With two Cuisinart grinders the flat burrs wore out after so much use. The
burrs quit grinding because the surface became flat. I think all grinders
are like this are made in the same Chinese factory. I think the burrs are
made of metal that is too wimpy to take long term use. I don't think the
Chinese drink coffee. They're just making the product as a subcontractor for
a company with a label in the U.S.
