Cuisinart 12 Cup Classic Coffee Grinder, White, DCG-20N

For the price, this is an excellent coffee grinder. As noted, it is a bit noisy, but that doesn't bother me at all. It does a good job of letting you select the level of grind you wish. For me, it is primarily for espresso, and it grinds finally enough to do a good job. The more course setting is also just right for French press coffee. I've had other grinders that cost more, but didn't work any better, and didn't last very long before giving up the ghost. I suspect this one will do the job for a long time to come, given his quality of construction and the Cuisinart reputation.

I really like this little grinder! So sleek and subtle, I have it in white. It looks great in my kitchen with my coffee bar setup, and it does the job well. I like my coffee beans ground pretty fine and this grinder makes it happen easily. Highlight of this grinder is that there's no specific way you have to align/lock the lid in order for the button to start. It's a minor feature but one I appreciate because I've had other coffee grinders in the past that are frustrating to “click” or align just right before the machine will start. Just a little thing that makes my day start out easier, and on the right foot!
