Coffee Grinders for Home Use (Updated List)

What are the best coffee grinders for home use?

It's great to have top-quality coffee... but if you don't have equally good coffee equipment, you might not be making the most of your delicious beans!

In this post, we'll briefly explain why you need a top-quality coffee grinder and give five top coffee grinders for home use.

Why are Coffee grinders important?

We always recommend grinding your own coffee beans. There are lots of reasons for this, but the main one is that this ensures your coffee grounds are as fresh as possible.

This means they will have the maximum amount of flavour and aroma, making an all-round better coffee.

If you're interested in learning more about coffee grinders, then here blog post all about them.

However, you need to know what coffee grinders will actually be up to the task! Here are five tried-and-true coffee grinders we recommend.

The Smart Grinder Pro by Sage

Our top pick for a home coffee grinder is the Sage Smart Coffee Grinder Pro. It's no secret that we love all of the coffee machines made by Sage, and the Smart Grinder Pro is no exception!

This little powerhouse of a grinder is exactly what you need to get a perfect grind, every single time.

The simple LCD screen displays your grind setting, grind time, and the number of shots or cups you have selected. Intelligent settings help your grinder achieve perfect results, regardless of how fine or coarse you require your beans. With 60 unique settings, this programmable conical burr grinder amplifies the potential of any brew. Choose between ‘cups’ for French press or filter and ‘shots’ for espresso to get the right dose for the coffee you brew.

Sboly Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Next up is the Sboly Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. Even though this isn't a well-known brand, you shouldn't dismiss this grinder.

The stainless steel conical burrs grind coffee beans very well, and there are 19 different grind settings. You can use for a coarse grind (e.g. for a cafetiere) up to a super fine grind (e.g. for an espresso).

It also has a large bean hopper that holds up to 14 cups of beans. But our favourite thing about the Sboly Burr Grinder is how easy it is to clean.

The upper burr is removable, and the grinder comes with a brush that can be used to clean all the nooks and crannies. It's a very convenient little device.

Krups Expert G VX 231

There is no question about the quality of the Krups Expert G VX 242. This professionally designed burr grinder has 17 different settings, from extra fine to coarse.

It's consistent, and very easy to use - just push one button, and it starts grinding. It yields up to 12 cups per grind, so you won't need to keep refilling it.

Krups Expert G VX 242

We particularly like the safety feature on the Krups. It won't grind if the hopper lid or the grind container is missing.

Furthermore, this coffee grinder is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for small kitchens or office spaces.

This is perhaps more of an entry-level machine, but it holds its own against many coffee grinders available.

Iberital MC2 Coffee Grinder

If you're looking for a grinder specifically for espresso, then the Iberital MC2 Coffee Grinder might be the one for you.

The burr grinder is expertly designed to grind the perfect espresso, every time. It's a bit different from the other grinders we've mentioned because it doesn't have a hopper - instead, it has a chute.

This means that you won't need to grind more coffee than you need. It's also a pretty quiet grinder (as quiet as grinding beans with force can be!)

Although you can change between coarse and fine settings, we definitely recommend only using the MC2 for a fine espresso coffee grind. That's really what it's designed to do - and it does it well.

This machine punches well above its weight in espresso quality for the price.

Hario Skerton Hand Grinder

Finally, we recommend the Hario Skerton Hand Grinder. As the name suggests, this is a hand grinder, so you will need to crank the handle yourself.

However, if you're someone who only drinks one or two cups of coffee a day, you won't be expending too much energy with this hand grinder.

Hario Skerton Hand Grinder

Even though it's a hand grinder, the Skerton (as it's known) has lovely ceramic burrs that crush the coffee beans.

You can adjust the grind size, making it highly versatile. The coffee bean grinder is also very durable, with a robust glass chamber and ergonomic grips, and it's washable and dishwasher safe, which is particularly handy!

Hario made the Hario V60 which is a quality grinder for your home use. Once your coffee is grinded, the Hario V60 coffee dripper is also worth looking into.

The brand puts quality first, and you are sure of getting your money's worth.
