Review on Cuisinart DCC-T20 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Touchscreen - Sleek Black Design for Convenient Brewing Experience by Danielle Burton

I've seen this work for regular drip coffee or French Press. Grinding is just not acceptable for espresso. That's not very good and not even very good. I ran it on the best settings and took two shots. The first shot was fired in a big way. The second was slightly better, but both extracted quickly, were watery, and almost no foam. My knife grinder produces a more consistent grind and makes much better espresso, and the manual for it even says NOT to use it for espresso (which is why I use a burr grinder). I could see that a pressurized portafilter could be used with this grind size with some success, but I use a non-pressurized filter so that doesn't help me much. Other complaints are that it's noisy and takes a long time to grind at these settings. I haven't tried any other settings as I only drink espresso. The hopper is big and I was looking forward to storing grains in it and grinding them as needed, but at this speed and DB level I don't think I'd want to do this every day! Sounds like a saber saw. The only thing it has is a sleek look, which was a big factor in why I bought it. I don't like the way most grinder gadgets look and this one looked great next to my black Gaggia Classic Pro but sadly it wasn't meant to be.
