Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill

This is my second Cuisinart grinder, the first was identical to this one except it had a smooth rather than brushed surface. It was great but just quit after about 2-3 years. I shopped carefully for a replacement without finding anything with this capabilty that wasn't double or triple the price. This is a review of both old and new grinders. The "new" grinder was perfect except it had a tiny tweak to the stainless cover on the bottom edge on one side. Not noticeable without close examination. We grind coffee once or twice daily. Nice size hopper, holds quite a few pots worth. Timer allows you to skip the measuring, just set the timer number to the number cups, press the button, wait a few seconds, then dump the freshly ground coffee into your filter. We grind it finely and it does a good job. It's fairly noisy but not terrible. Only problems I had with the old one was the discharge area would get clogged once in a while and have to be cleaned with a sharp instrument. If you like dark roasted oily coffee beans this will happen to you too I'm sure. So overall it looks good and works well. I just hope it lasts longer than the last one. The old one just quit without warning so I'm not sure if it was the motor, some problem with the switch or a short of some kind. For the money this is a great burr grinder. Also Amazon free shipping was s-l-o-w took over a week to get here and probably 3-4 days for them to even mail it. I've used Amazon free shipping before and I didn't remember it being so slow. Compared to Newegg this is terrible. I got an order the next day with Newegg free shipping, and thats typical for them.
