Overview
Grinding whole beans fresh before brewing is what this flat burr mill is built for, with a selector for fine to coarse and an electric timer that shuts the motor off. A chamber holds the grounds, and the hopper lifts out for cleaning.
Freshly ground beans give more aroma than pre-ground coffee, and the selector adjusts for different brew styles. The grinder takes up counter space, and the listing does not mention espresso grinding.
Who it's for
Households that brew several cups at a time and want to control grind size across methods. Espresso users and people short on counter space should look at other grinders.
Pros and cons
- 18 grind settings
- Flat burr design
- Automatic stop timer
- Removable bean hopper
- Espresso use not stated
- Noise level not listed
- Takes counter space
Performance notes
Flat burrs crush beans between two plates, so setting the selector changes the gap and the particle size. An automatic shut-off ends the cycle at the set amount, and the finer settings are suited to short brew times.
