A smart-looking little unit, this Cuisinart coffee grinder lets you make the freshest possible coffee by grinding whole beans right before you brew. The grinder’s stainless-steel blade assembly is durable and effective, and the hopper holds 2-1/2 ounces of beans. Operation is a simple one-touch step, and fresh grounds are easy to empty into a filter or brew basket. Cleanup is quick because the lid rinses off, while the bowl and blade all wipe clean. Due to its size, this grinder is not the best fit for those who make huge pots of coffee or drink it all day long. It is suitable, however, for singles, couples, and light coffee drinkers. Measuring 4-1/4 by 3-1/2 by 7 inches, the unit includes tidy, out-of-sight cord storage and carries an 18-month warranty. --Emily Bedard

Grinds beautifully, but the switch often jams
Though this grinder does a nice job grinding my coffee beans, the switch mechanism has little margin for error. About once a week, when I try to operate the grinder, the switch will not engage and the grinder will not operate. Only after I empty the beans out and give the machine a good shake will the lid finally go on tightly and the switch will engage. I am not particularly messy. This should not happen with a 3 month old coffee grinder.
This grinder was a replacement for a seven year old Krups that I discarded due to the dullness of the blades (not surprising), but I never had a switch problem with that one, or the new Krups I bought for home. I regret not sticking with Krups.
Cute and compact just want I wanted
I love it. Compact, simple design, easy settings. Easy to use and with the container so easily used to pour out the coffee.
Excellent equipment
I am very satisfied with this Cuisinart product. Not only is the color great, but the rpm is slower than other grinders, making it much quieter. The metal reservoir is of higher quality and all of the ground coffee easily tumbles into the lid.
I would recommend this product to everyone.
