Summary: On my second Cuisinart Grinder
Comment: I bought one of these new a couple years ago, and loved it. It did perfectly, everything I wanted a grinder to do. But in less than a year, as many reviewers have posted, it just up and quit.
For the past 6 months, I've been grinding my beans in the store or using my Magic Bullet. My husband worked nights and slept in mornings, so I didn't miss the loud motor. But now that he's back on early morning shift and I'm alone in the morning at coffee-making time, I decided to look for a new grinder.
I wasn't going to get another Cuisinart, as I just don't find the quality of their appliances to be very good. But I looked and read reviews of every other burr grinder made in a similar price range (I can't afford the $200-$500 machines) and none of them seemed to have the same bundle of features, like a hopper that holds a 1/2 pound of beans, the easy dial to select fine/coarse, the auto-select amount of beans you want ground, etc. And those that did seemed to have the SAME number of complaints that they one day just quit working.
So I had just decided I would come here, take my chances, and order another Cuisinart, when while browsing in Big Lots (retail discount store) I found a refurbished one for $20. I guess it's telling that there are so many refurbished ones available. Yes, it does look and perform like brand new. It also doesn't seem as noisy as my former one but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. But it's an attractive machine and I'm really happy to have it back, I missed it. If it only lasts a year again, I'll feel like I got my $20 bucks worth.
I would recommend to anyone, save your money and a little frustration and get a refurbished and not a new one. So many people report that they just up and quit, that I bet in every case, what's been replaced is the motor that quit working in a year's time or less. So these refurbs are going to perform and last as long as brand new ones. Which probably ain't that long. But I would be happy to replace it annually for $20.

Summary: I love this coffee grinder!
Comment: This reconditioned grinder looks and performs just like a new one at a fraction of the cost. It's also much quieter than my Emide grinder. I also love that you can load the hopper up with beans, but then set it to grind specific amounts as you need them. A very nice appliance!!!

Summary: Cuisinart Burr Mill
Comment: I bought a reconditioned burr grinder and it works great. I like to dial in the amount I want and let it do the work. It's convenient to simply fill the hopper and just push the button. The downside if it has one is that it is noisy. But I am used to this since all grinders are noisy. Just leave the fresh ground coffee in the container till you need it. Its small enough to push to the side and out of the way of your counter space. Very easy to use.

Summary: Stopped working after 13 months (purchased new)
Comment: We bought one of these new from Amazon and it was okay for a little over a year. Then it simply stopped grinding. I called Cuisinart customer service and was told not to even bother shipping it to them for repair because Cuisinart didn't repair them. Another piece of shoddy merchandise that ends in the trash because it didn't stand up to a year of infrequent and careful use. There was a time when the Cuisinart brand meant something. I don't feel that way any more.

Summary: Pretty Good Grinder
Comment: After reading the other reviews, I was a bit dubious about this purchase. My reservations were unfounded. This is a pretty decent grinder. It is on the loud side, but a pot of Starbucks Pikes Place blend ground in this grinder is just outstanding. Even one of the cheapy blends from Sams Club tastes loads better using a burr grinder. If you are using a blade grinder (which I have used for 20 years), get yourself a burr grinder and you will never go back. Merry Christmas!
