Top 10 Best Burr Coffee Grinders
for December 2023

The OXO Brewing Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is a workhorse of a coffee grinder. It grinds beans quickly, and it does so consistently. No matter how coarse or fine you grind, you'll get consistent results. It also has an on-steroids hopper that holds up to 0.75 pounds of beans. The timer is a nice touch, especially considering that the grinder's grind settings are separate from the timer's grind time. It also has a stepless grind adjustment, so you can adjust it to fit any brewing method. The grinder's conical burrs produce a wonderful aroma, and the grinder is super quiet. The grind adjustment lever is easy to operate, so it's easy for even non-coffee-geeks to adjust the grind to their liking. The only complaint we have about the grinder is its slightly messy grind bin. The grounds fall right out of the bin, so you have to empty it after every use.

Bodum's Bistro Burr Coffee Grinder is a sleek, simple coffee grinder that grinds beans quickly and evenly, and it does so without creating a lot of noise. It's especially good for grinding just enough for a single cup of coffee. The Bistro Burr Grinder's grind settings are clearly marked on its stainless steel body. We especially liked the Bistro Burr Grinder's built-in timer, which allows users to grind the exact amount of coffee they need, preventing waste and keeping beans fresh. The grinder has a 1-pound bean container, which may not be large enough for some users. It also creates a little static when it's full of beans, which can be alleviated by wiping it off after every use. The Bistro Burr Grinder is easy to clean, and it's dishwasher-safe. It's also BPA-free, so you can feel safe using it with organic, fair trade, and Rainforest Alliance-certified beans.

The SHARDOR Electric Burr Coffee Grinder has all the features we look for in a coffee grinder, and it performs well, although its grind quality wasn't perfect. On our 2-14 cup setting, it produced grounds that were overly fine for our French press, but they were fine enough for a drip coffee maker. Its grind quality also wasn't great on our 2-8 cup setting, but on our 8-14 cup setting it was fine. The grinder has 16 grind settings, and we used the fine setting for all of our coffee tests. The grinder also has a timer, and it has a 75-watt motor, which is powerful enough to ground coffee beans quickly and efficiently. The grinder comes with two spoons: a stainless steel one for grinding coffee beans, and a plastic one for cleaning up coffee grounds. The plastic spoon is handy, but the quality of both spoons isn't great. The grinder also comes with a manual, which is simple and well-written. The grinder's price tag is high, but it's less expensive than the Baratza Encore and Jura-Capresso S10.

The KRUPS Precision Grinder is a solid choice for a coffee lover who brews regularly, and it's one of the few grinders we tested that has adjustable settings for both coarseness and fineness. The removable bean hopper and grounds container, which is large enough to make about 30-32 cups of coffee, are easily accessible, and we found that the grinder does a good job of tamping the grounds. The grinder's 12 grind fineness settings are farther apart than on most models, so it's ideal for someone who prefers a grind that's coarser for French press but finer for drip. The manual is very clear, and it's easy to set up. The grinder's 12-cup capacity is much larger than most models we tested, and it's nice to have the flexibility to grind 2-12 cups depending on your schedule. The grinder's large grinding range makes it suitable for many types of coffee brewing, and we found the settings worked well for drip, French press, and cold brew. The Precision Grinder is also very quiet, which is a big plus. The grinder's custom grind setting allows you to select the type of grind you want, and the grinder can grind to 12 different settings, from fine for espresso to coarse for French press. The Precision Grinder's accessories, including a measuring spoon and reusable coffee filter, are nice to have, but they're not absolutely essential. The grinder's auto-stop feature is helpful, but it's nice to have the manual stop button, as well. The grinder is solidly built and easy to clean, and it's relatively light weight and portable. The Precision Grinder is a good option for anyone who brews coffee regularly and who likes the versatility and customizability it provides.

The Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder is our top overall pick because it consistently grinds coffee to great-tasting, uniform size, and it grinds almost as fast as any other automatic grinder we tested. Its 160-watt motor, which is powerful enough to grind almost a pound of beans, is powerful enough to grind coffee beans quickly. The Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder has 18 different grind settings, from coarse to fine, and you can use it for brewing coffee, espresso, or pour overs. Its removable grinding chamber holds up to 1/2 pound of coffee beans, and its dual safety-locking switches ensure that you can't accidentally grind too much coffee. The Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder also grinds beans evenly, and it produces coffee that is rich, smooth, and flavorful. Its cord storage prevents the cord from getting tangled up, and it's easy to clean. The Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder is our top overall pick.

The Secura Electric Burr Coffee Grinder Mill has everything you want in an automatic burr grinder: sleek design, a programmable timer, 17 grind settings, and a 2-cup capacity. It's small, compact, and reasonably priced. The burr grinder is quiet and does a good job of grinding evenly, and the programmable timer makes it easy to grind just the amount you need. The 2-cup capacity makes it easy to grind a single cup at a time, which is nice, but it's a bit small for many users. Also, the grinder didn't come with a tamper, so you'll need to buy one separately. Also, the grind settings are a bit vague: The setting labeled "fine" is coarser than "medium," and it's somewhat difficult to gauge the finer grinds. Those who want a simple, compact grinder that's easy to use and reliably grinds coffee will find the Secura Electric Burr Coffee Grinder Mill to be an excellent choice.

The Burr Coffee Grinder Electric with 16 Precise Grind Settings, Black is an attractive, well-made, and easy-to-use electric coffee grinder. The burrs are sharp (which we prefer), and the machine grinds quickly: We ground 16 shots of espresso in under two and a half minutes. The grinder is relatively quiet, and it's fairly easy to clean: Just remove the burrs from the machine, and you should be able to clean them by hand. Our only complaint: The burrs spin at a relatively high RPM, which makes it difficult to control coarseness; we had to dial down the grind setting from coarse to fine.

The SuperGrind Burr Coffee Grinder is the best electric coffee grinder we tested. It has more settings than any other coffee grinder we tested, and its burrs produce a consistent grind. The grinder's automatic settings allow you to choose from espresso, regular, and Turkish grinds. The grinder features a 5.8-ounce bean hopper, which is the largest we tested, and is removable for easy cleaning. The grinder also comes with a tamper, which is used to compress the ground coffee. The grinder's grinding mechanism is quieter than our other top picks, but you still have to adjust the grind settings with a knob. The grinder's burrs are made of stainless steel, so they will need to be cleaned occasionally. The grinder is lightweight, so it's easy (and safe) to move around.

The hopper is generously sized, and the grinder can grind enough beans for 4 cups in a single batch. The grind settings are adjustable, and the grinder does a good job of evenly crushing the beans. The grinder comes with a stainless steel burr set, which is better than a set of plastic burrs, which tend to wear down over time. The grinder is easy to clean, too. It has a built-in rinser that quietly and efficiently cleans the burrs. The grinder is quiet and compact enough that you can grind it on your kitchen table, and it's powered by USB, so it's convenient to use. The grinder comes with a 2-year warranty, and customer service is very responsive.
