Coffee Grinders

Detailed information on each grinder model, including features and specifications, is available on our product pages.

Higher-priced grinders often offer better build quality, more precise grind settings, and greater consistency. Investing in a quality grinder can significantly enhance your coffee experience, especially if you brew regularly and appreciate nuanced flavours.

Signs that burrs may need replacing include inconsistent grind size, longer grinding times, or a noticeable decline in coffee flavour. Refer to your grinder's manual for specific guidance, as burr lifespan varies by model and usage.

A grind-by-weight grinder allows you to program the exact weight of coffee to be ground, enhancing consistency and reducing waste. These grinders are particularly beneficial for those seeking precision in their brewing process, such as espresso enthusiasts.

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain your grinder's performance and the quality of your coffee. It's recommended to:​

Daily: Wipe down the exterior and remove any coffee residue from the hopper and grind chamber.

Weekly: Deep clean by disassembling removable parts and brushing out coffee particles from the burrs.

The choice between a manual or electric coffee grinder depends on your brewing habits, budget, and personal preferences.

Manual grinders are a great option if you’re looking for a compact, affordable, and quiet way to grind fresh coffee. They’re ideal for smaller quantities, travel, or for those who enjoy the hands-on ritual of brewing.

Electric grinders offer speed, consistency, and convenience—especially useful if you make coffee daily or in larger batches. Many models allow for precise grind adjustments, making them suitable for a wide range of brewing methods, from espresso to French press.

For the best results, choose a burr grinder (manual or electric) over a blade grinder, as it delivers more consistent particle sizes and better flavour extraction.

If you're unsure, start with a good-quality manual grinder and upgrade as your coffee routine evolves. Read more about how to get the best from your coffee grinder here.

There are two primary types of coffee grinders: blade grinders and burr grinders. Blade grinders use a spinning blade to chop coffee beans, which can result in uneven grind sizes. Burr grinders, on the other hand, use two abrasive surfaces (burrs) to crush beans into a consistent size, offering more control and uniformity, which is crucial for various brewing methods.
