Amazon.com Review:
A stylish grinder for the serious coffee buff, this Cuisinart Supreme Grind automatic burr mill provides plenty of options and good results in an attractive and tidy structure. This makes it a great appliance for houses where coffee is a steady dietary staple and preferences vary from espresso to French drip. Outfitted with a heavy-duty motor, the machine has 18 grind settings ranging from fine to extra-coarse, which are controlled by a clearly marked, pleasantly clicking dial. Rotate the hopper to personal preference, and the machine does the rest, using burr plates for a highly uniform grind that protects bean oils and releases more flavor. Automatic operation in this grinder covers quantity as well--simply set the amount slide control anywhere from 4 to 18 cups. The grinder shuts off when the desired level is reached. Transfer of ready grounds to a coffee pot or espresso group is quick and tidy, because the grind chamber slides out with its clever lid in place.
Smart and elegant, the grinder has brushed stainless steel housing and black accents in durable plastic. The hopper, hopper lid, grinding burr, and grind chamber all remove easily for cleanup, and a safety feature keeps the grinder from operating without the hopper and chamber in place. Standing 6-3/4 by 9-3/4 by 5 inches, the unit has built-in power cord storage at its base. Cuisinart includes a coffee scoop/cleaning brush in one and covers the machine with an 18-month warranty. --Emily Bedard

- good grinderThis is the second Cuisinart grinder I've bought. My first one lasted one day over the warrenty, which is why I didn't give this a 5 star rating. I like this one because of the ease to use it and the size of the bean holder. And the different settings that it has. The part that broke was the plastic on the grinder itself. I would still get another one if this happens again. All the other burr grinders didn't have what I was looking for.

- solid grinderI've had this grinder for 3 weeks and I use it often. The noise is about the same as a blade grinder. The grinds are contained if you tap the resevoir to settle the grounds. I thought it was a good buy.

- Save $20 and buy a blenderThis is a burr grinder. In essence, it should produce even results, granting you the ability to use it for espresso through French press. When attempting to use the coarse setting, it produced a lot of powder, which is unacceptable for French press. Also, my 5-year old and 1-year old are both wide awake now that I'm making coffee - this thing is excessively loud.
I do not recommend this product. I had better results using my blade grinder.

- Stopped Working after 3 monthsWe purchased this machine thinking the brand and the reasonable cost would allow us to purchase coffee beans without having to sit in the store and have it mixed with all the other flavors....in the beginning it worked well, then after 3 months the automatic button stopped working, then finally it went kuputt!

- Probably worth $50I took this product back the first day I bought it for the simple fact that it did not have a fine enough grind for espresso. It seemed to produce a decent drip or press grind, but would also create a clump of dust in the top corner of the bin (annoying). For the engergy conscience, it also stays warm when plugged in, maybe because of internal circuitry such as a transformer. I bought a Baratza, much more expensive, and was impressed with the quality of the grind. I recommend the Baratza.
