Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.

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!
For the love of God please dont get the cuisinart burr grinder ive just used it for the first time out of the box and is hands down the biggest pile of scrap ive ever seen
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
Cuisinart burr grinder is fine for brew
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.
