Electric Grinder Spice Herb Grinder Electric USB-Rechargeable, 2pcs 1.7oz Glass Herb Chamber - Mini Portable (Black)

Product Information

The finer you go, the better the uniformity, but generally speaking, these kind of grinders don't produce as uniform particle size as proper burrs will. I think they're a step up from using a chopper, and certainly a step up from using pre-ground, but I'd go for a burr grinder if you can. Entry Level Burr Grinders

Any grinder that is intended to be used for espresso and/or for brew methods really needs the ability to make macro and micro adjustments, and I'm surprised, if I'm honest, that all of the other grinder brands haven't followed suit here, as it just makes sense. You could single dose, and if you're single dosing (just throwing in the beans you're about to use) then you'll probably be fine adjusting the grind both ways while it isn't running, in which case two hands should suffice. Meanwhile, you can buy a high-quality electric grinder, such as the Baratza Encore, for just a bit more money. However, if you’re specifically in the market for a battery-operated coffee grinder, alternatives to the Grinder Go and 123Go are limited.

Best entry-level burr grinders

Via the Smart Grinder Pro, I was able to get great results, with plenty of range left (I was around at about setting 16, so nowhere near finest). With the Krups GVX231 and the De'Longhi KG79, I couldn't get anywhere close to acceptable via standard baskets, so very under-extracted espresso. Unlike a traditional machine grinder, it does not take up any kitchen space and easily fits in a drawer, helping you to declutter your kitchen. For brew methods like pourover, filter coffee machines, Aeropress and so on, you'll be able to grind fine enough, but still, I'd recommend going for a grinder with proper burrs if you can, as the improved particle uniformity these will provide, should translate into better cup quality. The iconic “Skerton” grinder from Hario continues to be another of the most popular grinders on the market. Offering the ultimate taste experience for lovers of fresh coffee, you can make great grinds, even on the go. No explanations necessary. (You’re making a music video!) But if you for any reason need to grind weed on an industrial scale, you’ll want a commercial grinder. This one has a brushed stainless steel exterior, so you’ll look pretty pro while pulsing ounces of cannabis into a perfectly ground heap.

If you're someone who wants to play around with your grinder over time, doing things like having bits 3D printed, replacing the de-clumper, or upgrading the burrs, then the DF64 might be something you'll enjoy owning as a lot of people do. If you're someone who just wants to buy a grinder and use it out of the box, and if you're a bit more focused on overall build quality and looks, you might want to have a look at the Niche Zero. The reason I mentioned earlier that this grinder is good for espresso and small batch pourover, is because, with a grinding range of 230–950 μm, it's mainly geared up towards finer grinding. It'll work well for small-batch pourover brewing with Kalita Wave, Hario V60 & Chemex, but if you're wanting to go more coarse than this for cafetiere and/or bigger batch filter brewing, you may find this doesn't quite have the required range on the more coarse side of things. This compact portable coffee grinder is small in stature but big on taste. The new and improved design offers a unique, reinforced hexagonal adapter that allows for an increased grind consistency and reduces wear and tear on the coffee mill.But the OTTO Electric Grinder and Roller reduces the need to actually touch your herb. When the joint is filled, you simply push up on the plastic sides, and it comes out of the chamber. You twist the end and you’re ready to go. If you can get beyond the brand name ;-), this appears to be a similar but slightly more premium version of the first blade grinder featured above, with the same kind of removable grinds cup, but by the looks of it slightly more in the way of finesse, and with multiple timer options. The 38mm E&B stainless steel conical burr set is identical to the one used in the Timemore Slim Plus, Nano Plus, and G1. The burrs are sharp, with dual bearings and high-precision CNC cutting. Because of this, the Grinder Go has a superior grind quality to similar entry-level grinders. Indeed, it performs better than a handful of electric burr grinders.
