Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Cuisinart is well built and everything clicks into place, that is about the only good things about it. On the first use i was only able to use it for about 15 mins and than it went belly up. The motor stopped working and now its basically a paper weight. When I looked inside the cup i also noticed that the blade motor assembly had become undone, this product was not dropped nor did it have any damage through shipping.

During this pandemic, my wife decided to make her own curry powder. The YouTube instruction suggested that the traditional mortar and pestle was the "authentic" method for the best results. So we ordered a porcelain mortar and pestle from Amazon, and it arrived promptly. But the process of making a powder of the long list of seeds, spices, dried peppers totally wore her out and I was enlisted to help (under the guise of having more upper body muscles). I crushed and mashed and ground for what seemed a long time, and felt there must be a better way. So we went back to YouTube and a different video suggested this item. What a revelation! The hour of grinding was accomplished in about 3-5 minutes, clean up was even faster, the results were perfect.

I have used this one for a long time. This my second one I have and still very please. My first one still works well. It really is a nut grinder, a killer of nuts, haha. Really, I tested a lot and still doing the job like when I just got it. It is so good that I bought a second one to use it for my dog. I have to break her kibbles because she broke her jaw, had surgery and she cannot break her kibbles the way she used to do it. You might say what? Buy hey, is my lovely dog and it breaks the kibbles in a way that it is very easy for her to eat it. So I use it for my fam and also for my doggo. The only thing is that sounds a little bit more than I will like and compared to the pricey one from KitchenAid, but it is very easy to use, very easy to clean and if you don't might a little sound, it is going to be perfect for your house.

This product really worked my last nerve. I can’t lie but it definitely did save me when my blender stopped working and I had nuts to grind. You have to place the nuts inside this aluminum container and cover it with the plastic covering press down for it to grind and for the life of me it would not work it stopped several times as well as stop in the middle of me cooking which was absolutely frustrating, but after giving it 5 to 10 minutes each time it did that it started to work again I think moving think moving forward it will be best if I prepped to avoid the delays in the middle of cooking.

This product so far is great. I used it few time to ground spices. But make sure not to fill it out completely because if gets heated it will stop the process. However, as it cools down it will get back to work normal.

Excellent spice grinder!! I roast and grind most of my whole spices like chili, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, etc. This grinder gets the job done. I used a Krups spice grinder for many years but it recently broke down and it was a bit small. Very happy with this Cuisinart grinder. It’s a little bigger than your average spice grinder, which is great. Highly recommend it.

It is quieter than others in category and easy to handle and care. It has good enough power to grind any nuts (shell/hull less) in few amount as described in manual, Blade is not solid installed and I don't feel confident as it stays loose until placed fit on motor body. So far I don't see issues.

Easy to use and clean. Grinds spices well. Small and mighty.

Overall it’s okay. Cleaning is hassle as you can not remove the bowl. The connection is thinner. There is space between the connection and the cup, so the spice usually leaks into the top of the motor and is difficult to clean up. Also the motor is much less efficient. It starts smoking after only 15 seconds, so I have to keep starting and stopping the motor, and the spice doesn't get ground up evenly.

Works well, easy to clean and operate, stores easily. Chops enough nuts at one time for one recipe. Worth the asking price.

Cleans easy and push and go. Not a huge fan of pulse starting the blends because the cup seal doesn’t account for this operation too well but all in all i am super pleased with it!

Now, This May Sound Strange. I Purchased This Product, So I Could Grind Up Tums Tablets. I Have A 7 Year Old Yorkie, Rescue.

Everything works great except I can’t remove the container from the machine, which makes the cleaning hard. Can’t find any grinder that let you remove the container though.

I love this product, it’s small but powerful. I highly recommend this product.
