Noisy little gizmo that gets the job done!,

This review is from: Cuisinart DCG-20N Coffee Bar Coffee Grinder, White (Kitchen)
Just fill the bowl with beans, press the button and with a lot of noise, this coffee grinder whizzes into action! Nothing's nicer than fresh ground coffee and this Cuisinart lives up tho the "Cuisinart" name.Areas which I think need improvement are insulation of some sort, if loud, grinding noise for a few minutes bothers you. Also, this unit is not immersible, and you must clean it with a wet cloth rather than being able to dunk the unit in warm, soapy water. For this reason, I do not recommend using this for coffee and for spices, unless you are intentionally blending for flavor.This grinds quite well, however the bowl isn't large and for large pots of coffee, I've found that I must grind the coffee in two loads.You cannot see the consistency of your grind accurately, so you must open the unit and peek.

This review is from: Cuisinart DCG-20BK Coffee Bar Coffee Grinder, Black (Kitchen)
This grinder lives in my kitchen right next to my sink. It is subjected to a continual flow of crud coming out of the sink and floods from coffee spills, and sink overflows, flying dough and vegetables, the works. It is extremely sturdy, and does tend to grind my coffee just as I like.My only complaint is that it is a little hard to clean; but then I've never had a coffee grinder that was easy to clean.

This review is from: Cuisinart DCG-20BK Coffee Bar Coffee Grinder, Black (Kitchen)
Let me say I abuse my coffee grinders. The ones I have had in the past have died young because I have dropped them in a dopey morning pre-coffee daze. I have dropped the Cuisinart numerous times and it is warped on one side from me leaving it on the gas stove with the oven on...IT STILL WORKS..just as well as the day it arrived. Best purchase I have made yet and I would buy another but I don't need to.
