Who it suits
- occasional use, or grinding dry spices as well as coffee
- a low-cost step from pre-ground to whole bean
Who should skip it
- espresso, or any method where an even grind matters
- anyone who wants the same grind every time: a blade chops by time, so the result depends on how long you hold the button
The thing worth knowing
A blade grinder chops rather than grinds, so the pieces come out in mixed sizes. The fine dust over-extracts and the larger pieces under-extract, which is why a burr grinder is the usual next step.

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.
