Customer Coffee Senseo Reviews
I was a little disappointed with the plastic grind hopper. Cuisinart supreme grind automatic burr I have used in the past were glass, and while I didn’t think plastic would be a big deal, extremely fine grinds tend to ’stick’ due to static electricity.
When doing longer grinds (for larger pots of coffee, etc) the motor really starts to sound strained. I’m worried that with heavy use over a few months I might have issues with it. If I do, I’ll update this cuisinart dbm 8 review.
*most* of the grinder is very easy to clean… however, inside the base there are a couple of pieces out of reach, and really fine grinds tend to collect just inside the chute that dumps the grinds into the hopper. If you grind flavored coffees (or, in my case, fresh seed spices) and need to clean it, you might be a little frustrated.

This is the second Cuisinart supreme grind automatic burr that I’ve owned. The first was the similarly-priced Capresso 551.01, which died after a couple years of use. I don’t know what the lifespan of this Cuisinart grinder will be yet, but so far I’m extremely impressed with the comparison between the two. Start with the weight, at nearly 4 pounds–it simply feels more substantial. (The Capresso is a comparatively diminutive 2 lb. 9 oz.) The casing is an attractive stainless steel (which may just be a veneer over plastic, but it certainly looks nicer than the Capresso’s black plastic) and the hopper and grind chamber are of thick, good-quality acrylic.
The Capresso had to be emptied before changing the grind coarseness, and had a small, finger-bruising wheel with which to adjust it, but the cuisinart dbm 8 entire hopper turns freely to adjust the grind, filled or not. I’m also very pleased to find that the Cuisinart doesn’t dust the countertop with a sprinkling of coffee after use, as the Capresso did. The motor isn’t whisper-quiet by any stretch, but it’s not as noisy as many home grinders.
There are only two disadvantages of this cuisinart griddler, in my opinion. First, the timer can only be adjusted in two-cup increments (minimum of 4 cups). It does this with a satisfying click, but still, I’d like to nudge the slider a bit for a weaker morning brew or a stronger nighttime one. Second, the hopper contains almost four cups’ worth of coffee below the visible area, inside the cuisinart griddler. That, combined with the grinder’s heftier weight, makes it a chore to empty it if you want to change coffees (say, if a guest requests decaf). Not only do you have to turn this brute upside-down, but you also have to turn it every which way so that all the coffee inside the cuisinart supreme grind works its way out.
