Those that know anything about brewing consistently great coffee understand that having the right coffee grinder can make all the difference in the world. In fact, having an appropriate grinder can mean the difference between brewing great coffee and brewing coffee that is less than desirable. Coffee aficionados know that the preferred grinder is the burr style, which utilizes a movable wheel against a non-movable surface to create a grind that is both uniform and consistent.
When it comes to buying a burr grinder there are several different brands to choose from, though there are only a handful that combine performance with an attractive price. One of the most well known coffee grinder brands is Cuisinart, a company that has built a reputation for producing quality kitchen appliances. Although they are most well known for their food processors and other chef tools, they have been building small coffee machines and grinders for many years. In fact, they currently produce several different types of coffee grinders that appeal primarily to the cost conscious segment of the coffee brewing public.

So, are these grinders any good and should you purchase a Cuisinart coffee grinder for yourself? The answer is a bit mixed. You see, these burr grinders are certainly better than any blade or "whirly bird" grinder that you might find, though they aren't as good as some of the other burr grinders from brands like Solis. They are a great option for people that are looking to spend under while still reaping some of the benefit that a burr grinder provides. On the other hand, you would be wise to invest a bit more money in a more proficient grinder that would be guaranteed to last for many years.
If you think that a Cuisinart coffee grinder might be right for you, the best place to do your shopping is through online retailers like Amazon. Although you can certainly purchase one of these grinders from your favorite local home retailer, shopping online will allow you easily compare the different models in the Cuisinart lineup. Moreover, you can get a feel for what else is out there from some of the competitors. On average, you should expect to pay between and for a grinder made by Cuisinart, which isn't bad when you consider that you will have something that will allow you to achieve the quality of grind you've been looking for.

Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill (CCM-16PC1) Overview
Elegant SS stylingCuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill (CCM-16PC1) Specifications
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
