I received this as a gift to replace a regular electric coffee grinder. It serms to do the job well & I like the fact I can store a few beans in thr hopper & they seem to stay pretty fresh so I don't have to add beans every time I use the grinder.
One thing I have noticed is there seems to be more grounds in the brewed coffee than I would like. I got this primarily to use in reusable K-Cups for my Kuerig machine. There are instructions provided for drip, French press & espresso, nut nothing for Kuerig or other single serve or pod type machines. I'm using the espresso setting mostly, but have tried all 3. I'm not sure if I'm grinding too coarse or too fine. I would think that as popular as the single serve brewers have become that Cuisinart would include some instructions for that type of machine.
