Review on Cuisinart Stainless Steel Conical Burr Mill: Compact, Programmable for Precision Grinding by Tiffany Tucker

After reading countless reviews from customers and other sources over the course of 2 weeks, I finally settled on this one. We usually drink ground coffee, but for the past year and a half we have preferred to grind the beans ourselves. We just used a bladed food processor to make our Kona blend and while it tasted great, the first time I used this slower cone grind I actually found the coffee tasted a lot stronger. And I was skeptical and didn't expect big changes, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is very easy to use, rotate the base to choose the grind and choose the number of cups on the digital display, press "start" and it will show the time you need. 12 seemed a bit strong for our drip coffee maker and 10 seemed to be more popular with everyone, it depends on the variety of beans you use. As for static electricity in the trash can, yes, but tapping it like others have suggested before pulling it out seems to help, and the humidity in our house is about 35%. I've found that it's best to pour it into a coffee filter and then place it in the coffee maker. If you have a plastic coffee maker it's possible that the difference in static between the grinder and the coffee maker could cause the ground coffee to fall apart like it did to us the first time, so this is my solution! Noise is fine, more than I would like in the 80dB range which is loud and I have mild hearing loss and tinnitus so avoid exposure to loud noises. It could be quieter, but for 25 seconds of use, it's bearable.
