OXO 8720800 Compact Conical Burr Grinder, Plastic, Black

This grinder has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen setup! I love grinding fresh coffee beans, and it truly feels like a game changer for flavor compared to pre‑ground coffee. The grind quality is very consistent thanks to the conical burr design, and breaking it down by hand after each use is a breeze — the parts are easy to take apart and clean thoroughly. 👍 Pros: ☕ Fresh flavor boost — grinding beans fresh really improves the coffee taste. 🧼 Easy to clean — removable burrs and simple design make cleanup quick. ⚙️ Adjustable grind — multiple settings let you dial in the grind size you prefer. 💸 Great value — excellent performance without spending a ton on a grinder. 👎 Cons: ⏱️ Takes a little time — you might spend a couple extra minutes getting the grind just right, especially if you tweak the setting. Overall, I’m really happy with the quality and how much better my coffee tastes now that I’m grinding fresh beans. If you want a solid conical burr grinder that’s easy to use and clean without spending a lot, this is a strong choice! ☕😊

Excellent coffee grinder! Despite that is made in China, works very well. I was looking for a compact electric burr grinder, and after so much research, this is the smallest one and reliable I fund. Of course, the ones made in Europe are much more effective, but for household use, it works fantastic. Coffee ground settings from very tiny (for espresso) or very corse for regular coffee drip machine and french press. Easy to store in a deep drawer. Remember that the quality of the coffee beans you use is very important!

Had been struggling with my coffee having a sour taste regardless of the beans, water temp, or brew time. Aeropress. Grind about 5 days worth at a time. Tried daily grinding - still sour. Friend suggested trying to beans grind finer. Old flat burr affordable grinder just couldn’t seem to grind finer. Time to shop for replacement. Criteria (in no particular order) was something that would fit in cabinet when not needed (very small kitchen), good rating for finer grind, no need for espresso fine, easy to clean, and not break the bank. Dithered over buying this or a baratza. Choose this one due to compact size, price, good rating from wire cutter, and easy to clean. No regrets! Morning coffee greatly improved with a 7 grind, fits easily in cabinet, and so easy to take apart and brush clean. Yes, there is a bit of grinds on counter and some static, but not a problem. Much less mess than former grinder. Good price and greatly improved coffee.

What I love about this grinder: Easy to dial grind size: the grind is extraordinarily consistent, and I have dialed in the perfect grain size for my Chemex pour-over. Quiet: this may be the quietest coffee grinder I have ever used. I don't think it's efficiently possible to make a grinder silent, but this one is significantly quieter than grinders I have used in the past. What I don't like: Very hard to clean. This grinder has sort of an awkward setup, after removing the grinder to access the ground coffee, grind residue is left clinging to the grinder component. Because of how you must disassemble the grinder, it is very hard to not get coffee grinds on the counter or other surfaces. It's a small sacrifice to pay for an otherwise quality product. I have no regrets on the purchase, but think it could use some work on design to mitigate grind mess.

Easy to handle, mechanically simple, and rugged: A big 0.58A/70W motor, and a burr assembly that's solid and hefty; I can't imagine anything could ever break it. The lower half of it quick-disconnects and drops out of the hopper with a simple twist, for fast and easy maintenance and cleaning with a compressed air gun (hand-held electric recommended). If you like a fine espresso powder grind, you have five grind levels to choose from. I chose #3; #1 and #2 are finer (not by much), but they grind so slow, the motor times out in 40 seconds, to prevent overheating/burnout. For a coarser grind, you'll find something between #6 - #15. Either way, it's a perfect grind with no chips or slivers. I removed the finger guard; it's probably there for legal reasons, but it slows down the beans feeding down into the burr assembly. I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough to put a finger in it - it would chop your fingertip off in a hearbeat if it was running! Just pour in the beans, and put the rubber lid on to contain them. The pouring spout on the grounds bin is handy, but it's too wide to fill a Keurig reusable pod basket without spilling the grounds. It's easier to leave the bin attached to the grinder base, and use a baby spoon to scoop out the grounds, with the spout removed and out of the way. Finally, storage is easy. It's rather tall, but it has a small footprint.
