Grinders

Burr grinders for home coffee, hand-crank and electric. The grinder sets the ceiling on everything downstream: an even grind decides sweet or muddy before technique gets a vote, which is why our standing advice is to upgrade the grinder before the machine.Start from what you brew. Espresso needs fine adjustment in small steps; pour-over rewards uniformity at medium settings. A hand grinder buys more burr per dollar and asks a minute of cranking for it. An electric buys speed and repeatability. Replacement burrs live here too.Not sure where to start? Read why the grinder comes first and our espresso grinder guide by budget.
