Overview
The CG836B is a flat burr electric grinder with 32 grind settings and a 40-second timer, sized for drip, pour over, French press, cold brew, moka pot or espresso style grinding. Its footprint is 5 by 9.7 by 6.5 inches.
Grind amount is set by time rather than by weighing beans, so the 40-second timer and 32 settings work together to approximate a batch size for a given brew method. A built-in cutoff limits continuous operation to 120 seconds before requiring a cooldown, which protects the motor rather than the coffee. The removable hopper and included cleaning brush are meant for daily use rather than occasional grinding.
- 32 grind settings, 40-second timer
- Flat burr grinding mechanism
- 5 x 9.7 x 6.5 inch footprint
- 200 watt motor, 120 volt
Who it's for
Fits someone brewing at home who wants one grinder across several methods, from espresso-fine to French-press-coarse, without weighing every batch. Not the pick for anyone wanting weight-based single-dose grinding for precision espresso.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 32 grind settings span espresso to French press
- Compact footprint for small counters
- Removable hopper and brush for cleaning
- Grinds by time, not bean weight
- 120-second continuous run limit before cooldown
Performance notes
Grind consistency comes from the flat burr set turning for a chosen number of seconds rather than measuring bean weight, so results depend on keeping bean fill and timer setting consistent between batches. The 120-second continuous-use limit means grinding a larger batch may require a short pause partway through rather than one uninterrupted run.
