Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill vs Eureka Mignon Xl

-The grind size is inconsistent on all settings: Not that much of a problem for me but again, subjective on my part. -The grinding times are not dependable: Even when set for the longest grinding time, the burr mill would routinely stop before completely grinding the 35g of beans that I had pre-measured. Since I never relied on this feature to begin with, that this function routinely failed to operate correctly was an annoyance but not an important feature for me. The mediocre performance of this machine gave me little user satisfaction but I was at least able to make a decent cup of coffee with the fresh grounds that it so ineptly produced

Give me a break. Just couldn't win, took me 3 shots to get in range every morning. Nope.

There are some downsides to this grinder depending on the intended coffee method. For drip or French Press, works great. If grinding for Espresso or Turkish style coffee, I would not recommend. The grinder is on the loud side, so if you don't want to wake up your house mates in the morning you may want to skip this grinder

This is a great grinder. I was upgrading from a Baratza Sette 270. The Oro Mignon XL is night and day difference on noise compared to the Sette. It is as quiet or quieter than I even hoped it would be
