Important Notes

The Cuisinart Coffee Grinder does not come with additional accessories such as measuring scoops or cleaning brushes—only the main unit, which includes the grinding bowl, blade assembly, and power cord. It is recommended to clean the bowl and blades immediately after each use to prevent residue buildup and maintain optimal performance. Users should ensure the lid is fully closed and locked before activating the grinder to engage the safety interlock. Do not operate the grinder empty or with foreign objects inside the bowl. For best results, only use whole coffee beans and avoid adding water or other liquids during the grinding process.
