Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill

Freshly ground coffee is the best kind to use when brewing. You, as much as any other coffee loving person, would know that. Choosing grinders, however, is a dilemma that a lot of people have a problem with.

When asking any a coffee expert about this concern, they’ll tell you that won’t matter if you choose a burr or a steel blade grinder, because they both grind coffee beans just fine. The only difference is that burr grinds produced by burr grinders are more consistent that in steel blade ones. Also, there seems to be an issue with the ground beans tasting more burnt in steel blade grinders than in burr grinders. The only thing that puts burr grinders at a disadvantage is the fact that they cost more than steel-bladed ones.

But as I dug through many a burr grinder, I found that the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill has found a way to make burr grinders more affordable. For less than $50, you get a burr grinder of sturdy, quality make.

Like any other burr mills, the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill produces uniform grinds every time. Its sleek stainless steel finish makes it a stylish piece of machine to put on your kitchen counter.

In terms of grind consistency, you have 18 settings to choose from, ranging from ultra-fine to extra-coarse. Its grind chamber which can hold enough grounds for 32 cups of coffee is removable, making it easy to clean.

It is a power efficient machine, having an auto shut-off function when it is done grinding the beans. Its heavy-duty motor can make you the perfect grind each and every time. Also, it comes with a scoop, so transferring from the grind container to your filter is easy and not messy. A cleaning brush is also included so you can brush off leftover grinds with ease before you wash it.

Burr grinders of this price and functionality is kind of hard to come by, so I recommend that when you see one, take advantage of it and buy one for your home. You definitely won’t regret it.

  • I really like this Cuisinart grinder. I've had it for over 3 years, use it almost every day, and have never had a problem. I use it for espresso and french press coffee. Maybe I'm not "a discerning" coffee drinker, as one reviewer put it; whatever - it seems fine to me. And much better than any blade grinder I've ever used.
  • First off, the grind you get from a burr grinder is superior to a blade, hands down. This grinder makes a superbly uniform grind, and the fineness/coarseness is easily adjustable. For the price, this is an excellent burr grinder. Highly recommend it for your average coffee drinker. If you are grinding things finely, grinding spices or flavored coffees, or grinding lots of coffee, read on for important details.
  • I love coffee. good smell
  • Enjoy coffee with cuisinart.
  • I had one of these, I loved it, but it died 6 months after I bought it, so I got another one, same thing happened. Now I have the Black & Decker, it is not as easy to use, but it still does the job.
