Cuisinart - Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill DBM-8P1

My dad has the same grinder and i attempted to make espresso with it, it can't go fine enough for espresso, maybe for a turbo shot though

I bought this from CC Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill and you check their [coffee grinder](https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/1750/coffee-grinders) collections

I actually had this grinder for drip then started to get into espresso. There was a way that I was able to remove the hopper and modify it so that I could adjusted farther than intended. I was able to get enough adjustment out of it that it would grind fine enough for a pretty good shot. The main issue was, it was very hard to dial in. A very minor adjustment would result in a fairly drastic change in grind size. With the modification, you can get by temporarily. YMMV

I’m sure there are some fines in there too. Your grinder is creating particles all over the place in terms of size. This grinder is probably better suited for drip, not that it won’t make a muddy cup though.

I had this grinder for a bit before I realized it just isn’t right for espresso. I ended up going with a SHARDOR off Amazon and then sprang for the j-ultra. I hate saying “you need to spend money to get a good quality shot,” but in this case, spending $150-$200 on a good grinder is well worth it. Best of luck!

What's wrong w/ Cuisinart DBM-8P115-position burr-grinder? I set mine @ position-4 for drip coffee. When it's set @ position-1 the grounds are almost confectioner sugar fineness.

I had that exact grinder. Good for drip coffee, but nowhere close to being fine enough for espresso. I used a pressurized basket to get by until I bought a k4 hand grinder.

I have that grinder and it is not good for espresso unless you’re using a pressurized basket. I got a Kingrinder K6 and it’s been awesome. It’s a hand grinder but I don’t mind.

My lovely husband got me a Cuisinart automatic burr and grind machine almost 5 years ago, for my first Mother’s Day, and the grinder has just given up the ghost - just in time for Daylight Saving Time to end 😅. I drink a couple of cups of strong dark roast every morning, and also love the occasional latte or cappuccino when out, but would definitely drink them more often if I had a setup at home. My husband has offered to get me a new machine for my birthday/Christmas, and we are wondering if there’s a highly rated machine under $700 that can do all the things I want- built in grinder, good quality drip coffee, and so lattes and cappuccinos. I don’t like the pods because of all the trash they produce, but I am aware there are recyclable versions. Any suggestions? He was looking at a Ninja but the coffee expert video we watched on YouTube gave it a poor review for the drip coffee quality. Do I need to suck it up and make room for two machines on my kitchen counter?

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
