Cuisinart Supreme Grind DBM-8 Electric Burr Grinder

Pros: Cost, ease of use

Cons: Static cling, switch design and location

Review: After 30 years of Maxwell House and Folger's from the can, I decided to try my own grinding after tasting some of my daughter-in-law's brew. I opted for an entry-level burr grinder rather than spend an arm and leg on the combined grinder/brewer machine. ...

Pros: Affordable, effective, good looking

Cons: Noisy

Review: Sorry to hear someone has had problems with this machine. The one I bought does a beautiful job grinding (I only grind one batch for that morning's coffee at a time). A major drawback is noise; not merely annoying noise, but "hit the switch and run ...

Pros: Cheap, reliable, great bang for the buck

Cons: Not real attractive.

Review: We bought this little work horse about 2 years ago figuring "what can we lose?" I mean, it was a ton cheaper than the likes of the fancier brands. Well, it has held up well and keeps on plugging. Maybe some folks will complain about the "uniformity" ...

Pros: Grinds coffee good for all my needs, looks good, great price.

Cons: Coffee sticks to chamber causing allot of clean up, little noisy.

Review: I purchased this grinder so I can grind coffee for drip, espresso and french press. So far the grinds have come out good and it fits my purpose. It looks good and the cost was good compared to other grinders. Only problem is every time I grind coffee, ...

Pros: inexpensive for a burr grinder. static electricity contained.

Cons: loud. as others noted, the "number of cups" is really a timer.

Review: I bought mine a couple of weeks ago at Costco for just $30. Yes, it's loud, but so far we've had no problems. Because of the lid on the container, the grinds don't fly around due to static electricity. Hopefully it will last longer than the 3 months ...

Pros: Adjustable timer and grind size, safety features, unit size, price

Cons: Loud, some parts are hard to clean, need 1/4 full to run well

The Bottom Line: The DBM-8 Makes a nice, even ground that definitely stands out from traditional blade grinders. Expect great value for the price, but not the ultimate in coffee perfection.

Review: I’m no expert but… There are coffee ‘experts’ out there who take their java seriously. Like wine connoisseurs, there are those who, with a taste, can pinpoint specific flavors, nuances, and hints of this or that in different ...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, convenient, easy to use, looks cool

Cons: LOUD, inconsistent, can be messy, not fine enough for espresso

The Bottom Line: It's a fine unit for the money. If you really care about your coffee or are making espresso, spend some more and get a good conical burr grinder.

Review: Grind your own beans! Few things will make your coffee taste better than using freshly ground beans - fresh ground beans made a black coffee drinker out of me. Since you're reading this you knew that already. A bit about grinders ...

Pros: Easy to use, looks good, consistent grind

Cons: inconsistent grind amounts, oil from beans warps hopper

The Bottom Line: A good step up from a blade grinder. I noticed a CONSIDERABLE different in taste and quality over a blade grinder

Review: I had been hinting LOUDLY to my wife that I really wanted a burr grinder for Christmas this year. I know we didn't have a whole lot of $$ to spend on a grinder so I did my best to steer her towards a more 'affordable' grinder. I love my coffee, but I ...

Pros: It works, actually grinds whole bean coffee, more or less. Not a piece of junk.

Cons: Controls are clumsy. Care must be used to keep coffee from spilling on counter.

The Bottom Line: I have not found a better unit for the price, but the product has several deficiencies.

Review: OK, the unit works, but if you use a dark and oily French Roast coffee, you can expect it to clog from time to time, causing you to wonder if the correct amount of coffee will be dispensed. The coarseness setting also works, but can be easily changed ...

Pros: Looks cool, automatic shut off

Cons: Expensive, messy

The Bottom Line: It's great to try new things, but I would save my money if you're thinking of trying this one

Review: The best feature of this grinder is that it shuts off automatically. You choose how many cups of coffee you are going to make, slide the dial to that number on the grinder, press GO and it will grind the appropriate amount. This takes the guesswork out ...
