Cuisinart DBM8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Coffee Grinder - Grinding coffee beans just prior to brewing coffee delivers the optimal level of natural oils and flavonoids. The result is a fresh, delicious, complex-tasting cup of coffee that is pleasurable and satisfying. So forget about store ground coffee if you want to get the most flavor from the coffee bean. Grind those beans yourself just before you make your coffee. You'll appreciate the difference. Heavy duty motor 18-Month limited Cuisinart warranty
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

very nice product:
I bought this mostly for my partner since I don't drink much coffee. He has used this grinder before(owned by a relative) and when we needed our own, he would not settle for anything else. All I could say is he is still very happy with the purchase. I like its look too - it does feel high quality and sturdy.
Great for drip, not for espresso:
The box says it will do an 'ultra-fine' grind, but I would say that it doesn't even get to 'fine'. The regular grind is very consistent, so it should be great for drip coffee. I returned it, since 95% of my coffee is espresso. If you're a drip drinker, go for it. It seems very sturdy. It is loud, with a piercing whine.
Sturdy Styling Unit:
We've had the burr mill for over a week now getting daily use. Its very easy to use, adjustable for amount of coffee being brewed and size of grinds. Unit is very easy to clean and its easy to pour the grounds into a coffee maker filter. If you do get some buildup on the side or front of the where the ground coffee sits, simply tap gently against the counter and the problem will be eliminated. This is a styling unit that gets the job done.
Not durable:
I have owned two of these. The first lasted a little over a year. The second only a couple of months. Both burned up during use. My wife and I drink cold brew coffee almost exclusively requiring that we grind a pound of coffee each about every two weeks. We were excited about the grinding capacity, but clearly this is not a unit meant for much use.
