With 4 coffee drinkers in my family we brew a lot of coffee. I've had this same grinder for about 5 years, used it probably a couple times a week to grind/fill a big glass jar w/locking air tight lid. Like the big 18 cup grinding cup size. But, it's started to wear out where the shaft with spinning blades wobbles in the bowl, letting ground coffee into the base/drive area. Still grinds, just a little messy there. Looked for just a new grinding bowl. Only Cusinart seemed to sell them separate from a new grinder for $28 plus shipping! Cheaper to simply buy a whole new grinder w/free shipping. So, I did. Now I have a new grinder and backup lid and motor assembly. Love the BIG size grinder, pretty quiet too compared to others. Happy brewing!

The fact that the bowl removes to dump the coffee makes it easy to use. However, the blades in the bowl are not sturdy enough for long life. The blade broke in my previous unit after about 5 years and the bowl cost more to replace than to buy a complete new coffee grinder. That being said, I replaced the grinder with a Cuisenart that is the same as my old one.

This grinder is the third one we have used - a larger Cuisinart and a Krup preceded it. This one is by far the best. It handles oily beans much better than either of the others, and is the quietest of the three. It is also the least trouble to clean. My only complaint is the intake bin is small. Wish I could get beans for 12 cups in a single load. Otherwise, a near perfect product.

We've moved on to a burr grinder for our coffee, but replaced the base of our old Cuisinart—it lasted 15 years before giving up the proverbial ghost!—to be used as a backup and as a very fine spice grinder.
