Does anyone here have any experience with the Cuisinart burr grinder ?
Would it be acceptable for press pot or, perhaps for electric drip?  I have
read conflicting reports ("two thumbs Up;"  "boo. boulders and sand,"
"acceptable for one's everyday coffee," etc.)  I regularly use a Maestro
Classic, and would not change, but just wondering if there is any merit in
this one, say, as an inexpensive gift to my daughter's significant other (I
had given him a nice manual grinder for his birthday-an old Italian one-and
it is now producing metal shavings in his coffee; so I want to replace it
but am on a budget).

While it's what I use I must say it doesn't produce a consistent grind
unless you've got it set for talcum powder.
That being said, I use mine every day for my vacuum pot.  I'm not likely to
get anything new till this one wears out (it's been grinding daily for 4
years now) because my wife is the frugal sort and just doesn't love coffee
enough to understand that the grind consistency might have anything to do
with the end cup.

I have one that I bought prior to my epiphany of coffee and I have found
that for grinding for drip or French Press it works fine but that is all
I use it for any more.  
if that is the type of useage I say it is a step up from the whirly
blade grinder.  the finest setting is still in the drip range not the
espresso range at all. in large grinds you do get some bean dust with
the grinds but for Drip or FP I'd say it works.
YMMV

My mom is just starting to roast, and all she had was an old manual.  I got
her the Cuisinart for mother's day and she loves it.  I work at a shop that
sells them so I got it for really cheap.  I use a Bodum Antigua which is
still pretty cheap, and a way nicer grinder.  But my mom really enjoys it.
Bear in mind however that she has just recently gave up drinking Folgers and
bought an IR2.

I recently just switched the Cuisinart burr grinder for a Baratza Maestro.  I
can definitely say there was a noticeable improvement in my french press
coffee.  The amount of fines I find at the bottom of a cup are slim in
comparison to the Cuisinart.  I didn't get the plus model so it was only ~100
on ebay.  After using both, I would say spend the extra money if you can and
get the Maestro, you won't be disappointed.

i bought my mother one to replace her blade grinder.
its easy to clean and adjust, a little loud for my taste, and probably cant
handle large loads (huhu), but it performs well, and gives a decently
consistent grind for FP and drip.

I have had mine (Model # CCN-16PC) for about two years and it is a  
good performer even for grinding small batches.  I use the manual  
override switch alot to continue grinding after the auto function  
stops to get the remaining  beans in the chamber.  I do have to set  
it near the fine range to get the grind I prefer for drip as the  
other settings seem way too large.  There are always going to be  
"better"? more expensive models but for the price you cant beat this

I just figured it out (through a search):
The Hebrew phrase, alev hasholom ('Peace upon him'), is used when referring
to dear departed friends or relatives.
We (my Italian side) do a similar, "God rest her [his] soul" whenever we
mention someone who has departed.

No reason you should recognize my mom's name, especially since I  
didn't even mention it. I guess the reason I said "alev  
hasholom" (for our Gentile listmembers, Hebrew for "may she rest in  
peace") was that I called her "Mom;" I wasn't aware that it's  
improper to say that without specifying an actual name; she passed  
away in 2006 and I still miss her terribly, which was why I  
reflexively add the phrase. Sorry if I committed a religious faux pas.

nope, no faux pas with me.   Mom is indeed her proper Title.  her name 
only used when introducing her to other people.  this is to give them a

and none was intended by my reply. Hope you weren't offended, either.
Keeping this on topic, anyone ever have great coffee in Israel?  Got  
some nice shots once from the Rancilio 2-group at the bar at Kibbutz  
K'far Giladi.  But I'd found most places without espresso machines  
will serve NescafĂŠ (!!!) unless you asked for "cafĂŠ filter," =
in  
which case you'd get a carafe of hot water, a cup and a plastic  
disposable filter containing a paper packet of what I thought was  
just ground coffee (but found out later has a little instant added-- 
just like those Folger "coffee singles"--as a flavor booster).

I never did get regular drip there--things may have changed since  
'92, but all there was available back then was either Arabian/Turkish  =
(yummy), espresso/cappuccino, NescafĂŠ (which everyone referred to =

provided a sumptuous "milchik" (dairy, fish, and vegetarian)  
breakfast buffet that is practically a brunch, and all offered tea,  
"cafĂŠ filter" or NescafĂŠ.

alev hasholem  (~) = Peace be unto him/her.  It's not a name, but rather 
something said after one mentions a loved one who has died. It's Yiddish.

uh, it's Hebrew, not Yiddish.  Yiddish, a form of High German  
(ironically, it's a vernacular language, so one'd think it'd be "low"  
German) is heavily influenced by and sometimes incorporates Hebrew  
pronunciation and expressions.  What may lead to the confusion  
between the two languages is that Yiddish is (actually, more like  
"was") spoken by Ashkenazi, or Central/Eastern/Northern European  
Jews--who in turn used a more German-influenced pronunciation of  
Hebrew in the liturgy (e.g., "Shabbos" and "Sukkos" for "Shabbat" and  
"Sukkot").  The pronunciation used in Israel is the "pure" Sephardic  
(Jews of Asian, African and Mediterranean origin), which is now  
embraced by practically all Reform and most Conservative  
congregations worldwide so that Jews who visit or emigrate to Israel  
will be better able to communicate in Hebrew.

Couldn't it be both?  According to my goyische understanding, Yiddish 
is a conglomerate language of mostly German, with heavy doses of 
Hebrew, Russian and various Eastern European languages.. This could 
be one of those Hebrew phrases, nicht wahr?

alev hasholom- Not her name, but I think it's a deep loving term for one
asleep in death.
