Best Coffee Grinder

Top 10 Rated Coffee Grinders 2024

By

The best way to get the freshest coffee at home is to grind it yourself. At first thought it is not as easy as buying pre-ground coffee, but you’ll know the little bit of extra effort is well worth it once you try. Whole coffee beans hold their freshness longer than ground coffee. So if you are searching for that perfect cup of coffee at home every time, this is probably the way to go. There is no need to worry about counter space in your kitchen because a coffee grinder is a fairly small appliance. One would be easy to store too. We looked at 10 of the best coffee grinders on the market and rated them based on the following criteria:

1. Effectiveness at grinding coffee beans
2. Easily choose a course or fine grind
3. Size of the grinder
4. Electric or hand powered
5. Blade, burr, or crank grinder
6. Easily cleaned
7. Value

A top-ranked coffee grinder among consumers, the Melitta 80391 coffee grinder has simple one-touch controls that let you choose the fineness of the grind and the number of cups you plan to make—and you don’t have to hold down the button. We also liked the concealed cord storage, which keeps your countertop clutter-free. Of course, the Melitta 80391 is also perfect for grinding spices and nuts. Sleek and contemporary in design, and built to last, it’s a valuable purchase all around.

Kuissential CUCRGDR  9.5/10

$24.99
Ceramic burr coffee grinder and hand-crank coffee mill
Glass storage container

With a nonslip base for stability, the Kuissential Manual Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder grinds up beans, grains, seeds, and nuts with variable degrees of fineness. You can count on the fineness or coarseness of the grind being consistent, depending on your preferences. The ceramic material is rust-proof, doesn’t alter the taste of the beans, and ensures a long-lasting life for the grinder. We were pleased with how easily it is to turn the handle and by how much control it gives us over the texture of the grind.

Another highlighted feature is the borosilicate glass container that, being static-free, prevents the grounds from getting jumpy and making a mess. If you’re serious about your coffee, this Bodum Bistro grinder is a wise investment.

The mechanism to adjust the fineness of the grind is easy to use, and the container is a breeze to clean.

For such a low price, we were pleasantly surprised by how quietly and effectively this grinder works.
