Works quite well. I use it to grind coffee for cold brew, which is a courser grind, and you can’t find that anywhere. Easy to clean as top portion detaches for pouring and cleaning.

I have loved my previous cuisinart products but I recently go this bean grinder thinking it was an upgrade from my previous model but I wish I would’ve just kept my old one. This one is very messy. Coffee grinds get everywhere. It’s noisy too. I wish I could return it but I didn’t keep the box :/

Very easy to use. I like the storage capability so I can grind a full container of beans, use what I need and save the rest for next time.

Overall, the grinder is very nice. My only issue is with ground coffee spilling out of the metal container. Once you remove the container, you have grounds to clean up, no matter if you only fill with beans below the max line. The grind power is great.

Almost great. Works fine, love the design, but unless you press the grind button in a very light, specific way, grinds will fall out of the cup. Would love to use this all the time without having to clean up spillage every fourth or fifth time.

Noisy and does not grind fully in the recommended time for automatic drip coffee makers. I figured out by trial and error. Some beans (Starbucks) take longer than others.

was great for coffee- as expected. tried to grind peppers-and herbs- came up a bit short. the blades arn’t sharp enough. good coffee though

Surprisingly quiet! I actually avoided using my new grinder for weeks fearing a harsh sonic blast right after waking. I was so wrong to worry!

Grinds well but coffee dust spills out the sides every time.

Blade is very dull. Getting to an espresso grind takes a full minute and is still not fine enough. Spills coffee all around, what a mess.

It was difficult to use at first, as you are limited to how many beans you can grind at once. It is also a little bit cumbersome to clean, as many of the grinds will fall out and get everywhere if you decide to do a couple rounds at once.

We really appreciate the removable stainless grinding chamber. Works well, and is ba good bargain in comparison to the competition. OORAH!

A very nice little grinder with enough power to get the job done. My one minor complaint about it is that it leaks finely ground powder a bit from the hub of the cutters, which collects in the removable cup cavity in the body of the motor. It is a bit messy and I would prefer a much tighter fit and seal around the cutter head.

I really like my new Grind Central coffee grinder. For a blade grinder, its much quieter than my previous one by another manufacturer. Pros: i can grind more coffee beans, which i do a weeks worth at a time. Cons: if i grind too many, the beans are not ground thoroughly, leaving larger bits of coffee. Also, there seems to be a lot more grounds left in the grinding cap cavity, which in turn, tend to fall on to the counter instead of the canister or filter.

I like this simple little machine – it does a fast clean job every day & grinds coffee beans to my taste perfectly.

Very good pricing. Compact. Does t grind all the beans.

I am a little disappointed in this. I have to really keep grinding to get an even grind. There are two types of grinders – a bur and a blade and from what I have read, the bur is far superior.

Grinds well but makes a bit of a mess with grounds everywhere

Quality, easy to use and nice contemporary look. The price was good too.

The cover doesn’t fit as tight as my previous Grind Central so a small amount falls out.
