I had this coffee grinder for less than a year, and it stopped working. What a waste of money.

Good Little Grinder
I purchased this as a replacement for a Bodum stainless steel burr coffee grinder. That one was an absolute disaster, the static it created caused grinds to get all over the counter. This is not the best method for grinding, burr is better, but this gives me a break from my GEFU ceramic burr hand grinder. It holds a lot of beans, and it doesn't get hot when grinding multiple batches. My only complaint is the cord storage. There's an opening on the back and the manual states that the cord goes up in the opening. I haven't done that, it seems like a lot of stress on the cord. Also the price, it's actually $22 at Wegmans.

Works very well. Only complaint is that it is somewhat difficult to clean, but that is a minor issue.

Excellent Coffee Grinder
Very pleased with my new coffee bean grinder. First time owning a coffee grinder, and I made the correct choice. Easy to use, and very simple to clean.

Coffee Grinder
I got this grinder because I travel for work and wanted to be able to grind my own beans. It packs easily and works great. My coworker has a different brand and its much louder than mine.

Works well but capacity is limited...
Works well but capacity is limited to 2 coffee scoops (4T.) of beans at a time. There is a cord "holder" which is not at all convenient and adds to the bulk of the grinder, so I just wrap the cord around it.

Just Enough
Forgot to grind my beans at the store (quite a crowd that day, plus on wife’s short leash) and needed one small enough to not impact counter space, which this one did. Provides just enough capacity to fill either of my French presses.

Nice coffee grinder at this price point
For the price, this is an excellent coffee grinder. As noted, it is a bit noisy, but that doesn’t bother me at all. It does a good job of letting you select the level of grind you wish. For me, it is primarily for espresso, and it grinds finally enough to do a good job. The more course setting is also just right for French press coffee. I’ve had other grinders that cost more, but didn’t work any better, and didn’t last very long before giving up the ghost. I suspect this one will do the job for a long time to come, given his quality of construction and the Cuisinart reputation.

Good for a Couple Months
It workED fine but needs a little longer cord. However, only lasted a couple months with 4-5 day per week average usage. I won’t buy again. Today it died and I’m extremely disappointed.

Small but great
This grinder is definitely more suited for people making a cup or two at a time. (Not like me grinding half a bag for cold brew concentrate, hah!) That being said it is still a great item and easy to assemble/use/clean!

Cumbersome design to hold on to. The lid is on the outside versus on the inside and create static electricity and coffee grounds everywhere
The design is cumbersome to hold, to empty. The lid is an outy rather than inny. So static electricity creates more of a mess for the grounds once you tip it upside down to empty. I found the design difficult to hold and to empty. The style design of the container does not make it easy to hold on to to empty.

Thank you for your feedback on the Cuisinart 2.5oz Electric Coffee Grinder (DCG-20BKN). We understand how the lid design and static in the grounds container can make it challenging to hold and empty, especially with finer grinds. To help reduce mess, we recommend tapping the container gently or using a small brush to guide the grounds out, and holding the unit over a wide bowl or surface. For additional tips or assistance, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900565365 .

Looks great with my coffee bar!
I really like this little grinder! So sleek and subtle, I have it in white. It looks great in my kitchen with my coffee bar setup, and it does the job well. I like my coffee beans ground pretty fine and this grinder makes it happen easily. Highlight of this grinder is that there’s no specific way you have to align/lock the lid in order for the button to start. It’s a minor feature but one I appreciate because I’ve had other coffee grinders in the past that are frustrating to “click” or align just right before the machine will start. Just a little thing that makes my day start out easier, and on the right foot!

Love this coffee grinder.
This coffee grinder is excellent. It works extremely well, and doesn't leave coffee grounds on the counter when the top is removed. I would have preferred a slightly larger size so it would grind more coffee at one time.
