Review of Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill

After my Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker proved to be impossible to clean, I decided to grind coffee separately. The Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill sells for $49.99 in specialty stores, but I bought mine at Costco for $29.99. It's far from perfect, but for the price it's a good grinder.

Tips for better grinding:
The settings are not laws, they are suggestions. It's your coffee, so brew it the way you like it. After some experimenting, I found that grinding the coffee two notches finer than the manufacturer recommended, and setting the quantity to fewer cups than I was brewing worked best.

Storing coffee in the refrigerator preserves the delicate flavor, but room-temperature beans grind better than cold beans. Filling the bean holder in the evening gives them time to come to room temperature.
