Cuisinart DBM-8

The Cuisinart DBM-8 is the perfect conical burr grinder for anyone who is minding their budget. It doesn’t have that high-end cache that CBM-18 has, but it does offer incredible value. Good value and a wonderful price were two common themes I came across during my research on this coffee grinder. “I don’t believe there is a better one in this price range”, is the best way one owner described it.

This coffee grinder features a black and silver color scheme that fits in well with stainless steel appliances found in many modern kitchens. This Cuisinart coffee grinder looks so nice that you’ll just want to leave it on the counter beside your coffee maker. It certainly is compact enough to fit on any kitchen counter, at only 6.75 x 9.75 x 5 inches. If you don’t have the space to permanently leave it on display, you can easily store it on a pantry shelf since it weighs very little.

The Cuisinart DBM-8 is the best coffee grinder this company offers for someone on a budget. It has adjustable setting for both grind levels and quantity. That means you will get the correct quantity of beans ground to the proper size for your coffee maker. This is a conical burr mill grinder, so you’ll end up with uniformly ground coffee; something that’s critical to achieving the best flavor.

This conical grinder features both adjustable settings for grind levels and quantity. So you’ll get the right amount of beans ground to the correct size for your coffee machine. The burr grinding mechanism provides for uniform grounds and optimum flavor, exactly what you want from your coffee grinder. I like that its 18 position grind selector covers the entire range, from ultra-fine to coarse.

Cuisinart Burr Grinder

This is a burr grinder that thinks, so you don’t have to mess around with figuring out the right amount of beans to grind. You just fill the hopper up with coffee beans and adjust the setting for the number

of cups of coffee you need. It will determine the correct amount of beans to grind. The large hopper makes it very convenient; you can load up enough beans for an entire week. The DBM-8 also sports an automatic shutoff so you never have to worry about leaving it on.

While researching this product, I did come across a couple of minor complaints. A couple of people commented on how this particular coffee grinder was not the easiest appliance to keep clean. Depending on your definition of neatness, this may or may not be a problem. Another point occasionally raised concerned the noise level of the machine. Noise is kind of subjective so it’s hard to judge how valid this concern really is. All grinders are noise, that can’t be helped. Since it’s only on for a short while, I don’t imagine it will be that big a deal. What’s more important is how well it grinds coffee, and that’s where this machine really shines.

The Cuisinart DBM-8 is the ideal choice for anyone who wants a conical grinder at a reasonable price. It’s half the price of the company’s high-end model CBM-18. You’re going to find it very tough to get anything better in this price range.  However if you can afford it, it’s worth considering. You can read my review of the CBM-18 here on CoffeeWriter.net
