grinder is not grinding

Have you removed the bean hopper and then cleaned out the grinder and chute with your brushes? Sometimes you have to dig at the chute to get it fully cleaned out. If it's plugged though, it won't grind.Hope this helps :-). Cuisenart customer service certainly doesn't.

We had this problem the first time we used it. We had to take everything off and clean out the area where the coffee grinds are supposed to fall into the brew basket. There was so much compacted in there that we had to really dig and then use a can of compressed air (like you use to clean a keyboard) to get all the particles out. It has worked fine ever since the first time. Good luck.

Hi Rose - no, it does not have a grinder attached. I also have a grinder and grind my own beans.

Sorry this is late, maybe this can still be helpful to you. I find that I wobble along with the grinder in a complimentary movement way. I don't set it down on a surface to grind. I hold it in the air and let one arm grind and the other hand holds it, sometimes going in the opposite direction to be more efficient. I still use it everyday since I got it 2 months ago. No problems yet.Hopefully never!

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

I only had this happen when I press the knife down into the grinder too hard. If you slide it through without pushing down, it will sharpen it without stopping.

You might tighten the grind level on the bottom to a finer grind, also I have turned the handle in other direction to loosen an peppercorns, I would not think the peppercorn you use should be a problem if your using peppercorn for grinders not aware of any type not made for a grinder,

Yes, and we had the same problem with our other grinder. There is a plastic top that you cannot see in the picture that covers the top. You remove the top and turn it over to dispense.

Hi both seem brand new and the grinder is black. This grinder is HUGE so keep that in mind. It also does not grind as finely as other herbal grinders.

I believe your grind is not fine enough. I use the grinder in the grocery store and put the setting on espresso or Turkish (the finest).

Your first answer seems to cover your question pretty well. I'll add that because this is a nearly unique machine, keep up with the warranty. I don't think many local repairmen know how to service the grinder.

No, the grinder stops working about 90 days in and I send it back to Cuisinart who replaces it. I've gone through this 6 times in the last 18 months at $30 to return plus a $10 money order, I don't think it is worth it.

Ours did the same thing. My husband had to re-vamp the grinder as it was rubbing. Our first time using it was a total mess too. We thought about returning it but my husband fixed it somehow but I could not tell you for sure what he did. He is a machine designer so he could see what the problem was.....

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

I have refilled mine but its not a refillable grinder, top snaps off with some force

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.

No, so far the grinder has stayed dry. The grinder does not need to be cleaned every time it is used.

Thats about how long ago I got mine and it works fine.At first I didnt think it would work because when I put it togather I couldn't turn it by hand but then attached it to my mixer and it worked fine. It dose a lot better then the ones that come with the grinder. Hppe this helps.
