The Cuisinart isn't bad at all for the price. Its the best cheapest one. If you are wanting to upgrade, unless your into super clean low body coffee I might stay away from the timemore. The fellow ode gen 2 is cheaper better built, better workflow and most people will enjoy the coffee from the fellow ode better. Hope this helps!

Agree. My $70 Cuisinart burr grinder is perfectly fine for coffee at home.

Yes burr grinder- I use cuisinart and happy with grind selection but wish it was a tru gravity pot and not blowing into side chamber

It is significantly better than a blade grinder. Like an order of magnitude better. And this is coming from a grinder snob who has more of his net worth in coffee grinders than in his second car

Espresso is way way less forgiving than brew. I mean I wouldn’t recommend fruity light roasts out of the cusinart but for most mediums it would produce some really good cups

I have a cuisinart burr grinder, and I have been doing that for quite a few years now, no issues with it at all.
