additionally, I like the fact that the grinder is quite compact and can sit on my counter without taking up too much room, plus is stainless steel, so looks good.
The best part is that the price is quite reasonable for a lightly used small appliance.
I would recommend this grinder to anyone who likes to grind their own beans for use in a French Press occasionally, but it may not be heavy duty enough for daily use (I'll tell you in another 3 years, because that would be the equivalent, I suppose!)
Incomplete grinding June 18, 2008
Branden D. Tarlow (Menlo Park, CA USA)
We got this as a wedding gift but have stopped using it. It grinds poorly with anything more beans for 2 cups of coffee. It's aesthetically pleasing and doesn't break, but I would never buy it again.
 Works well, but how long? June 17, 2008

The overall concept of the grinder is good. The problems are with the stainless steel/plastic cover. Since purchasing it, the button on top feels cheap and has lost some of it's springback. Also the chrome screws on the underside of the lid have rusted. I hand wash and rinse it after using. Also grinds manage to slip out from under the grind cup and make a cleanup mess on the base. I think Cuisinart can do better than this! It does grind coffee VERY well though.
