Small but mighty
This is perfect for a 5 cup coffee maker. It grinds 3 different ways, course, drip, fine. It is very easy to use. Put in the beans and press the lever and you are done. Clean up is a breeze. This was a great purchase.

Poorly designed, small capacity
With a Cuisinart coffee maker and toaster that are exceptional and long-lasting, I was excited to find a Cuisinart coffee grinder and at a reasonable price. The coffee grinder DOES feel solid and well-made. Turns out the capacity for the beans isn't enough to brew even 8 of the 12-cup capacity of the coffee maker. The grinder basket is too deep to easily clean and canno...

Great Grinder
Compact, inexpensive and works great. The instructions are a must to follow to get the grind you are looking for. Medium grind: run grind for 20 seconds. When complete, this will be the right amount of coffee to brew 5 cups in the Cuisinart 5 cup coffee maker.

Smooth and quiet grinder. The coffee bean is fine after use the grinder just for very few seconds. Plus without noise when I just press on the simple button. Excellent grinder I ever have before.

Great device
I had a large coffee grinder, but I only drink one cup in the morning. This device enabled me to grind just the amount I needed.

The lid is flimsy.
Had my old grinder for many years. Dropped the lid onto the counter and the black piece broke off. Bought the one your survey is about and a guest dropped that lid. It broke as well. Now I am off to purchase my second one in two weeks.

Love this Brand
I bought this to replace the same model that had finally broken after years of use. This one is much quieter and it does the job. Hopefully I will get the same longevity from it.

Response from Staples :
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with this grinder. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed other Cuisinart products, and we appreciate your detailed input on this model’s design and capacity. For the best results, many consumers find it helpful to grind beans in smaller batches, gently tap the grinder after use to help grounds settle, and use a soft brush to reach the bottom of the bowl for easier cleaning. Ensuring the lid is fully aligned before grinding can also help minimize spills. Feedback like yours helps us understand how our products are used and where improvements may be beneficial. We’re sorry to hear this grinder didn’t meet your expectations, and we value you sharing your thoughts with us.

A perfect grinder without the bells or whistles!
Grinder works very well! For a simple-to-use, starter grinder, wouldn't recommend any other! Only improvement would be a self-measuring system to get the perfect amount of beans per carafe. Easy to clean, easy to operate and set aside. The cord is not so easy to stow away, but that was not my primary reason for purchasing. Would buy again if this one were ever to fail.

cuisinart grinder
I love this product I use it mainly for coffee grinding, love that I can grind my espresso beans very fine and my morning coffee a bit morse coarse the way I like it. Nothing like the smell of grinding your own morning coffee.

Nice while it lasted.
Well, I’ve had this grinder for about 45 days or so. Have used it maybe 25 times. This morning, I put beans in and started using as I had in the past. The grinder struggled to process the beans and eventually stopped working all together. I unplugged it and googled the situation. Seemed advisable to let it cool down, so I made a cup from Keurig and began my day. T...

Good little utility tool
After ordering - and returning - an expensive coffee bean grinder, we purchased the Cuisinart. It fits perfectly with our needs. I'm able to get the grind level we like for brewing. The grinder itself is easy to use and clean. The only item keeping it from a 5-star review is that it is a little messy when transferring from grinder cup to coffee pot or storage contai...
