What it does

  • 48 grind settings
  • Burr grinding
  • Anti-static design
  • Electric

Who it suits

  • anyone still using pre-ground coffee, where the upgrade is larger than any other single change
  • a first or second grinder, where consistency matters more than the last few percent

Who should skip it

  • anyone who only drinks instant or pods, where a grinder has nothing to do
  • espresso, unless the maker says it grinds fine enough for it

The thing worth knowing

Burr geometry and the consistency of the steps matter more than motor wattage. Check that the finest setting suits your method before you buy: many grinders are set up for filter coffee and stop short of espresso.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
