- It works well but LOUD!
- I am happy with it. It is loud. I put my wife's apron over it when it grinds.

- Excellent Product. Efficient. Noisy as the Dickens!
- I rated this product 4 stars, and that is due to the noise level. This thing is really noisy while doing it's business. If this is an issue, turn it on and leave the room. That's what I do.
With that said, if you grind your own beans and are looking for a great grinder in the medium price range, this is it. I had the previous/discontinued model # CCM-16 for over three years. I think I put over 200 pounds of beans through that thing, so when it started having intermittent problems, I sent it to Goodwill.
This new model appears to be different ONLY in model designation. I put this and my old one (before sending to Goodwill) next to each other and can find nothing visually different. There is one minor operational difference-this one fills up the grind chamber to almost full before turning off automatically. The previous one filled up a little over half before turning off. The new one also seems to finish grinding faster. (Maybe my imagination.)
There is a small (and insignificant I M H O) problem with coffee dust or powder. My solution? So simple you won't believe it. Just before grinding, place one or two paper towels on the counter, spray with window cleaner or water or anything wet that won't harm the counter top, place the grinder on top of the towels, making sure that there is at least a 12" by 12" section of wet towel in front of the grinder. The dust will be attracted to the wet-PROBLEM SOLVED! Throw the wet paper towels in the trash. I have been doing this for years and it works flawlessly. Also, to clean the chute, use a dry tooth brush-works like a charm.
SUMMARY: Fair price, excellent operation, efficient, small footprint, large bean hopper, NOISY! UGH! - 2008-05-30, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not bad for an inexpensive grinder
- I've had this grinder in daily use for about 18 months. The grind is good, but not great, in that there is some inconsistency - mostly that the grinder always produces a bit too much "fines" no matter what the setting. Since the grinder has a plastic box which is prone to static cling, the fines also tend to build up over time. The grinder is louder than I would like. I take the edge off that by tossing a dishtowel or two over the top. Finally, I'd like a larger capacity bean hopper. Still, for the money, it's not bad! It's a workhorse. I've never had a single problem with it, and the burrs never seem to dull. If you're looking for a reasonably-priced upgrade from a blade grinder, this is one to consider.

- excellent grinder from Cusinart!
- I have had two or three other grinders but this is by far the best. Cuisinart really knows how to put out a great product for us consumers. So now I have two wonderful Cuisinart products: the coffee grinder and a Cuisinart coffee maker to make the wonderfully ground coffee. That's why my coffee is so delicious. I am Italian and like GOOD COFFEE and Cuisinart comes through. YOU ROCK, CUiSINART!!!!!!!!!!!!!
