Cuisinart DCG-20BKN Coffee Grinder1, Blade Grinder, BLACK

It is reasonably priced and does the job. no settings, grind is determined by length of time grinding. A minor thing: when the lid is on and ready to grind, on my unit you need light hand pressure, finger pressure will not start the grinding. I’d rather buy these in sequence over the years than a fancy grinder.

Needed a cheap grinder for coffee beans. This does the thing. Seems durable.

Works how it should but took a star off because the product came seemingly used with coffee grinds all over the inside.

Picked this up to have a basic grinder that I can take with me to the office or on a trip if I needed to. If you follow the time guidelines for grinding, it does provide the results that it offers (I use 10 seconds for my Keurig, 20 seconds for my French press).

I do have to deduct a point for noise, though. My wife says that she can’t really hear it from the next room when I’m grinding beans but for me, it is loud enough to be slightly annoying (your mileage may vary). As for cleaning, the interior surface makes it reasonably easy to dump my ground coffee into a container and a quick wipe-out makes it ready for its next use.

Overall, a good buy that does what you need it to.

This coffee grinder is a beast – it can handle up to 70g/2.5oz of beans at once, enough to fuel my entire neighborhood with fresh coffee! And let’s talk about its modern design – it’s like a sleek ninja in my kitchen, ready to blend in with all my appliances. The heavy-duty motor is like the muscle car of coffee grinders – it grinds those beans with power and precision. But wait, there’s more – the lid features a safety interlock, making sure this bad boy won’t operate unless it’s securely closed. Safety first, people! And the extra perks are like icing on the cake – easy-to-clean bowl, convenient cord storage, and even an instruction book for my learning pleasure. My coffee game just went from zero to hero, all thanks to this epic coffee grinder!

Terrible product. As others have said, the lid and, the pushbutton to start the grinding are very flimsy ( to say the least). In our case the unit died after than two weeks of use. ( unrelated to lid)

I cant in good conscience give aything but the lowest rating.

I have been using another small, portable grinder for several years. I had tried many more expensive grinders, like a fancier Krupp Blade Coffee Grinder ($80) and Oxo Bur Grinder ($100), but they were a lot more messy to clean up and my drip filter coffee did not taste any better. So I stuck with my $19 Krupp simple multi-purpose grinder for awhile. I decided to give this ($17) simple Krupp Blade Grinder a try. It is simple, easy to clean up, and it is better at making a coarser ground from whole beans. I use a filter paper and hand pour drip coffee technique. So I do not need a coarser ground, i.e. to say I cannot taste any difference between fine ground or a coarser ground for my drip filtered coffee. Overall, this simple Krupp Blade Grinder is better than my old simple Krupp Blade Grinder at making a coarser coffee ground from whole beans. If you prefer a French Press Coffee technique for you morning coffee and want an easy clean up then this coffee grinder could a good alternative. I would recommend it. Assuming you are just making a 2-3 cups of coffee.
