Cuisinart Programmable Conical Burr Grinder Reviews & Tests

Consumer review (epinions.com)

An Overpriced and Poor Quality Burr Grinder

I bought this grinder a couple of years ago when I got back into drinking coffee and two things attracted me to it - it was a burr grinder, which we all know is the best kind of coffee grinder (as opposed to blade grinders), and it looked sleek. After...

Sleek Looks, Built-In Timers for Different Cup Amounts, Better than a Blade Grader

Inconsistent Grind, Cannot Grind for Espresso, Loud and Underpowered Motor, Horrible Static Issues

It's definitely overpriced for what you get. Spend an extra $30 and get something like the Baratza Encore instead.

The Worst Grinder

I purchased the Cusinart CBM-18 Electric Burr grinder because I had heard burr grinders were the best coffee grinders.

The grinder was a Cusinart product and on sale and initially worked fine

It constantly jams and now I have to unclog it and wouldn't recommend it

Works, but has problems

The coffee grinder functions well, but has a real problem with static cling. The ground coffee clings to the side of the collection chamber and causes a real mess when transfering to the coffee maker.

The Worst

This is the single worst small kitchen appliance I have ever purchased. It creates static electricity, under conditions where no other grinder has ever done the same, and gets coffee grounds all over the counter and anywhere you empty the grind chamber...
