Overview
A stainless steel electric burr grinder with 12 grind settings for everything from cold brew to espresso, an 8 oz bean hopper, and a removable burr and chamber for cleanup.
This is a settings dial and a timer, not a scale-based grinder, so portion control comes from choosing a cup quantity and letting the auto-stop cut power rather than weighing beans. The flat metal burr construction favors grind consistency over the fine control a conical burr can offer, which matters more for drip and French press than for dialing in espresso. KRUPS pitches only the two finest settings for espresso, a narrower window than dedicated espresso grinders give.
- 12 grind settings, coarse to fine
- 8 oz bean hopper capacity
- 110W motor, stainless steel body
- Auto-stop at selected cup quantity
Who it's for
Good fit for a household that brews more than one way, drip some days and French press or cold brew on others, and wants one grinder to cover that range. Espresso purists chasing a specific extraction time will likely outgrow the two-finest-setting ceiling.
Pros and cons
- Covers five brew styles from one dial
- Removable burr and chamber ease cleanup
- Auto-stop sets portion by cup count
- Espresso needs the two finest settings only
- Static cling is a known issue per the maker
Performance notes
The flat metal burr spins at a fixed setting chosen from the 12-position dial, and grind time is governed by the auto-stop rather than a weight scale, so output is set by quantity (2 to 12 cups) rather than grams. KRUPS recommends freshly roasted beans and the two finest settings specifically for espresso, an acknowledgment that the range leans toward drip and immersion brewing. The listing also flags overfilling and static cling as real usage issues, telling buyers to grind in smaller batches and tap the hopper before opening it.
