Overview
A compact electric blade coffee grinder with a 150W motor, push-button pulse or continuous grinding, and enough capacity for an 8-cup French press batch. Despite where it's filed, this is a blade grinder, not a burr grinder.
The stainless steel cutting blade spins at a set rpm rather than crushing beans between two burrs, so grind consistency depends on how long you pulse it rather than a fixed setting. A transparent lid lets you watch the grind as it happens, and the cord stores in the base for counter storage.
- 150W motor, stainless steel blade
- Pulse or continuous button control
- Transparent lid for grind checking
- Capacity for 8 cups of French press coffee
Who it's for
French press and drip coffee drinkers who want a simple, compact grinder for daily use. Not the right tool for espresso, where a burr grinder's consistent particle size matters more.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 150W motor with pulse or continuous control
- Clear lid to watch grind progress
- Cord storage built into the base
- Sized for an 8-cup French press batch
- Blade grinding gives less consistent particle size than a burr grinder
- Not suited to espresso-fine grinds
Performance notes
Pressing the button gives you a pulse for short bursts or continuous grinding for longer runs, with the stainless blade cutting beans down as it spins. Because it's a blade rather than burrs, grind fineness is controlled by pulse timing rather than a dial, and the clear lid lets you check progress as you go.
