Amazon's mass-market burr grinder, with about 49,000 ratings, and Good Housekeeping's pick for cold brew and French press. But Serious Eats calls its burrs dinky and the grind inconsistent, and both experts and owners say it's very loud and doesn't last.

What experts say

  • Good Housekeeping: Best for cold brew and French press coffee; its con is loud grinding.

If that catch is a deal-breaker

Highly ranked coffee grinders whose biggest complaint is something else.

#1 in coffee grindersTimemore Chestnut C5 Pro Manual Hand Grinder

Wirecutter's best hand grinder: even grinds from a 42 mm steel burr, a smooth crank and a sturdy aluminum body. But it makes only one or two cups at a time, fine grinds take close to 3 minutes and get tiring, and some owners find the grind adjustment tricky.

Its catch: small batches, slow at fine settings#3 in coffee grindersFellow Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2

Among the most consistent and quietest grinders in Serious Eats' and Food & Wine's tests, with 64 mm flat burrs. But it can't grind for espresso, it jams if the cup is misaligned, and 24% of its Amazon ratings are 1-2 stars, with jamming as the main complaint.

Its catch: jams and clogs#4 in coffee grindersOXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Best overall at Serious Eats and Good Housekeeping and Wirecutter's budget pick, with a tidy steel bin and a simple timer. But it's less consistent at the coarse and fine ends, it can clog with oily beans, and reliability is mixed on Amazon.

Its catch: clogs, especially with oily beans
