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

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.

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

$60

$60

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

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 now 7% off

$278

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.]

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to Choose a Drip Coffee Maker: Helping You Determine Your Criteria

The traditional drip coffee maker is a familiar household appliance for home users and office workers alike, as the drip coffee maker is most commonly purchased for coffee brewing in the office.

Travelers will also remember that coffee from a drip coffee maker can be purchased in many Scandinavian countries (for example, in Finland), and you can find such coffee not only in cafes and gas stations, but also in much more unexpected places. So, for example, a drip coffee maker can stand in the most ordinary second-hand store, so you can literally get a cup of coffee for reasonable money without leaving the fitting room.

The main complaint about drip coffee makers is also well known: the most common negative is usually formulated as “the coffee is not strong enough” or, even more radically, “this is not coffee, but some kind of slop”. Running a little ahead, we will inform you that in this case both the quality of the device and the lack of qualifications (or greed) of the barista, who poured insufficient coffee into the filter into the filter, can be “guilty” in this case. Finally, let's not forget that in some countries they traditionally drink weak coffee, considering this a variant of the norm.

Classic drip coffee maker

So, let's see what drip coffee makers are and how to choose the best model for your purposes.

First, let's take a look at the main physical characteristics of our instrument. These include parameters such as case material, power, volume of the flask (jug), etc.

Drip coffee maker device

Drip coffee maker is the simplest device among the entire family of coffee makers. coffee brewing equipment. It consists of a water heater (a plate for heating a coffee pot is mounted on top of it), a water tank and a compartment for laying coffee. Management is carried out using a fairly simple electromechanical board. Although nuances are possible here - you can find more advanced models, or you can - equipped with a single on / off button.

When the appliance is turned on, water from the tank enters the heater, where it turns into a mixture of hot water and steam and rises through the tube to the coffee compartment. The rest of the steam condenses into hot water that flows down and seeps through the coffee under natural pressure. After the water in the tank runs out, the heater continues to work, thus switching to the mode of heating the finished drink.

What conclusions can we draw from this information?

The first (and most important) is that the drip coffee maker is designed to prepare one type of drink, which is called “filter coffee” or “real americano”. You can immediately forget about words like “espresso”, “ristretto”, and even more so “cappuccino”. Even an ordinary geyser coffee maker will brew a much stronger drink than a drip coffee maker.

The second conclusion follows directly from the first: if you drink exclusively Americano, then it makes no sense for you to consider more expensive and more complex coffee makers (for example, carob). Brewing strong coffee, then diluting it with boiling water is not a good idea (including from the financial side).

Specifications

The drip coffee maker has several characteristics that it makes sense to pay attention to literally at the first glance at the model you are interested in.

Body material

Most drip coffee makers are frankly inexpensive devices, and therefore their body is in most cases made of food-grade plastic. More expensive models can be found in a plastic case, hidden under metal sheets. Such coffee makers look more respectable, but the metal case is of no practical use: it in no way contributes to more adequate thermoregulation and does not affect the quality of the final drink.

Capacity and design of the water container

The water container usually has two requirements: it must be large enough to make the required amount of coffee at a time and it must be easy to clean. In practice, this means that the container must have a lid for topping up water, and the container itself must be easily removed in order to wash it (and this will inevitably have to be done from time to time). It is not bad if the container is in the line of sight, which will allow you to visually control the level of the remaining water.

Flask material and volume

The flask (jug) of drip coffee makers is usually made of glass. Its volume corresponds to the volume of the water container (a full container will make a full flask of coffee). On the flask (as well as on the container for water) there are usually marks that allow you to measure the right amount of water in the cups (although these marks do not always correspond to the standard volume of cups). The jug is equipped with a spout and a plastic lid. It should be remembered that if the jug accidentally breaks, then in many cases this will mean the need to purchase a new coffee maker: due to the presence of a special anti-drip system, you most likely will not be able to use a jug from another model or another improvised container.

Standard jug for drip coffee maker
Filter material

The filter in drip coffee makers is used to prevent ground coffee from falling directly into the drink. Most devices are equipped with a reusable nylon (rarely “gold”) filter. The "golden" filter is in practice made of the same nylon coated with a thin layer of titanium nitride: it is considered easier to clean and more durable.

The reusable filter must be removed from the coffee grounds and washed after each use of the appliance.

Anti-drip system and nylon filter

Disposable paper filters can be an alternative to the reusable filter. They come in different sizes and are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12, which roughly corresponds to the number of cups (servings of coffee). Most often you can find filters #2 and #4. "Two" is suitable for coffee makers with a volume in the region of 600-900 ml, "four" - from a liter and above.

Disposable paper filter

The disposable filter does not need to be washed: it can be carefully removed and disposed of with the coffee waste. Naturally, the filters are replaceable (if you wish, you can abandon the reusable filter and switch to disposable ones).

Heater power

Most drip coffee makers have a power of less than a kilowatt, which, however, is not a disadvantage: the device starts working after the heater has reached the required temperature, and the power required directly for heating water is not so high. Although, of course, it will be more difficult to meet a high-powered coffee maker that does not heat the water strongly enough than among low-powered models.

Anti-drip system

Drip coffee makers are equipped with an anti-drip system that blocks the flow of coffee when the jug is removed. This system is implemented with the help of a special "faucet", which is pressed by the lid of the jug. Of course, it will not be possible to completely avoid leaks: a few drops will inevitably fall on the heating platform.

Automatic shutdown

Drip coffee makers are designed in such a way that they spill the entire volume of water from the tank, after which they switch to the mode of heating the drink, which lasts an average of about half an hour to an hour. So you will have to follow the need to manually turn off the device only if you do not want to use up all the water from the tank.

What if it's more expensive?

More expensive drip coffee makers can provide a much larger range of options. The most interesting and useful of them are the functions of dosing a portion of water and the presence of a built-in coffee grinder. It is no secret that any coffee drink will turn out better if you use freshly ground beans for its preparation. And therefore, if you drink exclusively Americano, then it is quite logical to combine a coffee grinder and a coffee maker in one appliance and thus save space on the kitchen table.

It is especially pleasant that some models are equipped with real burr grinders, which allow you to quite accurately adjust the degree of grinding of grain. At the same time, the price of such devices may turn out to be relatively low (commensurate with the price of a separate coffee grinder).

There are also simpler knife grinders, which, of course, affects the quality of the finished drink not for the better.

When it comes to adjusting the volume of water, most of these devices will allow you to set the amount of water "in cups" at the rate of 120-130 ml per cup.

The presence of such features significantly improves the overall impression of the operation of the device: ready-made coffee from beans can be obtained by pressing just a couple of buttons, while there is no need to ensure that the water in the tank is filled exactly as much as necessary.

Less "smart" models can offer a delay start function, thanks to which you can program the preparation of a drink at a specific time. It is clear that this function does not relieve other concerns (grinding coffee, filling in the required amount of water, etc.).

Conclusions

It would seem: if all drip coffee makers have similar functionality and brew approximately the same coffee, then what is the problem of choice? We poured the right amount of coffee, poured as much water as needed - we got a drink. It turns out that not everything is so simple.

To begin with, we mention that the cheapest models can be equipped with an unsuccessful water supply design, as a result of which part of the coffee in the filter does not enter the water jet and simply does not brew. This problem is rare, but sometimes it does occur. Frankly "Chinese" coffee makers can bring the taste or smell of plastic. This problem is also not very common, and in some cases is eliminated by several idle starts of the coffee maker.

But what happens often is an insufficient level of water heating, and it is not possible to predict this problem by insufficient power of the coffee maker: this “disease” occurs both in not very powerful appliances and in coffee makers with a power of about a kilowatt (which in theory should be more than sufficient). At the same time, some devices "cunning", bringing the drink to the desired temperature already in the jug. It is clear that such belated heating is no longer able to affect the taste of coffee.

Recall that the temperature of the water at the time of contact with coffee should be 93 °C. The preparation time of the drink should be from 4 to 8 minutes. And if we can influence the time of the strait by increasing or decreasing the grinding of grain, then compliance with the temperature regime is beyond our competence.

Kettles for making coffee have a built-in thermometer for good reason.

Especially strong "underheating" is manifested when preparing small amounts of drink (1-2 cups). This problem can be partly corrected by pre-spilling water (that is, warming up the coffee maker before starting to make coffee), but this requires additional time and re-topping of water, which is ultimately recognized as inappropriate.

Alas, it is impossible to identify this problem without going directly to the operation of the coffee maker. Unless, by referring to the reviews and comments of those who purchased the model of interest earlier. Alternatively, you can trust the brand in the hope that the manufacturer with a big name will not release a frankly bad device.

As a final note, drip coffee makers are best at making coffee corresponding to the "average" volume of the jug. According to the recommendations of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), the ideal coffee in a drip coffee maker, according to these recommendations, will turn out if you take 90-120 g of coffee per 1.9 liters of water. This proportion is easier to remember if you calculate that the weight of water should be about 15 times the weight of coffee.

In practice, this means that many drip coffee makers simply cannot brew the maximum amount. For example, on a standard jug of 1200 ml, you will have to pour about 80 grams of coffee. It is clear that in practice this is unlikely to be realized: even if such an amount of coffee can be placed in a small filter, water will pass through it too slowly, which threatens to overflow coffee grounds and clog the anti-drip system.

If you brew too small a portion, the coffee maker will not have time to warm up, which will lead to a deterioration in the quality of the drink (let's not forget that even with a good coffee maker, the water temperature at the beginning of preparation will be lower than in the middle of the process).

Therefore, before choosing a drip coffee maker, you have to figure out how much coffee you are going to prepare most often and choose a coffee maker so that the volume you choose corresponds to half the jug or ⅔ of its volume.

As for possible problems with insufficient water heating, it will not be possible to identify them by visual inspection or study of technical documentation. Deal with it.
