Because the best coffee starts from the grounds up, we created the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder to help your beans unlock their full potential. The design is simple, so nothing stands between you and your first cup. Just add beans and choose from 15 grind size settings—from fine for espresso to coarse for French press—then turn the dial to select grinding time and push to start. Stainless steel conical burrs create uniform grounds, for gold-cup flavor, and the one-touch timer keeps your last setting, so you don’t have to reset it every time. The Grinder holds up to ¾ lb (12 oz) of coffee beans in a UV-blocking hopper so your coffee tastes fresh. Finally, making great coffee doesn’t have to be a grind.

Title: A very solid, easy to use grinder.
Review: So, this is going to be a comparison review; this grinder and my older Cuisinart burr grinder. I mostly make aeropress and French press using light to medium roast coffee. Grind consistency isn't as important here as it would be for espresso or pour over brewing. Set up was easy, I just had to wash the hopper and the catch cup per the instructions. I let them dry overnight and assembled the grinder which was incredibly easy. The first thing I'll note is I wish the catch cup snapped into place a bit easier. My old grinder I could do it one handed, here I have to use two hands. This may change over time as the grinder breaks in. The steel catch cup on this grinder is much nicer than the plastic bin on my old grinder and the bean hopper is thicker plastic as well. I wish this grinder just had an on/off switch instead of a timer, that way I'm not guessing how long I need to set the timer to grind for. I premeasure the amount of beans I put in the hopper and so I just need to clear the hopper not, say, a quarter pound of beans.Grinding! It's much quieter, faster, and efficient than my old Cuisinart burr grinder. The old one would take 20-30 seconds on medium grind to mostly clear the hopper. It liked to throw beans back out of the burr so it never completely cleared the hopper. This one though, 13g light roast beans, medium grind, completely cleared the hopper in less than 20 seconds and no horribly loud grinding noise. Consider me impressed.Grind consistency, very good from what I can tell. I don't have a magnifying glass but it's far better at uniform grind size than my old grinder which gave me "boulders and dust" for grinds. This looks very uniform, maybe a bit on the fine side with the grind, but again, I'm doing full immersion brewing so a little too fine or a little too big won't throw me off in the final product. Do I already love this grinder more than my old one, resoundingly yes. Do I love I got it on sale. You bet. Is it worth full price, yes as well.Bottom line, this was a great upgrade over my old grinder. Grinds are consistent, nicely fine, its fast, quieter than what I had, and feels sturdy. Could I have bought a much more expensive grinder, you bet. But for my preferred brewing methods and that I'm not trying to run a large amount of beans though it, this grinder is an excellent purchase and I look forward to using it for a long time to come

Title: Excellent grinder. Only minor flaws.
Review: (I am an ex professional barista.)CONS:-The grounds container doesn't lock into place and will sometimes vibrate out during grinding. This is the only serious flaw with the product, and I feel it's a minor one. I've gone through many of the reviews and it seems that it's simply a matter of construction inconsistency. Most people's containers "click" into place; a minority do not. I was just unlucky enough to get one of the ones that don't.-You can't remove the bottom burr to clean it. They really did do their best to make this easy to clean and I appreciate that you don't have to undo a bunch of microscopic screws just to clean your burrs, but I really wish I could remove BOTH burrs to give them a thorough wipe-down. It's difficult to clean the one that's stuck inside the grinder. The other lifts out easily by a cute little handle.PROS:-High quality, consistent grind. The brewing methods I use most all hover around the medium grind range, so I haven't really tested the extremes of coarse and fine. Can't speak to those. But as far as the medium ranges, it grinds beautifully and consistently. That's what matters in the end, right?-The beans feed very well, even for single dosing. Never an issue.-As mentioned above, the ability to clean the grinder is taken into account in the construction. No need to delicately deconstruct the whole thing and keep track of a bunch of itty bitty screws and springs. The top part of the grinder and the top burr simply turn-and-lift out, and then turn-and-lock back into place. So nice.-It's aesthetically pleasing and takes up little room on the counter. All the materials have a quality feel.-It isn't super noisy. All grinders are gonna make noise, to be sure, but as far as grinders go, this one has a pretty gentle sound. I've definitely used my fair share of grinders that made me feel like my brain was going to vibrate out of my skull, and this one has a polite hum by comparison.-The price for this level of quality is unbeatable. I can't even believe I paid less than one hundred dollars for this. Real talk, folks: these are steel conical burrs. Solid construction. 40+ grind settings. Did I mention steel conical burrs? I never thought I would own something like this for less than $250. You cannot beat this price point/quality intersection. You just can't. This grinder is price-meets-quality king.USAGE:You're working with three variables: time, grind, and amount. There are two popular approaches to working out your dose.Method 1: You leave 'amount' as the open variable. With this method, you dump all your beans in the hopper and store them there. You then adjust grind and time until you're getting the right dose at the right grind level.Method 2: You leave 'time' as the open variable. With this method, you only deposit the amount of beans you plan to use for each dose, adjust the grind as needed, and let it take whatever amount of time it takes. You're adjusting the amount and the grind, rather than adjusting the grind and the time. (This is called "single dosing.")Go to any coffee forum, and you'll be pages of debate about which of these methods is superior. Honestly, you should use the method that feels best for YOU.The reason I bring it up here is because people seem anxious that Method #2 will damage the burrs over time, since you run them all the way to empty every time you grind.Here's my take: I use Method #2, because I feel that the beans start to taste stale if left in the hopper. (Everyone's tastebuds are different; there's no right or wrong.) This means that I let the burrs run until I hear the sound change from a low growl to a high pitched growl, which indicates that the burrs are grinding empty, and then I manually stop the grind.I honestly don't see any issue with this, and I don't feel any anxiety about it. Think about it: if you're cleaning the burrs between bean swaps, you're letting them run for several seconds on empty anyway. Even the manufacturer instructions tell you to do this when cleaning the burrs! The only difference here is that instead of intentionally running them on empty for several seconds to clean them, you're running them on empty for one single second every day/dose. I'd never recommend doing that on a fine espresso setting, but as long as you're in the medium-to-coarse range, I don't see any possible ways the burrs could damage each other. There's no way the burrs are touching at that distance, regardless of variables like heat expanding the metal and other things coffee nerds like to debate about.I hope this review was helpful. I'll update in a year to let you know if this grinder held up through daily use.

Review: Love this grinder. We had a cuisineart grinder that lasted 20 years. It was functional but loud. This OXO grinder is so smooth and quiet and has a consistant grind. The metal canister helps with the static electricty build up. Not as bad as plastic.

Review: Muele de manera uniforme. Va de molienda fina para un espresso hasta gruesa para cold brew. No genera mucha estática. Solo hace un poco de ruido, pero soportable. Es fácil de limpiar.

Review: Have had this unit for over three years now and use it daily at least once (sometimes two or three times a day). By my rough calculation, we've ground well over 150 pounds of coffee during that time and this unit is still very much going strong!This grinder always provides coffee grinds that are consistent in size, with very few outliers that are a tad finer. From fine to coarse & light to dark (and everything in between), it works well with all types of roast and all types of beans. The anti static properties they claim are effective, with a light tap to the side of it, the grounds come out of the stainless receptacle cleanly.It's also easy to disassemble it to clean the burrs and hopper out. Simpler yet to adjust the grind (sometimes it's a tad at TOO easy - keep an eye on the dial to make sure that you haven't moved it by accident).I don't find the timer a useful feature personally - however I'm a stickler for accuracy, so I weigh every batch before and after it gets ground. A timer is FAR too general of a measurement for my liking. Different strokes for different folks I guess.All in all, my wife and I really like this grinder! If it were to break down tomorrow - we wouldn't hesitate to replace it with the exact same model.In a sleepy early morning daze a few weeks ago - my wife poured boiling water through the grinder by accident! She unplugged it immediately, and I proceeded to disassemble it and blow it out with compressed air. After leaving it apart for a day or two over the furnace vent for it to dry out completely, it went back together just fine and it seems none the worse for wear.I noticed when I had it apart that it was pretty well designed and built in my opinion. I am a technician by trade, so I notice that kind of stuff. The components seem to be of high quality as well. Highly recommended!

Review: No AC power adapter supplied as claimed to enable its use in Europe. Ad states it comes with an adapter but no adapter was included. I am complaining to Amazon today as it is an Amazon.de (Europe) fulfilled item and am waiting on Amazon's response. i.e. will Amazon send the missing adapter out or just lamely just say to return it. I am after a good coffee grinder and this potentially was a good one... Amazon?
