Overview
A Cuisinart flat-burr electric coffee grinder with an 18-position slide dial covering ultra-fine to extra-coarse grinds. The removable 8-ounce bean hopper and grind chamber hold enough ground coffee for 4 to 18 cups per cycle, with an automatic shutoff when grinding finishes.
Flat burr grinders are generally valued for grind consistency across a wide range of settings, which is what the 18-position dial is built around rather than speed. The one-touch power bar sits apart from the grinding unit itself, and the automatic timer cutting the motor at the end of a cycle removes the need to watch and time it manually.
- 18-position slide-dial grind selector
- Flat burr mechanism
- Grinds enough for 4 to 18 cups
- Removable 8 oz bean hopper and chamber
Who it's for
Fits a household wanting one grinder that covers everything from espresso-fine to French-press-coarse without buying separate tools for each brew method. Anyone brewing a single cup at a time with no interest in adjusting grind size would get less use out of the range this offers.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 18 grind settings from fine to coarse
- Removable hopper and chamber for cleaning
- Automatic shutoff ends the cycle
- 8-ounce hopper needs refilling for large batches
- One-touch operation only, no programmable presets
- Countertop footprint from motor housing
Performance notes
The flat burr mechanism is what gives the 18-position dial its consistency, since burr grinders cut beans to a uniform size rather than pulverizing them unevenly the way blade grinders do. The removable bean hopper and grind chamber are the parts that see the most coffee oil buildup over time, and both detach for cleaning rather than requiring the whole unit to be wiped out.
