The Cuisinart DBM-8 Burr Grinder is provides an highly consistent grind at a very reasonable price. It does have flaws, but once it is viewed against products that are 2x its price. I will caution that it is not easy to clean the "guts" of the machine so this may not be the machine for you if you plan to grind a variety of coffee styles or spices. Trust me if you burr grind fresh vanilla coffee beans and then follow it with a bold French Roast... your French Roast will have an unexpected flavor! Pros - - Inexpensive - Multiple settings for grinding - everything from fine to French Press coarse. - One-button to push then you are able to walk-away - Not much to clean - but clean-up is a snap. - 1/2lb bean capacity - Nice finish - it does not look "cheap". From the looks you would expect that it cost 2-3x the actual price Cautions- - Again, it is impossible to clean the inner-workings of the machine so you will have residual that will be mixed into your next grind. - Not overly powered - at times it seems like it is straining which makes me worry about long-term durability. - Pretty loud - I am not sure if it could be made "quiet" - Pretty large footprint - you may want to make sure that you have counter-space Final Verdict - I may change my review if the Cuisinart DBM-8 dies a quick death, but for now it has surpassed my expectations. There are better burr grinders available, but be prepared to spend considerably more money. 5 Stars
