Important Safety
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Automatic Burr Mill User Manual.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or grinder in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before removing coffee, and before cleaning.
- Avoid contacting moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized Cuisinart service facility for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Before using, check the hopper for the presence of foreign objects.
- Use this appliance to grind roasted coffee beans only. Grinding other substances, such as nuts, spices, or unroasted beans, may dull the blade and cause poor grinding or injury.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Operating Instructions

- Fill the Bean Hopper to the top, making sure that the lid closes securely. (Max fill is 8 ounces).

Grinding Times
Your Cuisinart Supreme Grind™ Automatic Burr Mill is fully automatic. There are 6 settings per grind type, and the grind chamber holds enough ground coffee for up to 32 cups. The unit is set for medium grind settings, which takes approximately 40 seconds to grind coffee for 12 cups, and approximately 55 seconds for 18 cups. When choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup selector at a higher number of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact. The opposite is true for coarse settings. You may need to set the cup selector at a larger number of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as coarse grinds are very loose. To determine the right grind consistencies and quantities, experiment with different grinds and coffee types to suit your taste.
Cleaning Storage
- Be sure that the grinder plug has been removed from the outlet.
- All removable parts are dishwasher-safe on the top rack. Do not put parts on the bottom shelf.
- Never immerse the grinder base unit in water or other liquid. To clean, wipe with a wet cloth and use a cleaning brush to clean the grind release area.
- Store excess cord by wrapping the cord around the tabs provided under the base of the unit.
- Any other servicing of this product should be performed by an authorized service representative
