[Costco] Cuisinart Supreme Burr Mill Grinder $39.99 In-Store

Deal Link:: https://www.costco.ca/cuisinart-supreme ... 83269.html
Price:: 39.99
Expiry:: April 18, 2021
Retailer:: Costco

For those of you who want to "upgrade" to a burr grinder on the cheap this would be a good option. Straight-up the reviews are mediocre at best however its Costco so if it shitcans on you take it back for a refund with zero hassle. I personally run the Oxo burr grinder and I am quite happy with it but it runs over a 100 bux. This Cuisinart grinder runs $65-$80 everywhere else.

Can this be used for grinding spices? Might be difficult to clean with every use...

It has terrible reviews from people who've owned it for over 1 year.
Might be worth waiting for a better company/model

I got a 1zpresso hand grinder due to the lack of counter space. Never looked back as it takes <30 seconds to grind daily. I’ve heard this has static galore.

I probably didn’t need it but bought it anyway

The static on this thing is insane, coffee grounds will stick to places you didn’t know even existed before. But can be solved by adding a few drops of water to the beans before grinding.

Otherwise, for this price I think it’s a pretty good deal.

I have had this for a couple of years now. The static in the plastic bin is no joke. I use it every single day, and after about 24 months I started cleaning it out every week so that it wouldn't get stuck. I have never had a burr grinder before this so I can't compare. I'm happy for the price. If it were to break I would maybe upgrade, but it has been good to me so far as a cheap entry.

I've had this for a couple years and have been happy with it. Haven't had any issues with it. I'd buy it again for $40 if I was in the market.

Huh thanks for the tip! I've had mine for a year (bought it cheap off an auction site) and it's been pretty good overall, but the static is kind of annoying.

Grinding fresh beans with this has been enough to really elevate my coffee game compared to pre-ground coffee, so not sure how much extra benefit I'd get from a baratza encore (that seems to be the top end entry level grinder). I might shell out for one down the road, but for now I find my cuisinart does the trick.

Can this be purchased in-store in Ontario right now? (or is this one of the non-essential items)

Stopped working after few months. Costco return policies are great though.

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

I've had mine for a year. Even on the finest setting I find it doesn't grind well enough for drip coffee.

Been using it for French press and it's been good.

Not to be used with espresso. Doesn't grind fine enough. Even with a pressurized basket your coffee wouldn't be the best...

I believe this particular Cuisinart has false burrs: https://prima-coffee.com/learn/article/ ... urrs/32642

I got a better Cuisinart that has real burrs from Costco a few months ago for $60 and it’s pretty good for the price; I wouldn’t recommend this one.

EDIT: this is the one I got from Costco: https://www.cuisinart.ca/CBM-20C.html?lang=en

Flat burr, it wears out fast. I got one before and hacked it till the burrs are completely flat and moved onto the Bodum Conical Burr.

I guess this is fine for herbs.

picked this up at a liquidation place for $20

had it for a few months now, and its ok. it holds a lot of coffee beans.

when it craps out, I'll upgrade to an oxo burr grinder.

the only positive about this grinder is that its cheap. its barely better than a blade grinder. you get tons of fines regardless of grind setting you choose and good lord the static. just save your money and buy a better grinder. i use it for spices now and its not even great for that.
