Cuisinart DBM-8C Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill,Silver

This is my first burr grinder. I read in some of the other reviews this machine has issues with static electricity. I didn’t think it was going to be that big of a deal and the previous reviewers were over exaggerating – boy, was I in for a shock (not literally;)! Basically, the first time I used it, coffee grinds were stuck all over the sides and lid of the coffee output hole bucket thing. I thought maybe it was just because it was its very first use so I emptied it out and tried again – same thing. I read and watched some tricks on how to prevent this (put a few drops of water in with the coffee before you grind it) and that has reduced the static problem to a somewhat tolerable level (though doesn’t eliminate it entirely). But still, this is a lot more convenient and less messy than emptying out my old blade grinder.

Another thing of note: the coffee doesn’t grind that fine. I had it set between the finest setting and medium and to me it made what I would call “coarse” (think pre-grinded coffee can style). I was curious what the actual coarse setting would output but I haven’t tried it because I didn’t want to waste my precious beans.

I recommend getting a machine with a glass coffee hole bucket thing if the static issue is going to grind your gears – it’s probably worth the extra amount of dollars.

Other than that, it will do. 🎅🏻

Love it! I’m new to this home coffee game, but the quarantine has taught me to stop wasting $$$, so here I am…now loving this device! Loud but quick, easy to clean with multiple sizing options. Obvious difference with fresh grinds vs pre ground.

Will update with issues

I’ve only had it a month and ground 2 lbs of coffee, but it seems fine so far. The machine offers a very wide selection of grinds, and the coffee comes out uniformly. Quibbles? It is noticeably louder than the Bodum it replaces, and for some reason, messier. (It is hard to empty the receptacle into the coffee tin without spilling some coffee. This is due to the mouth being too wide.) But all in all, I’m satisfied.

Ce moulin a quelque chose qui cloche. Aucune réaction lorsque je l’ai branché dans le mur (conformément aux instructions). Je le retourne et en reçois un deuxième. Le deuxième moulin fonctionne à merveille… Pendant 3jours seulement, puis ne répond plus comme le premier. Je recommande vivement de fuir ce modèle, mais également ce fabricant, que j’ai tenté de contacter, en vain. Aucun représentant en français…ni en anglais. Et magasinant pour un 3e moulin, différent des premiers cette fois, je tombe sur des “deals”à tout casser sur le fameux modèle, version reconditionnée, chez un grand détaillant nord-américain. Mon hypothèse ; ce modèle a un bogue dans sa connexion qui doit nécessairement être connu de son fabricant qui persiste à le distribuer. Il doit fonctionner normalement après un passage chez le réparateur, mais ce n’est pas moi qui ferai l’essai de la version reconditionnée. À l’avenir, pour moi, Cuisinart c’est non merci.

A few month’s on and the grinds container always throw grinds all over my coffee maker when I try to fill the filter. Amount ground goes from too little to to much and never stops on just right. Peice of garbage.I bought this to replace my wonky Breville grinder that cost almost five times as much. Since that grinder was never called on for coarse ground or fine espresso grind( which it didn’t actually do despite manufacturer claims) I decided that I didn’t need to pay for a machine that will do these things. My mistake.

This unit is garbage. After three months of putting up with inconsistant grinds, static on the grinds container, questionable tasting coffee and seemingly random amounts of ground coffee ground (if you look at the quantity slider it moves) I caved when I saw the new Breville on sale for $60 off!

I like my espresso grinder. It’s an all around great purchase. Easy to use, easy to clean and not bad looking on the counter.
The only issue is that I drink espresso and I hate buying pre-grinded coffee (less fresh). So I purchased this one in the hopes that it would grind small enough for me to enjoy my cup of joe in the am. After using it since October, I find that the espresso grind is not thin enough, therefore produces a lack of flavor in the coffee itself. I recommend for other coffee types!

This is my second unit. The motor died on the first one after five years or so. After looking around I decided to purchase another one thinking the first failure was a fluke. The motor completely died in the new grinder after only 4 months. I am the only coffee drinker in the house so it’s not from over use. This new unit was notably noisier than the first one as well. You should probably be using protective ear coverings if you are grinding any volume of coffee. It’s the last Cuisinart I’ll ever buy. Given Amazon only allows returns for the first 30 days, my next coffee grinder won’t be purchased from Amazon either.
