I'm looking for a burr grinder I can use at home and so far I've read the reviews for a few (Baratza, Breville, OXO) and find that each one does a great job with one or two grind sizes and not so much others.

I make cold brew, French press, moka pot, and pour over coffee and because I have a blade grinder I know I'm not getting the best cups the way I'm grinding now. I'd hoped a good burr grinder would be versatile enough, especially if I'm willing to pay for it (ideally no more than $300 though). Seems like the Baratza and OXO is great for "regular" coffee and the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is great for espresso (so I imagine it will work for moka pot) but not so much for French press or cold brew!

Any recommendations? Should I just go with one of these and play with the gears (which I'll have to learn lol) to get what I need?

Thanks!

Could you please recommend any affordable burr coffee grinders (not manual) priced under £200?

I want to buy my boyfriend a good coffee grinder for his birthday. He isn’t a coffee expert so just a decent grinder would do. However as I’m a tea drinker, I know nothing so please help.

I was contemplating the Sage Dose Control, but the reviews have made me hesitant due to reports of it frequently breaking within a year. I need a burr grinder that works well with his De'Longhi espresso machine. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you have.

Edit: Thank you for everyone’s recommendations. While the majority have said the Baratza ESP is good, unfortunately, it’s not yet out in the UK.

Update: I ended up going for the Baratza ESP, as it’s currently on pre-order. I got in contact with the distributor, who informed me that they will hopefully have them in stock this week. Thank you, everyone, for your help. I’m sure my boyfriend is going to love it.

Hello, just purchased a Moccamaster KBGT and realized the coffee ginder I currently use make the bean too fine. I read for this machine, it's best to us a medium course grind.

My questions are:

1.) What's a middle of the road coffee bean grinder that you would recommend?

2.) Would you prefer electric or manual

3.) what the best coffee bean to use with a Moccamaster. I love coffee and there is a time and place for all blends.

Thank you

I’ve gone through 3 in 3 years buying base-mid line models from box stores. They just all give up on life. Light use, mainly on weekends. TIA!

Hey everyone! I’m in the market for a new coffee grinder and I’m looking for some recommendations. I mostly brew pour-over and espresso, so I need something that offers consistent grind size and is easy to use.

Edit: After reading the comments I found these ones:

• TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S

• Baratza Encore ESP

• Fellow Gen 2 Ode

• DF64 Coffee Grinder

If you have any other suggestions for coffee grinders that are high-quality but won’t break the bank, feel free to suggest.

Edit: My budget is around $900.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to get an electrical coffee grinder suitable to enjoy V60. I see a lot of you guys have Fellow, very cool but that is a bit over my budget rn I would say.

Is there anything you would suggest below 100 bucks?

My husband and I's anniversary is coming up and I want to get him a nice Burr grinder. Right now he has this blade grinder and so he has to shake it to redistribute the grounds - this creates a mess on the counter daily. He mostly does pour over with his Chemex or French press, so we don't really need a grinder that excels at espresso.

I've been looking at:

1. Baratza Encore (seems to be a favorite for its even grind, but have read in numerous reviews that when you pull the cup out the grinds tend to go everywhere. I'm so tired of cleaning up coffee grounds)

2. Oxo Conical Burr Grinder (read that it diffuses static pretty well resulting in minimal clean up, but the course grind specifically is not even for French press use)

3. Kitchen Burr Coffee Grinder KCG8433BM (this is not the one that conencts to the mixer, it's a stand alone machine. Virtually zero static for great clean up yet seems to have mixed reviews on the course setting - some say too fine and some say spot on)

Curious if anyone can speak to their experiences and if there's another grinder that you would suggest looking at.

Hi!

I looked through the old posts but didn't find anything newer than 4 years ago, so I thought I would pose the question fresh.

My husband loves fresh coffee, to the extent that since I've known him he always grinds fresh beans every day, uses local beans, and either uses a French press or a pour over method to make his coffee every morning. He has expressed interest in upgrading his cheap blade grinder (sorry if the terminology is wrong) and wants to upgrade to a burr grinder. I have $150-$175 to spend on him for Christmas. Any recommendations on which grinder is the best option?

I looked at the Baratza in that price range, but I saw a number of reviews that said the grinder broke within a year. It's hard to tell what is user error and what is actual defect. I also looked at a Cuisinart option for 1/3 the price and it looked nice, but I also feel like a brand like Baratza that sells $800+ grinders probably knows a thing or two and the lower model will still be worth it.

I'll take any guidance I can get. I don't drink coffee myself so I have to rely on others to tell me what's actually good. TIA!!

Update: thank you all so much for your help and advice! The coffee sub is really a welcoming place! I'll be checking out the Baratza site for their refurbished options and if that doesn't work out I'll check out the Encore. Thank you all so much!!

I'm interested in tasting the difference that a conical burr produces. I'm getting an Aiden, so I'm curious if the opus is decent? I think Fellow will suggest grind settings for the ode and opus 2, when you get beans from Fellow Drops. Which will make the Aiden great for those mornings I just want a coffee without messing around to much

Really confused as to what espresso grinders to get my husband. I am getting him a trade espresso subscription so I want to get a bean grinder to go with it. he currently has a manual grinder which I don't think does a veey good job

Hey all!

Extremely new to the coffee game! Literally just got a blade coffee grinder over the summer for grinding spices and coffee beans (2 for 1 I guess you can say!)

Then, as little as 3 weeks ago, I came across James’s channel. Started using the Moka Pot tricks from his video and his advice on getting more uniform grinds from blade grinders.

Now, I’ve ordered myself some medium roast beans from Atomic Brewery after a recommendation from a close friend who is SUPER into coffee. My question is, are there any good burr grinders under $150? I already know ceramic grinders are a huge no no and Bodum is having a sale on this grinder that seems like a good deal considering it’s $40 with stainless steel conical burrs.

https://www.bodum.com/us/en/11750-01us-bistro?gclid=CjwKCAiAkrWdBhBkEiwAZ9cdcD6FZrW-6UeZF9EGOccAeawM48yWsgfG4t-vMgZBI_ceZ_kFw4LHExoCQy4QAvD_BwE

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Edit: (12/30/2022)

Every single suggestion here is so so greatly appreciated!

Just for some clarity as well, I’m not currently looking into getting into espresso. Most of the espresso I’ve had has been too strong and too bitter for me. Now I know a lot of that likely comes down to not knowing what espresso/coffee beans I like. However, I do think I’m more of a medium/light roast kind of guy rather than a dark roast.

However, I’m definitely someone who enjoys the idea of semi-future proofing. And the extra work of a hand grinder doesn’t bother me. I already spend quite a bit of time trying to get the best results I can with my blade grinder, a sieve & a paper towel lmao. The portability of a hand grinder does appeal to me as well!

Considering my budget, perhaps it may be wise to get a good hand grinder to start and then a few years down the line, invest in a good electric grinder as well! I do like the upgradability in the encore however! So that’s also quite appealing given the price!

Hi there, I’m new into cold brew and want to start making it but which grinder is good and grinds evenly? Would possibly love to add it to my small coffee shop

As an entry-level espresso enthusiast, it's understandable to want to explore different options for equipment without breaking the bank. Current set up is very very basic, Casabrews CM5418, 51mm bottomless portafilter, Okay Tamper, Distribution Tool, scale etc.

However, when it comes to coffee grinders, especially for espresso, quality is paramount. In a perfect world I would go out and buy a Breville Smart Grinder Pro Coffee Bean Grinder. Currently I just have a SHARDOR Adjustable Coffee Grinder. I found something Cheap, but also still a single serve burr grinder that dispenses into a portafilter......there isn't much out there about this off-brand Grinder, and I would love peoples thoughts about how bad of an idea this is to try.

As the title states. I work at a nice coffee shop so can do all the things. Curious if there are specific budget grinders you all would recommend for pour overs? Sorry if this is a super common question. Just joined the sub! Looking to upgrade my setup at home to get some more options!

Hello, I am trying to find an expresso setup my girlfriends birthday. In doing my research I've learned the importance of a burr grinder vs a coffee grinder. So I was wondering if yall could help me find an automatic burr grinder under $100. Thank you in advance!

We've used Barratza (sp?), Shardor, and some brands easily found in big box stores. We use a ceramic hand grinder for "special" coffee with the AeroPress, but need a higher volume device for the "work day" coffee. The grinders are either noisy (cement mixer filled with cinder blocks), or delicate (rice clean after every third use). R/coffee was no help, chose to evangelize on coffee rather than answer the question. Help me BIFL. You're my only hope.

Hey all, I recently got a bonus from work, and I was looking into upgrading my grinder. Just to lay the land, here’s some basics

My budget is ~800 usd, flexible if there’s a good reason to flex it.

I primarily drink light roasts, either as pourover, espresso, americano, or espresso + tonic. I don’t often do milk drinks. I usually have between 2-4 coffees per day.

I currently have a flair 58 for brewing, and for pourover I use a v60 or hario switch

My grinder setup at the moment is a 1zpresso JX-Pro and a Turin SK-40. Both are capable conical burr grinders, but I do find that I get a lot of fines in pourover. I also find that in espresso the flavors can be a bit muted as they blend together.

I’ve already taken the leap of brewing with low-hardness water (distilled water + third wave water satchets)

I don’t have any limitations on counter space, and I don’t mind tinkering (though, I want something with a good out of the box experience. For me, I prefer only to tinker after I have used & know my gear very well)

I had been looking at the Timemore 078s, or the DF64 gen 2. A few criterion I’ve been considering

I want a flat burr grinder, for the clarity they offer. I know it’s a bit of a generalization to say flat = clarity… but I think broad strokes that holds true.

I want a grinder that comes with good stock burrs. I might change them down the line, but at the moment I don’t want to faff with burr swaps and aligning. I don’t mind calibrating as long as it’s not terribly difficult.

I want a grinder that is “endgame capable”… meaning I want something that is durable and feature rich.

I want a grinder that compliments my lineup. Im not hoping to replace my conicals, but rather to have options depending on how I feel.

I want to have good quality espresso and pourover

So now to the questions-

What would you choose for the above criteria between the Timemore 078s or DF64?

What would you choose aside from the 078s / DF64? What makes you think it would be a good choice?

For Timemore 078s owners - how do you find the quality of pourover? Of espresso? Is there something better for both pourover & espresso in your experience?

For DF64 gen 2 owners - how do you find the quality of pourover? Of espresso?

Which grinder has better support for aftermarket burrs? Which has an easier maintenance routine?

Thanks in advance! I didn’t see any direct comparisons of these two grinders when I looked, so I was hoping to stir some discussion around these two/other grinders in their class.

We are in the market for a new coffee grinder. We keep getting cheap ones that don’t last more than a year or two. Would like recommendations of products that will last a bit longer and be worth the money (up to $100?).

My husband uses it a few times a week, mostly for cold brew base. Current brand we have is chefman, but it’s barely hanging on.

If you are looking for the best coffee grinder to buy in 2023, then you are in the right place.

In this thread we will make the decision easier for you.
