coffe mill was like new works great company easy to deal with price good shipped timely will definately buy from this company again

I love it! I use it several times a day, every day and its awsome.

Most reviews say that this grinder is very noisy. It is. However, grinding coffee isn't exactly a quiet activity. It does do a great job of grinding coffee. I like that I can put a little or a lot of coffee beans in the hopper and grind the amount that I want. I can also select what size grind I want. As long as I get my coffee ground and perked, I'm a happy camper!

I purchased this item in July. It worked wonderfully for 2 months, approximately 4 uses, and then 4 cups into grinding coffee one morning, it DIED. Now I have to deal with returnig it. Don't waste your time or money on a refurbished machine.

Since buying this item and after "playing with it to get it right" I've finally found something that let's me actually brew a cup of good coffee that I don't have to add anything to. I love it. Well worth it.

This is a great coffee mill - it is well made, attractive, grinds fast and compared to similar grinders, rather quiet. Highly recommended.

This was the best find for me, I like Cuisinart but they are always so darn expensive, but when I found this at the price I got it, and a Cuisinart at that and such a great product, well, i was pretty impressed, and still am. This is a great grinder, Amazon always comes through.

I bought this to try a burr grinder instead of my old blade grinder. It's a lot of machinery for $20, but probably best suited to grinding larger quantities of coffee than I use in the morning (six cups). It's so loud that I close my kitchen window so I won't disturb the neighbor (seriously). The ground coffee sticks to the sides of the clear plastic bin and has to be scraped off, although this may improve with use and washing of the bin. Grind seems to be consistent and suitable for my drip coffee maker. Bottom line, the blade grinder is much simpler to use and the coffee tastes the same.

The good thing about this refurbished product was the low price. It is very noisy and the controls are not design for convenience. The timer shuts off before the load is processed. It is also too large and heavy for just a coffee grinder.

Not only looks beautiful, works better than any grinder I have ever used, Settings for amount of cups and strength. Holds 8oz. coffee and has separate place to pour ground coffee. No more pouring beans for every pot!

Excellent value compared to other units available. The grinder has been used each day since purchased with no apparent problems.

Delivered in first class condition. Worked first try. Best electric coffee grinder I have purchased in the last 5 years.

It should be 11" high x 5.5" wide x 6.5" deep. I was shocked to see how big it is. (The product dimensions listed for this product ar 4x4x7.)

We received the coffee grinder in very good condition and ground our Kona coffee beans that same day. It did a great job.

I'm generally pretty confident when I see products like this that are labeled factory-reconditioned. Confident because in most cases the manufacturer will individually test their returns before putting them back out for sale. In this case I think the manufacturer must have skipped testing/recertification. I say this because both the grinder that I ordered and its replacement were defective.

The first grinder was completely dead on arrival. Amazon has excellent customer service and was kind enough to cross ship a replacement. Unfortunately the second was defective as well. I've decided to go ahead and keep the second defective grinder because I can live with this defect, and because I don't care to deal with returning it yet again on the forlorn hope of getting a better example. The replacement grinds about two and a half times as much coffee as you tell it. This isn't that big a deal for me. I simply set it for 4 cups when I want to make my usual 10. Setting it for 10 cups nearly emptied the hopper (25-30 cups worth of beans). I prefer a medium-course grind and so far it delivers exactly what I'm looking for.

My rating:
Quality control: 1 Star
Grind quality (medium course setting): 4 Stars
Amazon Customer Service: 5 Stars

Conclusion:
If you can deal with returning defective products until you get lucky enough to find a good or good enough example then you sure can't beat $20 for a burr coffee grinder. The problem is that if the manufacturer's quality control is this sloppy it's pretty hard to put much faith in their products' longevity.

I have been wary of "reconditioned" items in the past, but this item works perfectly. Works great at a great price.

Makes grinding my coffee easier, with its large capacity and ability to preset amount. I moved up from a simple blade grinder, and maybe am not that picky about the grind quality, but don't see any faults with this -- particularly for $20!

I have using the mill of coffee and it does not to say in the specifications of the page the product, has many faults, one of them is that in the position mas thin the wished quality is not obtained, it it is necessary to pass several times until the coffee bean comes moller, another fault is that is obstructed where the grain happens(passes) when you grind a lot of coffee. Definitively this product is not what they say of...

This arrived in excellent condition and works beautifully. We are extremely happy with it. It is definitely a superior coffee burr mill.

I have been buying whole coffee beans for years and could never justify $100 for a grinder such as this and I was very happy to see this refurbished model for only $20! It says the hopper holds 8 oz of beans, but I was able to fill it with 10 oz. of beans with no trouble. You simply twist the clear bean hopper to the desired grind, which ranges from espresso to medium to course and everything in between. With my old cylindrical grinder I could never get a true course grind for french press. I also enjoy medium and finer grinds for my standard coffee maker. What I have found with this however is that it can grind a bit more than your selection. This will be apparant when you use the included coffee scoop to measure per cup. You will have to fine tune your grind and cups to suit your taste, but once you get that down it's truly a pleasure to have freshly ground coffee beans at the touch of a button. One last comment, and this will sound "Monkish" but the clear bean hopper has a square format so if you turn it and leave it on anything other than medium grind it will look off center on your countertop. It would have been better if the hopper was a perfect circle so it would always look centered.

I bought this grinder as an upgrade for my old Mr. Coffee grinder, only to realize that it's not better at all. My major complaints are:
1. Uneven grind. I can get both very coarse and very find grinds when I set the grind to be coarse, LOTS of sediments when I use the grind for French Press.
2. Grind bad for Espresso. The finest grind is too coarse for espresso.
3. Very loud.

To be fair, this grinder looks nice. The brushed stainless steel is beautiful, but it simply does not do the job well.

The grinder is easy to load and easy to empty unground beans so that a different blend may be ground. The settings are easy for the size of the grind but a little difficult for setting the amount to be ground. Overall, an easy-to-use convenient appliance.

This product works very well. Being reconditioned has not been a problem. It works very nice. I recommend it.

This is the 5th coffee grinder that I've owned & it's the best! I love that I can grind up to 18 cups at a time. It lost one star because I would prefer the top be as slim as the base to take up less room on my counter. Consistent, fast & easy. Love it!

The mill was a good buy and has performed well since purchase. However, a caution. When changing the number of the cups of ground coffee, a person with large hand may prematurely touch the start bar and get an amount more or less than desired.
Upon examinining the burrs I concluded they were made from a die cast metal, possibly zinc. I would not expect they would last as long as my previous Kichenaid Mill that gave good service for 35+ years.

So far this piece works great. You can preset the amount of coffee to grind, but it would be better if this selection was more fine tunable. I either have to grind a little less, or a little more coffee than I would like.

This is my second unit I have purchased since my first one only lasted about 6 months. I called to late and the warranty had expired so Cuisinart would do nothing for me. If this unit lasts a reasonable length of time, then I give it 5 stars, but based on my first one, I have to downgrade it. But as you can see, I liked it enough to buy a second one. Though I have to point out, Cusinart does not follow through with very good customer service.

I have used this grinder for a month and I am very pleased with the performance. The footprint is just right for my limited countertop space. The results from grinder are wonderful and my coffee has never tasted this good. I only make drip coffee at home so I cannot attest to the grind for espresso.

We have used this for about 1 mouth. Its very easy to use and does a great job of grinding coffee. For the price you cant go wrong.

The product is great! I love that you can set the degree of grind you can dial in from very fine to course.

I researched all the burr type glinders so much since our 15 year old Braun brand glinder finally broke. We paid $60 for it 15 years ago.
I was going to buy the same one since it's been great but this one was nice looking, less expensive, and had good reviews, I deicded to buy. Actually this one glinds a lot faster and quieter.(maybe it's new) I really love it!
My husband who is pretty picky about the details, he is happy as well.
I first tried to buy La Pavoni brand and it was out of stock, then I ended up buying this and I lucked out!

Believe it or not! I'm getting fine and consistant espresso gring with this machine! I had to shim up the stationary burr to get it to work and since the unit has plastic (how COULD they?) threads you must NOT put your hand on the feed hopper while grinding or you will destroy the burrs. The threads allow a little movement and this could result in internal damage when running as close as is needed for a good "ristretti" grind. Bottom line is it will work. Shim the burr about .003 (piece of paper), adjust the fineness VERY carefully while the unit is running empty and listen for any sounds of interference. DON'T try to go any finer. A couple of clicks up from the death rattle point should make good espresso. Not for the faint of heart and keep the kids away. Oh yes, one more thing, your warranty is void.

I purchased this coffee grinder for my office. While I was researching the different coffee grinders available in the $30-$50 price range, I was very interested in this one because it is actually a $100 coffee grinder that is being sold at under $40 because it is refurbished. Normally I don't deal with refurbished items (especially electronics and appliances), but decided that it was worth it in this case because it would be purchased under Amazon's protection, which I trust completely. The only negatives I saw in the reviews of this product were the noise, which is irrelevant in my case because the grinder would be used at work where everyone was, presumably, already awake; and the mess made when transferring the ground beans from the grinder receptacle to a storage container, which is absolutely true. I had assumed that I would be perfectly capable of a smooth and mess-free transfer, especially since the scoop that comes with the grinder has a brush on the other end to assist with the bits that stick to the side of the receptacle. Well, I can't do it, and neither can any of my co-workers. We sprinkle the counter with coffee grounds every time. Oh well. The grinder is still worth it for the taste (and smell) of freshly ground coffee, not to mention the time and aggravation saved from being able to grind coffee in small batches at work instead of in bulk at the store where we purchase it. (Plus it forces people to wipe down the breakroom counter, which otherwise almost never happens!)

All in all, a good buy for frequent use and large batches (the capacity is much greater than most grinders you'll find at this price --perfect for large households or small offices where 2 or 3 full pots of coffee are made at once).

For the price it's great! I wish folks would make appliances out of metal instead of plastic, they just seem to last longer, so with that said I think this product is pretty nice. It looks good, has a fairly small footprint and does everything it says it will. It was a good bang for my buck!

I bought this because I was looking for a burr grinder and didn't want to spend a fortune. This Cuisinart grinder works very well, far exceeding what I expected for the price. I 'm not an espresso drinker so I can't comment on how fine a grind it will do, but for coffee beans I've used almost the full range of the settings (curiosity if nothing else) and there is an obvious difference in the size of the grounds. The coffee doesn't have a "burnt" flavor since the beans aren't getting overheated by blades so I'm able to make my coffee stronger without needing antacids later. It's very easy to use, although a little large to stick in a corner of a cupboard. All in all, a great grinder!

I have had this grinder for just a few days, but have to say overall I love it. In particular I like how easy it is to set the coarsness of the grind an the volume and just hit a button and walk away.

There is one item that is clear in the instruction booklet however. The bean hopper (holder for the beans) can be removed and placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. I couldn't for the life-of-me figure out how to get it off. Well, you simply turn the bean-holder counter-clockwise until it unscrews. This is not intuitive because turning the holder left or right also changes the coarseness setting.

Caution - empty the beans out of it first or they'll wind up all over your counter! (I shouldn't be permitted to do anything mechanical before having my morning coffe!

Also, depending on the fine-ness of the grind you select, it will produce a slightly higher or lower volume of cofee. For instance, I found that the medium coarsness setting, set on 8 cups, actually produced enough coffee for 9 or 10. I found that the slightly finer grind 2 clicks of the dial-away, (which worked better for a metal filter) produced exactly the right amount for 8 cups. After your first batch you'll get the hang of it.

What's nice about this is once you know what amount and fine-ness to set, you can just dump the coffee into your coffee maker rather than having tomeasure it out a spoon at a time.

The re-conditioned grinder comes with a 90 day warrantee vs. a longer warrantee for a new one.
