Cuisinart Automatic Burr Mill - Stainless Steel - DBM-8P1: 18 Settings, Electric Coffee Grinder, 32 Cup Capacity, Safety Interlock

A: Yes. Will require cleaning. The hopper rotates off. Good to brush clean and force air (blow vigorously) through the passages to remove fine particles which seem to clog the switch mechanism.

A: Yes- after 18 months the grinder broke. It has been cleaned and will not grind beans any longer

A: This item has over three thousand reviews online with a 4.2 rating. Hope this helps!

A: Yes, I've had it and use it a lot every day, past the 18 month mark and still works great. Have to clean it so it doesn't get clogged. Still works great,

A: I don't know how many volts but I don't believe it will work in Europe without an adapter.

A: It is 120 volts. I don't think it will work in Europe.

A: with a voltage converter you could use it in Europe

A: It is 120v. There are voltage converters for appliances but I personally would buy the appliance in the country you're moving to.

A: Yes! The are 18 levels ranging from ultra-fine to extra-course.

A: The grind is fairly inconsistent and you will get a lot of fines.

A: All of the settings on this grinder make "Fine" grounds. The coarse setting makes medium find grounds. If you want coarse grinds -- look elsewhere. I am very disappointed in this machine.

A: All Parts of the Cuisinart Automatic Burr Mill that come in contact with coffee are BPA-Free.

A: Great quesiton! All Parts of the Cuisinart Automatic Burr Mill that come in contact with coffee are BPA-Free.

A: Yes, there is an extra fine setting for Turkish coffee.

A: It does several different textures.

A: Yes, I suppose you could. It would be a little over powered for just regular kitchen use and much more work to clean out between spices. I use a small inexpensive grinder for spices, they usually are around $10.

A: You could, but it wouldn't be easy to clean a specific spice out of it. I wouldn't use it for that purpose.

A: The setting in front is for the approximate number of cups of brewed coffee in ground coffee needed. The top setting is for how fine a grind you want. The finer the grind the slower it will grind because it brings the blades closer together. A more uniform grind speed can be achieved by keeping the bean hopper full so it always puts downward pressure on the beans to enter the grinding chamber. All that being said it should grind the beans at the same rate as any other comparable grinder. I've had mine for over a year and find it to be the best grinder for under $100. Hope that helps!

A: You don't really want a grinder that is too fast. It builds up heat due to the speed and that can effect your beans.

A: True the white line is your guide to the type of grind you want. Align with the dots on your grinder. Good luck.

A: The white line indicates the desired grind. it varies from fine to coarse. just twist to the the dotted marks depending on how you want it ground. most coffee makers you would use the medium setting and fine form more espresso applications.

A: 11" x 5" x 7" It's a great grinder!

A: It's about 11x5x7.
