Operating at low heat to preserve flavor and aroma, this big, sleek coffee grinder can handle a whopping 90 grams of beans at once, enough for 18 cups, and it grinds spices at well. State of the art from its safety shutoff to its stainless-steel blade to its wraparound power cord, the grinder lends a modern look to any countertop. --Fred Brack

I tried to replace it a few months ago. Not because it doesn't grind perfectly, but because I have to stand there and hold the button down the entire time to run the motor. When I first bought it I tested grind times and found that I get the perfect consistency at three minutes. A safe button that requires you to hold it down is probably ideal to many, but I see it as three minutes I could spend eating my breakfast or feeding the dogs — three lost minutes. I bought several different coffee grinders and returned each one. They simply did a poor job on grinding the beans, even at their finest settings. (I make espresso, so I want an extremely fine grind and the other models just couldn't do it.)
For all you reviewers who complain about half-ground beans, try grinding for longer. It's a simple fix and is as designed.
I highly recommend this product and just about any other product with a Cuisinart logo. Good, sturdy, dependable equipment.
