THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The CBG-018 is a documented household conical-burr grinder with 18 marked positions, a separate approximate cup selector, an 8 oz bean hopper and a 5 oz grounds container. The manual describes automatic stopping at the selected amount and a manual stop button. It also gives care and cycle guidance. However, it does not weigh a dose, and its cup minimum differs between operating steps and the specification table. Maker pages list 100 W and 110 W, so wattage is unresolved for this historical row.

Consider it for

For home batch grinding with a stepped dial after confirming the CBG-018 label and accepting the stated run/rest guidance..

Look elsewhere if

Not for gram dosing, commercial or outdoor use, a precise one-cup minimum, or a hard wattage requirement based on the conflicting maker pages.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The manual identifies 18 grind positions and the conical-burr model family.
  • Bean and grounds capacities are specified separately.
  • The upper burr, removable containers and household cleaning instructions are documented.

What to weigh up

  • The cup selector is approximate and its minimum is inconsistent across manual sections.
  • Maker pages conflict between 100 W and 110 W.
  • The historical suffix and ASIN are not tied to an exact current retail unit.

What the features mean for you

Model identity and adjustment

Secura's manufacturer manual identifies the CBG-018 as an automatic conical-burr coffee grinder. Its bean container turns to select among 18 numbered positions, with 1 as finest and 18 as coarsest. The exact row title adds a -2Y suffix, but the saved sources do not map that suffix to a specific current configuration. The manual supports the base model family, not every historical listing detail. A buyer should check the code printed on the offered grinder before applying these specifications. The manual's grind chart gives starting suggestions for different brewers; it does not report measured grind distribution or demonstrate espresso quality.

Cup selection is approximate

A separate dial starts an automatic cycle according to a selected cup quantity, and the On/Off button can stop the grinder early. Secura warns that output can change with grind size and bean characteristics, so this control is not a dose by weight. The manual's operating steps describe 2–10 cups, while its specification table and product pages say 1–10; keep the minimum unresolved. No gram scale, target mass or dose repeatability is documented. A home user can treat the selector as approximate batch guidance, but a recipe requiring a measured dose needs an independent scale and should not rely on cup markings.

Separate bean and grounds capacities

The CBG-018 manual gives an 8 oz or 226 g bean hopper and a separate 5 oz or 140 g grounds container. Those are distinct capacity measures and should not be interchanged. Removing either container stops grinding, and the upper burr can be lifted out for brushing. The hopper, grounds bin and their lids are listed as top-rack dishwasher-safe, while the burr itself is not. Secura says to clean the grinding chamber after daily use and warns that fine grounds can cling from static. The manual's 88 dB figure has no stated method or conditions, so it is not an independent measured-noise comparison.

Household limits and electrical conflict

Secura describes the grinder for personal household use and says not to use it outdoors. The manual advises no more than three continuous minutes and calls for a break after two full 10-cup cycles, with at least five minutes to cool between cycles. Those are practical limits for a busy routine and do not support commercial service. One matching-title North American page lists 120 V and 110 W, while another CBG-018 maker page lists 100 W. The manual itself directs users to check the rating plate. Because the historical -2Y unit is not mapped to a precise revision, use no wattage as a hard match without inspecting that label.

Who should consider it

A home buyer may compare the CBG-018 when a stepped burr dial, separate bean and grounds capacity, and removable cleaning access are useful. It should not be selected for a mandatory gram target, a commercial service schedule or outdoor use. The manual's espresso and Turkish settings are maker guidance, not performance measurements. Noise, retention, particle consistency, durability and current Amazon availability are not established. The tagged model search can help locate a possible unit, but the historical ASIN and suffix do not prove a present listing is the same CBG-018 configuration. Verify the base model, rating plate, cup control, included containers and seller return terms.

The CBG-018 is a documented household conical-burr grinder with 18 marked positions, a separate approximate cup selector, an 8 oz bean hopper and a 5 oz grounds container. The manual describes automatic stopping at the selected amount and a manual stop button. It also gives care and cycle guidance.

Maker pages list 100 W and 110 W, so wattage is unresolved for this historical row.
