The 5 Best Coffee Grinders In 2022

Having a great coffee grinder will elevate your at home brewing experience. The best coffee from home starts with having a grinder that will lead you down the path towards liquid gold.

A quick search on Amazon will most likely give you 1 million results for coffee grinders (might be a slight exaggeration), and leave you overwhelmed and more confused than when you started. We have been there and that is why we created this list of the Top 5 Coffee Grinders In 2022. 

We will give you details on each one, but if you don't feel like reading (we understand), simply scroll to the bottom to see our top 5 list.

One thing you should know before reading any further is that there are two different types of coffee grinders. Every grinder can be used by any skill level, but you might not find certain features to be important to you. Luckily, we have you covered and will help you figure out exactly what you are looking for. Although all of our selections are Burr Grinders, you should still know the difference between the two types of coffee grinders you may come across.

Burr grinders typically come at a higher price but are definitely worth the investment. A Burr grinder ensures that you will get an even grind. A uniform grind size will directly impact how well your coffee is brewed. Coffee Grinder

Blade grinders are often cheaper but chop up beans vs actually grinding them. If the only way you make coffee is by using a reusable K-Cup a blade grinder might be okay for you. However, you will still get a better extraction from your Keurig/Single serve machine using a burr grinder. Fun Fact: If you have a blade grinder you don't have to get rid of it, it can still be useful for making your own spices.

The KRUPS Precision grinder is a great price, produces a uniform grind, but makes sacrifices when it comes to cleanability, and fine grinding for espresso.

For this coffee grinder, KRUPS uses a flat burr to ensure whatever grind size you choose, comes out perfect. It is compact and weighs just over four pounds which makes it perfect for counters with little room. KRUPS offers 12 different grind sizes, but the fine setting isn't fine enough to make great espresso. 

The coffee container that receives the ground beans becomes dirty immediately due to its clear plastic casing. The coffee bean container has the same issue, so if you don't want to do a deep clean every time you grind your beans this might not be for you. Coffee Grinder

Pro: Great value; Compact; Easy to Use

Con: Hard to Clean; Noisy; Poor Grind For Espresso

The Cuisinart DBM-8 burr grinder ranked at number four on our list due to its affordability, 18 grind settings, and user-friendly construct.

This coffee grinder is a great option for people just getting into grinding their beans, and for individuals not wanting to grind for espresso. When used on an espresso grind setting the result is a powder vs a fine grind. Coffee grinder

This machine is noisy, and is difficult to clean, so if you are someone who likes to change the types of beans you use often you may want to keep scrolling.

Finally, this coffee grinder offers an electric timer that automatically shuts off the grinder when the cycle is complete, ensuring you get the right amount of grounds and consistency you are looking for (minus espresso). If you are interested in exploring the world of coffee, and the various ways to make it we have much better options below. Coffee Grinder
