Coffee Grinders

These electric coffee grinders are a staple of coffee connoisseurs. They feature a chamber that feeds beans through conical burrs or flat plates that produce a uniform grind, bringing out maximum flavor. Burr grinders also produce minimal heat during grinding, keeping the aromatic oils of your gourmet beans intact. Precise grind settings range from a coarse grind for preparing a rich cup of French press coffee to the fine grind that produces full-bodied espresso. Plus, an airtight hopper holds beans until you’re ready to grind, cutting one step out of morning routine while keeping your coffee beans fresh and flavorful. Some models also include LCD screens for easy control of the grinding process.

If you’re looking for a coffee grinder that doesn’t take up a lot of counter space, this compact style is for you. Blade coffee grinders use powerful rotating blades, often stainless steel, to leave your coffee beans coarse-ground within seconds. The accessible price point makes this grinder type a popular option for gifts or casual coffee drinkers, and its versatile design lets you also grind spices and nuts for your favorite recipes. While the grind is less uniform, it’s more than ideal for brewing with your standard coffee maker. Many blade grinders hold enough beans to make 12 cups of coffee, so you can easily brew for a crowd.

Get an all-in-one coffee center to save kitchen counter space and save time in your morning routine.

After grinding and brewing, a hot plate or insulated carafe keeps your coffee steaming hot. Some models also feature a pause function, so you can fill your cup during the brew cycle.

Certain coffee grinder models, including ones from Breville, release the grounds slowly. This minimizes the static charge that causes coffee particle buildup in the grind chamber.
