Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder, Silver,1 Count (Pack of 1),DBM8U

I was excited to try this grinder because it supposedly offers adjustable grind settings — from coarse to fine. But in reality, there’s almost no difference between them. I started with the medium setting, but it already seemed too coarse. So I tested every setting, one by one. To my surprise (and disappointment), the grind looked exactly the same at nearly every level all nearly identical. Even the finest setting, which you'd expect to be suitable for espresso or moka pot, was barely any different from the coarsest. It’s honestly hard to tell if the dial is doing anything at all. This makes the grinder virtually useless for anyone who brews with precision. If you're hoping to use different grind sizes for different brewing methods (pour-over, French press, espresso, etc.), this is not the grinder for you. Total letdown. Would not recommend.

Ne fonctionne pas correctement en France car il est importé de Grande-Bretagne et nécessite un adaptateur pour se connecter à l'électricité: cela doit être mentionné dans l'offre, nous pouvons donc décider avant d'acheter.

A great machine, still going strong after several years of use. Nice coarse grinds available for a 70s percolator and intermediate settings are great for cafetiere. Not fine enough setting for my new ROK hand press espresso maker; however a simple modification is possible by making a plastic shim to bring the grinding burrs closer together. Here's how. Remove the bean hopper completely (spin anti-clockwise)to reveal the attached upper burr. Remove the 3 small screws taking care not to damage their heads and the burr can be removed. Draw around the inside and outside of the burr on a very thin plastic sheet such as a strawberry punnet or margarine tub lid. Also mark the 3 screw holes. Cut out this ring shape and drill out the 3 screw holes. Place your shim between the hopper and burr and re-attach the 3 screws firmly. Easier than it sounds! IMPORTANT: re-attach the bean hopper to the unplugged machine and stop at the first course setting. With the grounds tub removed, spin the lower burr (visible in the outlet chute)with your finger to check for free spinning movement. Gradually click the hopper round to finer settings, spinning the lower burr each time. You will reach a point where the burrs just touch and will no longer spin by hand. Go back one click on the hopper and mark this as the finest setting on the machine- NEVER go beyond this setting or you will damage the burrs. What a difference for my ROK hand press! It should help other espresso machines too and saves buying a different grinder. Of course, you have lost the most coarse setting. To restore it, I bought a second hopper (complete with lid and upper burr)from customer services for £10 delivered. (Most parts are available promptly at reasonable price). I hope owners and prospective buyers find this information useful. 2022 UPDATE: Yes, this grinder is still going strong without any problems, 12 years on. I did buy a new plastic grounds tub as the original got rather scuffed-very easy and quick from customer service. I now drink Hario V60 pour-over style coffee so don’t need the fine grind of an added shim on the burr. Yes it’s noisy and a bit of a faff to clean completely but easily fits into the ‘good enough and reliable’ category with spares available. Happy brewing! ☕️

Excellent

It's ok. It can make a fine enough grind for my espresso machine, which is good. I just really am over the whole thing where the grind is so statically charged that you have to literally scrape it off the sides of the plastic container to get it out. Makes a mess every time. Dropped one star for that. But for the money, I think this product is good.

Lo trovò utilissimo e fuzionale
