Cuisinart DCG-20BK Coffee Bar Coffee Grinder, Black

With Cuisinart's handsome, compact coffee grinder, it's easy to always have fresh coffee made to exact specifications. It has a 2-1/2-ounce capacity--enough for 12 cups of coffee. The grinder's clean lines and teardrop shape make it easy to hold, and it runs with the push of a button. To use, simply measure coffee beans into the bowl, replace the lid, and hold down the button until the coffee is ground to the desired consistency. Both the bowl and blades are made of stainless steel. Unplug the grinder when it's not in use--the cord can be stored in the base of the unit. --Jennifer Harris

Customer Review: Excellent equipment
I am very satisfied with this Cuisinart product. Not only is the color great, but the rpm is slower than other grinders, making it much quieter. The metal reservoir is of higher quality and all of the ground coffee easily tumbles into the lid. I would recommend this product to everyone.
Customer Review: Unit is a Joke - Leaves Grinds EVERYWHERE
The engineers at Cuisinart must have taken the week off when this was designed, because it operates as if it was created by a child. Despite two weeks of daily use, I have yet to come up with a way to use this grinder and transfer the contents to my coffee filter without spilling coffee grounds EVERYWHERE. If I am lucky enough to get the grinds into my coffee maker without much mess, a new mess is created each and every time I replace the cap on the unit. Having to flip the entire unit to access the fresh grounds is a preposterous design. When I unpacked the unit (received as a gift) I thought a piece was missing - nope, it's just a terrible design. When I'm drowsily getting ready in the morning the last thing I want to do is fight gravity with a backwards product. A few other gripes: Unit's box says '12 Cup Capacity', which is strange because later in the instructions it clearly tells you that to avoid excess spillage, that you need to grind no more than 4 cups worth (8 ounce cups) of beans. False advertising! The way the power 'button' is designed, there is no way it will hold up to repeated use. Static charge mentioned by a few other reviewers is a definite problem; without it you would have a far better chance of replacing the cap after emptying without spilling additional grounds on your countertop. All in all, I don't care how well this grinder may actually grind beans because I am too busy cleaning up my countertop each and every morning.

    Bosch MKM 6003 UC Coffee Grinder, Black

    The Bosch brand's reputation for excellence dates back to 1886, when Robert Bosch founded Robert Bosch GmbH as a precision-tool and engineering workshop in Stuttgart, Germany. Today, Bosch makes a wide variety of tools, kitchen appliances, and more. The company's MKM 6000 coffee grinder is both powerful and lightweight, and will provide you with the great taste (and aroma) that only fresh-ground coffee brings to the table. It stands 6-3/4 inches high and features a 3-ounce capacity, stainless-steel blades, and an easy-to-use push-button operating system--just put the beans in, put the lid on, and push the button. The transparent lid lets you see the beans being ground, and the machine's slanted basket design makes the coffee swirl as it's being ground, so the end result is an even grind (which translates into better coffee). --A.J. Rathbun
    Price: $24.99
    Customer Review: low profile blade = great for spices
    I have had my Bosch grinder for over ten years. I cook frequently. I have also worked in the restaurant industry for over 25 years. (and most of the great kitchens I have worked in have a Bosch) The manufacturing precision, the angled grinding bed, etc all make for a great machine, but it is the low profile of the blade that makes this particular model ESSENTIAL for the home cook/chef. Look around the next time you are in Williams-Sonoma, or Target, and notice how far the blades of all other grinders sit from the grinding bed. The low profile blade means you can grind smaller batches of spices...e.g. cumin seed, or coriander seed, or fennel seed, esp. mustard seed are all very small seeds...so a low profile blade = smaller batches= less waste. Having ground spices sitting around just lets the flavor dissipate, which is why one wants a spice grinder in the first place. Buy the Bosch!
    Customer Review: The best grinder I've ever had....But.
    I used this guy for nearly a year and it performed flawlessly (I even had to use it to make powdered sugar out of regular sugar and it did it in seconds, seriously)...But the lid got dropped, from about waist level, it cracked..A month or so later it got dropped again and split in half.. I can deffinitely recommend this grinder of you're very careful and don't drop the lid...It's the only cheap thing about it.
