I’ll be honest: I’m not a coffee snob. Give me a cup — pretty much any old cup — and I won’t complain. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a particularly good one. And as any actual coffee snob will tell you (trust me, I’ve talked with a lot of them), your coffee is only going to be as good as your beans. And your beans won’t be any good at all if you’re not grinding them yourself right before brewing.

Unfortunately, most decent coffee grinders, even those made specifically for home use, cost a very pretty penny — we’re talking hundreds of dollars. So to figure out which models are worth the investment, we asked baristas, roasters, and coffee-shop owners about the versions they keep on their own kitchen counters (and sometimes in their suitcases because apparently good coffee never takes a vacation).

If you’re still not quite convinced a coffee grinder is something you should put so much hard-earned money toward (ahem, me), don’t worry: We’ve included a few more affordable options that are still very much pro-approved.

Best overall | Best less expensive | Best even less expensive | Best for filter brew methods | Best quiet | Best with an integrated scale | Best with an integrated timer | Best for espresso | Best less expensive for espresso | Best durable | Best retro style | Best professional quality | Best manual

Grind consistency: Every expert we spoke to noted that burr grinders (which break down beans in a kind of milling action) are better than blade grinders (which act more like choppers). As someone who has a barely used blade grinder sitting shamefully in the back of a cabinet, I concur. Will Pratt, owner and founder of Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, Maine, explains that with burr grinders, all the beans pass from the top of the machine to the bottom, meaning they end up a uniform and precise size as opposed to getting “thrown around like they’re in the dryer.” Joanna Lareau, café manager at Stumptown Coffee, agrees that blades are a haphazard method, leaving you with some coffee that’s “overextracted” (quite bitter) and some that’s “underextracted” (quite sour). Plus, she says, “with burr grinders, you can tinker until you find what tastes good” for whatever coffee maker you use.

Noise level: Whether it’s at your own pre-coffee expense or your sleeping partner or roommate’s, early-morning noise is pretty universally unwelcome. Almost every grinder makes some, but we categorized each as either “loud” or “quiet” depending on which way it leaned — and went into more detail in the description of each.

Price: As noted above, these aren’t cheap. But with coffee grinders, cost is relative, denoted by the number of dollar signs. $ means it costs less than $100, $$ means between $100 and $400, $$$ between $400 and $800, and $$$$ above $800.

Baratza Encore Electric Grinder

$170

Burr | Loud | $$

As a brand, Baratza came up in our reporting more often than any other. Some favor its higher-end models (more on a couple of those below), but nearly a dozen of the coffee aficionados we spoke with recommended this more affordable option, highlighting its quality performance and solid build — especially for the price. “It’s simple to use and super-consistent,” Lareau told us. “I’ve had one for almost three years now, and it’s still amazing.” Humberto Ricardo, founder of Third Rail Coffee, adds that Baratza machines are “designed to be repaired instead of thrown away should something break, which is good for my wallet and for the planet.” And speaking of repairs, Pratt noted Baratza’s great customer service. “When you have to replace the burrs every few years, they make it incredibly easy to do so,” he says.

Elliott Foos, director of coffee at Daymoves in Brooklyn, told us he used the Encore at work when he used to run the coffee shop attached to chef Flynn McGarry’s Lower East Side restaurant, Gem. “It’s intuitive and performs wonderfully,” he says, “grinding from fine espresso to the most coarse setting for French press or cold brew.” (The Encore has 40 grind settings, so you can easily adjust to whatever you’re looking for.) While he acknowledges it can be a little loud — or a “touch chatty,” in his words — Foos says that’s to be expected for a grinder made of plastic and designed for the home.

Burr | Loud | $

If you’re not quite ready to take the plunge on a model upwards of $100, the Krups Precision Grinder is a very solid place to start. It comes recommended by Paul Schlader, owner of New York City–based Birch Coffee, who promises it has the essentials: 12 settings for selecting your preferred grind size and a “cup selector” dial to grind the exact amount of coffee you need for the number of drinks you’re making.

Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill Grinder

$50

Burr | Loud | $

If you don’t drink coffee every single day (or, like me, you buy pre-ground beans most of the time), you might not even want to spend as much as $100. This $60 grinder from Cuisinart is one of the most affordable on the market with burr-style blades — and works totally great, at least in my experience. It’s quite intuitive to use: You simply fill the chamber with beans (it can fit nearly a whole pound at once), set the dial to any of the 18 settings between fine and coarse grind, set the number of cups you are planning to brew (though you won’t need this if you pre-weigh the amount of beans you put in in the first place), and press start. Most of the pieces are removable and dishwasher-safe, and it stores well; it’s rectangular and compact, with a place to wrap the cord underneath.

Eureka Mignon Filtro Coffee Grinder

$209

$209

Burr | Quiet | $$

Matthew Kang, editor of Eater L.A., likes the Eureka Mignon even more than the similarly priced Baratza because he says it has better grind consistency. The catch is that it only mills on the coarser end of the spectrum — meaning it’s great for methods like pour-over, French press, and Aeropress, but not espresso. But the grinder is “strong, durable, and powerful,” Kang says, breaking down whole bags of coffee at a time with its bigger-than-average 50-mm. flat burrs. Kang does note that the machine only has a small dial to change the grind setting and a tiny button on the bottom to start the grinder without any timers. But he also says that doesn’t matter — in the end, “the beans will be ground more consistently, resulting in better-tasting coffee.” This grinder certainly makes some noise, but as you can see in this video, it’s quite a reasonable level — especially for this price point, as the pro testing it points out.

Fellow Ode Brew Grinder

$299 now 15% off

$255

Burr | Quiet | $$

When it came out a little over a year ago, Fellow’s Ode grinder was all the buzz among professional and amateur baristas alike — so much so that it prompted associate editor Louis Cheslaw to try it out and write an extremely favorable review, noting in particular that at its very loudest, the grinder sounds “like crumpling up a newspaper. ”

But its appeal goes beyond noise control. The Ode combines fast, consistent, and typically commercial-grade flat-burr grinding technology with a compact size and the thoughtful design details that Fellow’s other tea and coffee products are known for (here at the Strategist, we’re particularly fond of the company’s electric kettle). “They really thought about every detail,” says Jerad Morrison, co-founder and co-CEO of Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco. “The dial that adjusts the grind size is very intuitive. The cup that catches the grind is magnetic, so it clicks into position tightly and easily. The machine even has a button that shakes out any residual chaff” — the leftover coffee skins that mostly come off during roasting but usually not all the way — “into the cup instead of blowing them out onto your counter, which happens with other grinders. ” (For what it’s worth, when I checked back in with Cheslaw, he noted that he did sometimes find excess grounds on his counter but that he might have misunderstood the correct button — and, regardless, that it’s a “small price for quieter grinding.”)

Oxo Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder With Integrated Scale

$300

Burr | Loud | $$

Schlader loves this Oxo grinder for a number of reasons, but chief among them is its “built-in intelligent scale” — which means you won’t lose extra money or counter space buying a separate one. The feature “simplifies the process of grinding coffee for your average home brewer and cuts down on equipment,” he says. Enter the number of cups you’re going to brew and your preferred coarseness for whatever coffee-making method you employ, and the grinder spits out exactly what you need. “It’s an incredibly thoughtful product,” he says.

Baratza Virtuoso+ Conical Burr Coffee Grinder With Digital Timer Display

$250

Burr | Loud | $$

If you’re looking for a grinder with a timer (or if you’d just like a general step up from the Baratza Encore), four of our baristas praised this model. You can set it to grind for a specific time, turn it on, walk away, and come back to beans that are never overground. (The Encore, by contrast, must be stopped and started manually.) Ricardo says it’s fast and relatively quiet.

La Marzocco Lux D Coffee Grinder

$995

$995

Burr | Loud | $$$$

The grinder is on the pricier side, but according to Morrison, it’s worth it. “Most grinders claim they can get a fine-enough consistency for espresso,” he says, “but that’s just not true.” The Marzocco, on the other hand, was made specifically for espresso and espresso alone. It’s high-quality enough to be used in many coffee shops but is still a good investment at home if you’re a serious espresso drinker. “For espresso preparation, a mediocre grind is a nonstarter,” says Morrison.

Niche Zero Coffee Grinder

$570

$570

Burr | Quiet | $$$

Several times a year, Cary Wong, a member of the Partners Coffee education team, attends trade shows to try lots of new products. This grinder left such a lasting impression that he still recommends it years later. The Niche Zero is a stepless grinder, which means you have infinite grind-size settings as opposed to having to choose from predetermined ones. That feature, Wong says, “really allows you to grind fine enough coffee to make great espresso.” While it’s only single dose, that makes its footprint smaller than most — ideal for if you have limited counter space or want to store it in a cabinet. “I also love that it comes with a nice dosing cup with a perfect size for your portafilter,” Wong says, “which makes it easy and allows for no mess.” Other pluses he points out are its sleek design, well-built construction, and the fact that it’s quiet, “perfect for early-morning coffee drinkers.”

[Editor’s note: The Niche Zero is priced in pounds, so the price shown is an approximate conversion to U.S. dollars.]

KitchenAid Burr Coffee Bean Grinder in Silver

$319

Burr | Loud | $$

Jamie McCormick, co-owner of the East Village coffee shop Abraço, swears by this KitchenAid model. “It grinds at an insanely consistent particle size, right up there with my shop’s Mahlkonig EK,” a commercial coffee grinder that costs over $2,500. In addition to the top-notch technicals, it’s “very sturdy.” How does he know? It still works fine after being dropped on a concrete floor at the roastery about five years ago. “It looks totaled and unusable, but it still purrs, no problem,” he says. One potential downside to take into consideration, according to McCormick: “It is loud and sounds like the machine it is.” Naama Shefi, founder of Jewish Food Society, also calls this model “strong,” using it every day — sometimes multiple times a day — to brew coffee in her moka pot.

$330

Burr | Quiet | $$

Smeg makes many particularly attractive, retro-style appliances (we’re talking everything from refrigerators to toasters). And while we would never urge you to buy something just for looks, Kang says its coffee grinder is super solid, the one he has been using nearly every day at home for the last year and a half. Kang owns it in pastel green, which he says “looks really adorable with its 1950s design.” But he also points out that the grind consistency is good, the container captures most of the coffee dust, it’s easy to dose a specific amount, and the hopper is big enough for almost a pound of beans.

Baratza Forte BG Commercial Coffee Grinder

Burr | Quiet | $$$$

If you are in fact ready to take the plunge on the very high end of the coffee-grinder spectrum, it doesn’t get much better than the Baratza Forte BG. The word commercial in the name is an indicator; it’s intended for extensive daily use in restaurants and cafés. For one, it’s virtually silent. For another, “the grind-by-weight feature is incredible,” says Reagan Petrehn, specialty coffee consultant and former branding lead of Felix Roasting Co. Petrehn adds that he loves its capabilities across the board, which allow him to use it “both for espresso and pour-over” and change his grind settings as he goes.

Burr | Quiet | $

In an entirely different category are manual grinders. The Porlex — an updated version of one that a couple of our experts noted was great — features the same burr-grinding method as the electric models on this list, but you have to do the work yourself. Although it may sound strange to take a technological step backward, manual grinders have plenty of fans. “It’s great to travel with or to gift someone if you don’t want to assume anything about the setup of their kitchen,” says Caroline Bell, owner of Cafe Grumpy in New York City. “It’s easy to adjust, and the grind size is really consistent.” I think this would be a good pick for someone who doesn’t make coffee every single day.

Varieties of coffee grinders, advice on choosing a coffee grinder, prices

You have no doubt heard the expression: "If you're going to do something, do it well. " "Good" is subjective and depends on the situation. In this case, we will talk about grinding coffee beans. The taste of coffee depends on the type of grinder and the quality of its work, so it is very important to choose the right tool.

Of course, you can just buy ground coffee at the grocery store, so you don't have to put in any effort or wait. Why not just stop there? It comes down to whether you want to drink, just a good cup of coffee or the best coffee that could be brewed. nine0003

Contents of the article

Why make your own ground coffee? nine0065

In short: because of the taste! Coffee gets its flavor from the oils found in the roasted beans. In order for the coffee to taste better, these oils must be released evenly. To use the beans as efficiently as possible, you need to get the best coffee grinder.

If you are a coffee connoisseur like us, you probably spend a lot of money on a coffee machine and coffee beans. However, you may have overlooked the importance of a coffee grinder, as it plays a huge role in getting a decent coffee taste. nine0003

What is a coffee grinder for?

This tool does more than just make it easier to grind coffee beans. With the help of a coffee grinder, you can change the consistency of the resulting ground coffee. The choice of grinding degree depends on the method of brewing the drink.

French press? Drip brew? Aeropress? The coffee grinder can be adjusted so that the resulting coffee is ideal for the coffee machine. Depending on the coarseness of the grinding, a different taste can be obtained. You can test this out for yourself by tasting the full range of flavors that come from one type of bean. This is another reason why choosing the right coffee grinder is important. nine0003

Before choosing a specific model, you need to decide on the type of coffee grinder you need.

Burr grinder or blade grinder?

Coffee grinders grind beans in two ways: with blades or burrs.

Of course you know how blades work. They just cut things. But is this method of grinding coffee really that effective? What is a millstone? How do they work? More importantly, are they better than blades?

Burr grinders

Millstones are rubbing surfaces with grooves. In contact, they crush and literally grind the grains, and do not cut them. Thanks to burr grinders, you can get different grinds. In the context of grinding, particle size is very important.

[attention type=yellow]By adjusting the distance between the burrs, you can achieve different grind textures and particle sizes.[/attention]

Burr grinders are best for the professional barista and we highly recommend them. Using a burr grinder, everyone will understand how to achieve a uniform release of oils and get the right taste. nine0003

Knife Grinders

A blade that looks like propellers on an airplane (by the way, sometimes such coffee grinders are called propeller grinders) mercilessly cuts beans. Blade grinders produce a less uniform grind. That is why the final taste of coffee obtained from a knife grinder is inferior to grinding millstones.

[attention type=yellow] However, knife grinders do their job effectively. This is a very reasonably priced option. In addition, the grind obtained with this device is of better quality than store-bought ground coffee.[/attention]

If you are not yet ready to switch to a burr grinder, you can try it out in the store. As soon as you see the difference, you will rush to get a burr grinder, because then you will be preparing more delicious coffee.

Automatic or manual grinder?

In a world preoccupied with momentary pleasures, wasting time doing something as simple as grinding coffee beans seems like an unnecessary obstacle on the way to a cup of morning coffee.

If you want to achieve the best taste in the shortest time, or just want to sleep a couple of minutes longer in the morning, choose an automatic coffee grinder. They are both millstone and knife. You can choose the one that suits your budget. nine0003

However, good things come to those who wait for them. While using a manual grinder will slow down the process, the hand-ground beans add a rich flavor that is nearly impossible to achieve with an automatic grinder.

Best Automatic Grinders

Don't get us wrong, we value high quality automatic grinders. They definitely have advantages: speed and convenience. You can simply pour in the beans, press the button and relax while waiting for the grind. No hassle or hassle. nine0003

8. Cuisinart Supreme Grind burr grinder

For the money, this model is quite high quality. It will fit very well into the kitchen interior. When you start using this coffee grinder and learn about its features, the price will seem even more reasonable.

With 18 grinding levels you can make coffee for 4-18 cups. No matter how much coffee you need or how picky you are when it comes to grinding, this small grinder can be just what you need to get amazing coffee taste. nine0003

Estimated cost: $39.34

7. Baratza Vario coffee grinder with flat ceramic burrs

This is a professional coffee grinder that has all the features you need to make ground coffee. The number of grinding degrees is 230. This model is also equipped with digital timers, thanks to which you can make a certain amount of coffee.

54 mm flat ceramic burrs guarantee perfectly homogeneous grinding. Whether you're buying a coffee grinder for commercial use or just getting serious about homemade coffee, this device will impress you either way. nine0003

Approximate price: $479.00

6. Breville Smart Grinder Pro

This model is more affordable than professional coffee grinders, but is not inferior to them in terms of functions. For example, this grinder has multiple grind settings (60 to be exact) and digital timers, making daily grinding easier.

If you're ready to take the art of coffee almost to the professional level, this grinder is for you. nine0003

$199.95

5. Proctor Silex Fresh Grind Blade Grinder

With this model, we're back to basics. This is a simple, compact and durable coffee grinder with stainless steel blades. Here you should not try to look for different degrees of grinding.

However, here's a simple tip: if you want finely ground coffee, try shaking the grinder in the middle of the process. It's hard, but it helps. This model is affordable and more reliable. This is a great choice for coffee lovers on a budget. nine0003

Estimated cost: $19.50

4. Quiseen One-Touch Knife Grinder

This handy device has been made as easy to use as possible. You just need to pour coffee beans and press the button. Voila! Ground coffee. True, this model lacks the advanced features found in more expensive coffee grinders.

If you don't need complicated settings, but still want to grind your own beans, choose this model. It has several advantages: a fuse and a built-in storage compartment for the power cord, which saves a lot of space. nine0003

Estimated cost: $19. 95

3. Baratza Encore Conical Chute Grinder

The Baratza Encore is considered the essential grinder for coffee lovers. This model has 40 different degrees of grinding.

The good news is that the motor cools the beans if they grind too long. Yes, this device is more expensive than many other simple coffee grinders. But the price corresponds to the quality: the settings are like those of professionals.

Estimated cost: $139.00

2. Capresso grinder 560.01 Infinity with conical grooves

This grinder has 16 different settings, allowing you to try all the different grinds. For example, for a French press, it is recommended to use coarse ground coffee. No problem.

This grinder can be used to grind beans into dust, which is useful when making espresso. The device allows you to create coffee of any grinding. The coffee grinder has a built-in timer, and it can withstand up to 230 grams of grains. nine0003

Estimated cost: $89.95

1. OXO On coffee grinder with conical grooves and built-in scale

If you are familiar with the OXO brand, you probably know that they make quality products. This coffee grinder is no exception. It has a built-in scale that allows you to use the right amount of coffee beans and not waste them. The model has 38 grinding settings: from coarse to fine.

Low speed high torque motor will not overheat grains. Additional protection is provided by a built-in overheating sensor, which prolongs the life of the device. The automatic stop guarantees the exact amount of coffee produced. nine0003

Estimated cost: $197.99

The best manual coffee grinders

Manual grinding of coffee beans is an ancient tradition, because it was with this method that the history of coffee art began. Cowboys of the Wild West often crushed beans with the butt of a pistol, and the resulting grounds were thrown into boiling water to get cowboy coffee.

Union soldiers needed to use their gun barrel as a coffee grinder to enjoy their morning coffee.

Fortunately, today's manual coffee grinders are easy to use and the manual grinding process is seen as an option, not a necessity. Besides, the weapon is no longer useful.

8. Kalita retro coffee grinder

Kalita products are ideal for beginners who have just started grinding coffee by hand. This is a regular coffee grinder with ceramic burrs, and the degree of grinding can be adjusted. This device, of course, will not be your last: this coffee grinder is not as powerful and durable as other models. However, it is good enough to start grinding by hand. nine0003

Estimated cost: $32.18

7. Norpro Manual Grinder

If you're going to grind coffee at home, this reasonably priced, old-school coffee grinder can be a great choice. The degree of grinding is adjustable. There is also a storage box. This model has a vintage feel to it, so it can become a kitchen decoration when not in use.

Estimated cost: $16.49

Estimated cost: $30.90

5. Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Grinder

This Japanese stainless steel grinder emphasizes compactness and ease of use. It is ideal for practical coffee lovers who often go on trips. This minimalist coffee grinder can do anything from fine espresso to coarse French press. In addition, it is compatible with AeroPress, which makes this model as convenient as possible.

Adjustable ceramic burrs have 18 grind settings so you can enjoy espresso, pour over or French press coffee, even in the middle of the woods. The mechanism is strong enough to handle the spices. True, it should be noted that in this case it is better to purchase 2 such devices so that coffee does not give off spices! nine0003

Estimated cost: $16.98

3. 3e Home Manual Coffee Grinder with Ceramic Burrs

If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing device with a sealed storage compartment and easy grind adjustment, this is your option.

Thanks to the presence of paired ceramic millstones, coffee can be ground on the go; there is a storage compartment. This coffee grinder can be kept in a kitchen cabinet or in a suitcase. We think this is the best simple manual coffee grinder, perfect for those new to the art of coffee. nine0003

Approximate price: $39.50

Whatever type of grinder you choose, you are already on the way to making delicious and enjoyable coffee. Your work, love and time will make this drink special.

Don't forget: the quality of the coffee grind depends on the taste of the brewed coffee. That is why it is necessary to treat the grinding of grains responsibly, with respect. Enjoy your future coffee creations.

Happy coffee making!

Top 2 best burr coffee grinders

The grinding process by such a mechanism is based on grinding the kernels between the installed burrs. The gap between them affects the fineness of the grind. Metal structures are more commonly used. Ceramic tools are also found, but they are less practical because they are prone to chipping. nine0003

The burr grinders are the choice for frequent coffee drinkers. They are more powerful, so they can work much longer. It is these units that are built into coffee machines with a cappuccinatore that can quickly prepare the required number of mugs with a drink.

Kitfort KT-717

✔ Capacity 230g.

✔ Motor 200W.
