3.0 out of 5 stars Semi-Adequate, September 29, 2007

By	Daniel E. Appling - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product should be better boasting the Cuisinart name! We love our Cuisinart Coffee Pot. This grinder was very disappointing because the grinds do not evenly grind. The top grounds will not be ground at all unless you remove the lid and stir constantly, while you are pulverizing the bottom. If it had two blades, another one like one inch higher then it would likely grind better. It is easy to clean up but the pain of stirring and then pulsing sort of takes away from this benefit! It does have a handy lid to store the grounds in. My husband likes his espresso ground fine but it is impossible with this grinder.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 21, 2009

By	Lorissa Simione - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This grinder was just okay while it was fully functioning. I really did not like the size of the grinded beans, it was limited to only drip grind, never was I able to grind the beans to down to an espresso grind.
After a months worth of grinding away, the stainless cup decided to stick to the base. I contacted the manufacturer, and at their advice, I filled a small plastic bag with ice, and let it sit for an hour. After a few tries, the cup did come loose, but it was momentarily. It is too late to ship it back to Amazon for a full refund, and the manufacturer will only send me a replacment if I send the grinder to them first. Even for Twenty dollars, this unit is a piece of poo!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful grinder - not for coffee, August 3, 2008

By	Pauline Breeden "astropolly" (Chatsworth, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a terrific spice grinder. It has a fully stainless and fully removeable and washable grinding bowl so you don't have to worry about flavors carrying over. It has plenty of room for even the spiciest curry, or the largest rub. I use a burr grinder for coffee to get the even grain size, so I'm not worried about that.
