A stylish grinder for the serious coffee buff, this Cuisinart Supreme Grind automatic burr mill provides plenty of options and good results in an attractive and tidy structure. This makes it a great appliance for houses where coffee is a steady dietary staple and preferences vary from espresso to French drip. Outfitted with a heavy-duty motor, the machine has 18 grind settings ranging from fine to extra-coarse, which are controlled by a clearly marked, pleasantly clicking dial. Rotate the hopper to personal preference, and the machine does the rest, using burr plates for a highly uniform grind that protects bean oils and releases more flavor. Automatic operation in this grinder covers quantity as well--simply set the amount slide control anywhere from 4 to 18 cups. The grinder shuts off when the desired level is reached. Transfer of ready grounds to a coffee pot or espresso group is quick and tidy, because the grind chamber slides out with its clever lid in place.
Smart and elegant, the grinder has brushed stainless steel housing and black accents in durable plastic. The hopper, hopper lid, grinding burr, and grind chamber all remove easily for cleanup, and a safety feature keeps the grinder from operating without the hopper and chamber in place. Standing 6-3/4 by 9-3/4 by 5 inches, the unit has built-in power cord storage at its base. Cuisinart includes a coffee scoop/cleaning brush in one and covers the machine with an 18-month warranty. --Emily Bedard

| Summary: | Static problem |
| Comment: | I am one of the people that became frustrated with the mess created from static electricity. When opening the plastic receptacle, whatever coffee didn't stick to the inside would pop out all over the kitchen counter. Even in the summer it was a problem. Now that we are into the dry, 20 below Minnesota winter, I almost went back to buying ground coffee. I did, however, come up with a solution. I cut a half-inch strip of aluminum foil from the end of a roll and inserted about half of it into the plastic container. The remaining 6 inches was left to dangle out the front. I found that this totally resolved the static problem and the foil can be re-used forever. |

| Comment: | We really love this machine. It is so nice and very convenient. Our company really likes it also. Nothing better than fresh ground coffee! We are glad we picked this one as the burr mill is the best. Our neighbor is the person that suggested this one as they also have it and we had coffee with them and remarked how great their coffee tasted. |

| Comment: | The grinder worked great but for me after 1 month of use it seized up. Every cleaning lasts for 1 pot before the motor slows and begins to burn itself up. |

| Summary: | this grinder fell apart within a year |
| Comment: | My wife and I got one of these for Christmas. I've been disappointed with this and other Cuisinart equipment. The upper burr (grinding plate) is attached with screws to not very sturdy piece of brittle plastic of the hopper tube which broke into 20 pieces with less than a year of less than once per day use. The only fix is a new bean chamber, and that doesn't fix the burrs that are no longer sharp from grinding the plastic into our coffee. The result is too much fine coffee powder mixed with the ground coffee. I hope I just got a defective unit. I'm looking at the bunn or the kitchen-aid to replace it. |
