5.0 out of 5 stars Great grinder for cold brew. Not perfect but a very nice grinder for the money.

J.F. · March 10, 2024

The media could not be loaded. OK, you may be asking yourself why do I need to spend this kind of money on a coffee grinder machine when I have one of those inexpensive rotary blade spice grinders? That is what I was saying initially.I used to be a huge coffee drinker and as I got older the acid began affecting me in negative ways. I tried store-bought cold brew in bottles and that seemed much better. It didn't bother me nearly as much. So, I began a quest to brew the perfect cold brew cup at home. I spoke to baristas at Starbucks and other coffee shops on how they do it and looked up recipes and stories on the web. Cold brew is easy to make but I was not having great success. Mine was more bitter and had an acid taste. I mentioned my results to a coffee maker at Starbucks one day and he said the trick is to use the right grind and well filtered water (which I was doing, I was using RO) . So, I asked about the grind. He said get a burr grinder and set it almost to maximum course grind. That is when I decided to pull the plug and buy this grinder.Well, I love this machine. It is not perfect, but it is excellent. And if you get it on sale or with a coupon it is more than worth the money, really. I know it is hard to believe that a grinder type makes such a difference, but it does, and you WILL notice it on the first sip.The CUISINART burr coffee grinder is a quality machine. It is easy to operate, offers quality grind from fine to course. I think the settings should allow for an even courser grind, but it works for me as is. Depending on what you are drinking, espresso to cold brew, you require a different grind and Rotary blade grinders don’t get it done correctly even if you try and time it to get the right coarseness. Don’t ask me why but they don’t. You get a much more consistent grind with this. The difference in the brew quality is noticeable, honestly.What I really like about this machine is it dispenses the right amount of coffee at the right grind, once you dial in what you like you get a consistent cup like never before. All you do is pour in beans in the hopper, set the desired degree of grind and then slide the switch to the number of cups you plan to brew, then hit start. The machine runs and stops, and you’re done, you have the right amount at the right grind. Fantastic. Not too strong too weak or too bitter. Yes, you will have to experiment a little bit to get your settings to what you prefer but it will not take long and once you have it set it is a simple push of the button.Positives:• Produces a wide range of consistent grinds.• Love that it dispenses the right amount of coffee.• Reasonably priced for what it does and the quality of build• Major brand (should have decent customer support)Negatives:• Could offer a little more course setting.• A bit loud• Takes up some space on counter (pain to put away and take out)• Needs to be cleaned from time to time.Overall, I love this grinder as I am drinking my best cold brew ever right now. It is not a perfect machine, but it is close enough for me, does what I want and is a good value. I highly recommend this machine if you are a coffee lover and appreciate a quality brew. I give this item 5 stars because of the results; the machine is about 4.75 stars because it could be courser and a bit quieter. Love the grind selector and the fact it dispenses the right amount, that is really great. It works very well.3/17/24 UPDATE: Still loving this machine. No issue whatsoever. After reading some of these other reviews, you have to judge a product AND the cost for the best value and if it meets your needs. At this price, it is a very nice machine. Yes, there are more expensive commercial style machines. This is a home machine that will grind your beans for whatever you are brewing. I read some other reviews and feel some were a little biased because they had used commercial style grinders prior, and this is not as nice. Well, Bentley's are better than Chevy's but they both get you to where you are going safely. This is a home item, intended for intermittent use, not a commercial continuous-use machine. All that said it gives you a quality grind for whatever coffee brew method you are choosing. Also, Cuisinart is a big-name company that stands behind your purchase. If your item is defective or for some reason breaks, I am sure they will remedy the issue. Over 10,000 of these were sold just on Bolo last month! THAT says something. It's a good deal for a home machine.5 starsThis is my honest review of this item; I hope it was helpful to you in making a purchasing decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done

M. · February 15, 2026

I’ve been using this grinder for a while now, and overall it’s been a great addition to my coffee setup. The build quality feels solid, and the large bean hopper and grounds container make it easy to grind enough coffee for several brews without constantly refilling. The grind adjustability is also a strong point the range of settings makes it simple to dial in everything from coarse cold brew to a finer drip grind.There are a couple of downsides, It’s pretty loud, especially compared to some smaller grinders I’ve used It takes up a noticeable amount of counter space, so it’s something to keep in mind if your kitchen is tight on room. Even with those quirks, it performs well and delivers consistent results. If you want a dependable grinder with plenty of capacity and good control over grind size, this one gets the job done.

4.0 out of 5 stars its an ok grinder.

I have had this for 6 months and some good and some bad which did get knocked a star for. So the good, it works and does what is advertized. overall simple to take appart and clean. seems to be durable as of yet. and does get good usable grinds for your coffee needs.The bad, IT IS LOUD! this sucker cranks a storm when on and the grind quantities are not consistent. so what I do is just grind full loads of coffee and stash the grind on a mason jar and use that accordingly. the stainless feels a bit cheap.plenty of electrical cord. and lots of clear plastics to see whats grinding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Burr Grinder - Extremely Acceptable Price

n. · March 24, 2019

This is my 2nd purchase of this grinder, my last one lasted for over 10 years with minimal cleaning. I expect if I clean this one regularly, it will last even longer. If you factor in the extremely low price for a burr grinder, that meant I spent around $8 a year for the services this product supplied and the 2nd one was lower priced here on Bolo. So overall, benefits/price is 5 star.Advice for use:- Play around with the settings at first, its automatic as far as number of cups are concerned but its just an average. I find that since I like a stronger cup of coffee, I'll grind more beans for 8 cups than the 8 cup setting, I typically set it for 10 cups for my 8 cup coffee maker. Thats for my Bonavita which is inefficient making coffee. In my old Krups, 8 cups in the grinder gave me a good 8 cups in the coffee maker that met my strength goals. Also, play around with the grind courseness settings, I found that slightly less than medium works well for my drip maker, but that won't ring true for every coffee making style or pot.Pros:- Fast- Good, even grind that preserves the oils without excess heat- Lots of variables, you can adjust the courseness from extremely fine to very course so it should work with any type of coffee maker. I use mine mostly with my Bonavita drip coffee maker now and my Krups before. I've also used it with my espresso maker with perfect results.- Bean bin hold at least 1/2 a pound of coffee, more than enough for several pots of coffee, I refill mine from my ceramic, sealed container as needed.- Grind bin is big enough for all coffee pots I've used from 12 cup Krups to 8 cup Bonavita- Extremely reasonable price ~$50 vs $150 for similar grinders- This is a burr grinder, steel or ceramic burrs and disks (they are a flat grey color, so not sure if metal or ceramic, but definitely not plastic.- My last one lasted for over 10 years, so I have high expectations for this one tooCons:- Loud, but I don't have another burr grinder to compare it to. Not a factor most mornings, since the kids and adults all have to get up around the same time. On mornings that I'm making coffee extra early, I might grind the night before. FYI, while its grinding, I nearly always think of the scene from the Billy Crystal movie City Slickers where they decide to treat themselves to some fresh espresso and cause a stampede - if you haven't seen it, definitely find it and watch.- Plastic grind bin does have a static cling. Unlike some reviewers, I don't find it excessive and It doesn't spray grinds all over the counter, so this might be a factor of your environment i.e. humidity, counter type, electrical outlet or even the clothes your wearing that day. This does cause some grind dust build-up on the inside of the grind bin - I simply give it a couple of strong taps while the lid is still on to shake them down before I open and pour into the filter. I think a glass grind bin would probably help here. (as an extra, we have found the bean dust build up makes for great espresso cookies).- Needs cleaning, since it is not static free, you will have to clean it infrequently - not every time you use it though, so it totally depends on your usage. I use mine every day for a pot of coffee and clean the grind receptacle as needed every few weeks and the main grinder every few months. Cleaning is not that hard and its relatively easy to take apart. BTW, I never cleaned the one dbm8 I owned before and it lasted for 10 years or more - in addition, after it died I took it apart to see if it was coffee grinds that did it in or something else. What I found was darkened circuit board around a particular capacitor, so electrical failure got it in the end.Overall I think you get a great buy for the quality, resulting grind and price. There are better grinders out there, for twice or quadruple the price of the Cuisinart dbm8, but why get one that is close in price and gives you only slightly better results. For me, this grinder works great and I expect years of satisfactory service from it just like its predecessor.

This never worked. Power to the plug and unit but not to the actual controls. Sent it back for a refund.

Good grinder

Very nice

Excelente molino si quieres tener un mejor café de cafetera.

M.R. · April 1, 2020

Éste molino lo compré después de haber visto varios videos en YT, me convenció y les cuento mi experiencia después de 4 meses con él.Puntos a favor:Excelente construcción, cuenta con partes de plástico pero el cuerpo del molino es macizo y de buenos materiales.Es fácil de usar y no requiere mucho mantenimiento.El molido es mucho más consistente que con los molinos en forma cilíndrica de $400 pesos.Puntos en contra:El sonido es considerable y compite con una liquadora.El recipiente donde se desposita el café se rayó en la primera lavada, es de esos plásticos que se rayan fácilmente como el de los acabado tipo negro piano.No puedes moler cafés con muchos aceites (tueste oscuro). Yo lo comencé a utilizar con los cafés de la marca Kirkland que compro directamente desde la página de Costco y al moler un depósito completo (250 gramos) terminaba saturado y hacia que el café al final se moliera muy fino de estar forma le quitaba consistencia en cuanto a grosor. Y la limpieza al usar ésta marca de café en específico tenía que ser rigurosa debido a todo el café atorado por la gran cantidad de aceites.¿Por qué me gustó?Al utilizarlo con una marca de café diferente (SF Bay Coffee) y con un tueste mediano, el molino funcionó de maravilla aunque todavía tengo un poco el problema de la estática. Para ello mezclo 5 gotitas de agua en el depósito lleno y revuelvo el café para darle humedad, también recomendaría poner papel aluminio en la tapa y en una pared del depósito para tratar de eliminar la mayor cantidad de estática y obtener un mejor molido.Creo que no es apto para otros métodos de café pero sí eres alguien (como yo) que se levanta a las 5 de la mañana y quieres tener un café delicioso al usar una máquina de goteo, entonces te recomendaría mucho éste molino. Sí gustas usarlo para espresso, te recomendaría uno de Baratza o el modelo mucho más caro de Cuisinart que tiene pantalla y sí utilizas Hario V60, Prensa Francesa o Aeropress, te recomendaría comprar el molino manual Hario Skerton Pro.RecomendacionesCompra palillos para brochetas y una brocha para pintar pequeña, corta las puntas como 1/3 (para mayor firmeza). Con el palillo para brochetas quito todo el café acumulado donde está la aspa y termino de retirar los pequeños restos con la brocha. Te recomiendo realizar éste proceso 1 vez a la semana o cada que muelas un depósito de café completo. Yo no he tenido la necesidad de utilizar arroz precocido para limpiarlo (como se recomienda en varios lados), creo que mi método es más sencillo y sin desperdiciar arroz. Jamás he tenido aromas o sabores rancios.
