Review 3 for Cuisinart Grind Central Coffee Grinder DCG-12BC
Katn
fromEast Tennessee
Needing a really good grinder for dried herbs as well as needing one for my coffee, I purchased two of these grinders. I threw some peppercorns, dried rosemary, and a few other herbs into the first grinder and was able to make the best rub I have ever tasted for a roast! I've started grinding all my herbs to "awaken" their flavor before each use. The other grinder can render the coffee beans into which ever form I need really quick. I wonder how I ever got along without these!
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity, construction, Cord length, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to store, easy to use, Easy to view/Read, Fast/ Speed, Performs Well, quality, Value for Money

collier
fromlos angeles
Never had any trouble with mine - I've had it for well over a year and use it probably once or twice a week. I intend to upgrade to a fancy burr grinder at some point, but the Cuisinart has certainly gotten the job done. Generally I fill it up about halfway and run it for 40 seconds or so, which makes for a pretty nice (and consistent) fine/espresso grind. It does tend to make a little bit of a mess - especially when taking the lid off - but aside from that, no complaints.

Works Good!
PostedMarch 8, 2011
Quick and efficient. I use this unit mostly for grinding herbs. I like that the "usuable" parts are dishwasher safe. Don't be heavy handed or your will turn what you are grinding into dust (it works that good!). I also like the see-through top.

I bought this grinder to replace my spice grinder. It is heavy duty for those harder spices and I like the fact that I can take it apart to clean. There's nothing worse then getting leftover clove dust in your cumin grindings!

The brushed aluminim exterior looks great. It's really easy to use and clean. Simple, effective design. Great asset to a kitchen if you have the space for it. I do, so it's great. Could be a little big for some though.

Almost perfect
PostedOctober 10, 2010
This was purchased as a spice grinder. The removable grinding bowl is perfect for for spices. It is easy to clean and assemble. Too bad the grinding bowl lid doesn't fit on the bowl under the cover when the machine is assembled for storage. The lid will certainly get lost in some drawer.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well
Cons: storage

very quiet
PostedJune 1, 2010
i love how quiet it is. also it is very stylish and looks nice sitting on my countertop next to the coffee maker. the great thing about this grinder is that the cup for the beans is removable and washable. i also like the markings showing how many beans to put in for the amount of coffee you want to make.

It's My Spice Grinder
PostedJanuary 31, 2010
I've been using this exclusively for spices as I have another grinder for coffee beans, and have only good to say about this product. Maybe a previous reviewer got a defective model, which can occur in any brand. Also, because of the difference in oils in coffee beans versus spices, you do want to keep separate grinders for each. It's easy clean, just dry wipe, excellent performance for my use and highly recommended.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity, construction, durability, easy to use, Fast/ Speed, Functional/Useful, Performs Well, quality

Not too shabby!
PostedMarch 22, 2008
I really love this grinder. It is easy to use and the thing I love about it most is the removable grinder cup. It's Awesome! I have had mine for a few years now and it still works like it is brand new.

Don't buy one
PostedNovember 30, 2007
I bought this item despite the first reviewer's advice about it failing after one use because I, too, have always received excellent products and services from CHEFS.
My machine actually worked twice before stopping!
Unfortunately, in order to return it and get a refund, one needs to have access to KINKOS or FEDEX STORE (mere drop box will not do).
Beware.
Cuisnart in general looks good, but the quality seems to be lacking in functionality areas.

I purchased a Cuisinart Coffee Grinder. It is a neat little gadget, even though it only worked once. I shipped it back and they are going to send me a new one. What great customer service!
