Ground coffee at home: TOP 5 rotary coffee grinders

The rotary coffee grinder of a popular German manufacturer is today considered "popular", as it has been maintaining its leading position in sales for several years now. The Bosch MKM 6000 is available in white, while the 6003 is available in black (which looks a little more elegant).

The grinder is equipped with a 180W motor. This power allows you to grind at a time not only 75 grams of roasted beans, but also green coffee, cereals, sugar, etc. But the manufacturer recommends not to do this: loose products can clog the motor, and too hard ones can damage the plastic cover.

The design features of the Bosch MKM 6000 include the sloping bottom of the bowl. This improves bean mixing and achieves a more even and finer coffee grind.

The body of the coffee grinder, like the lid, is made of plastic, and the base of the bowl and knives are made of stainless steel. The design of the Bosch MKM 6000 is as simple and reliable as possible, so that, subject to the operating rules, there is practically nothing to break.

The disadvantages of the Bosch MKM 6000 include the lack of a cord storage system or devices for evenly winding it on the case. Of the minor shortcomings, we highlight the not very convenient process of cleaning the inner bowl and the possibility of spilling coffee when the lid is opened, but these moments are characteristic of most knife models.

All in all, if you are looking for an inexpensive, efficient and reliable coffee grinder, then the Bosch MKM 6000 is probably the best option.

The De'Longhi brand is often associated only with coffee machines and coffee makers, although it specializes in various household and climatic appliances. A worthy place in the line of the company is occupied by coffee grinders.

Knife model De'Longhi KG 49 has a plastic case that looks like an hourglass. The bowl is also made of plastic, but the base in the area where the knives are attached is metal. The coffee grinder is equipped with a 170-watt motor, which allows you to grind 90 grams of beans at a time (for 12 cups of coffee).

The De'Longhi KG 49 has a Push to grind system with the motor turning on when pressing on a single control button located on the grinder lid.

The advantages of a coffee grinder include a removable bowl. You can get it to pour ground coffee into the coffee maker, and then easily clean the container from small contaminants. The cleaning brush that comes with the package will also help with the latter. And for convenient storage of the product, a system for winding the power cord is provided.

De'Longhi KG 49, like more expensive burr coffee makers, allows you to adjust the degree of grinding. There is a special indicator with three modes — coarse, medium and fine. In fact, this is just a timer that will tell you when the coffee of the required consistency is obtained. But paired with a ring regulator for the number of cups, switching in the range from 2 to 12 (based on 1 tablespoon of grains = 1 serving), this functionality is quite useful and effective.

The disadvantages of the coffee grinder include large dimensions compared to analogues. Given the additional functionality, De'Longhi KG 49 can be recommended not only to owners of coffee makers of this brand without a grinding function, but to all coffee lovers.

Redmond RCG-CBM1604 is one of the most powerful rotary blade coffee grinders. Its power is 280 W with a maximum bowl capacity of 50 grams. Like Redmond RCG-M1606 , the model received a chrome-plated metal case with plastic inserts. This, together with the relatively compact size and bronze coloring, provides the coffee grinder with a stylish design.

Redmond RCG-CBM1604 is equipped with a stainless steel knife and bowl, which allows you to count on a durable and reliable operation of the product. In addition, this guarantees additional environmental friendliness of grinding, because steel does not affect the taste or smell of food.

Only the lid is made of plastic, equipped with a transparent window. It will help to visually control the degree of grinding. By the way, the cover is fixed by turning a few degrees, which adds convenience in operation. At the bottom of the case there is a compartment for winding the cord and rubber feet for stability.

The 280-watt motor Redmond RCG-CBM1604 provides a fairly fast operation of the device. At the same time, the noise level is not higher than that of models for 150 – 180 watts. To get ground coffee, 30 seconds or two cycles of half a minute are often enough. However there is a minus — the uniformity of grinding leaves much to be desired. Moreover, due to the increase in operating time, the situation is not particularly improving.

The main disadvantage of the Redmond RCG-CBM1604 is questionable security. Yes, the power button is placed on the lid, but even without it, the coffee grinder can be turned on — just press / touch a small pin located at the place where the lid is installed on the model body (it’s generally elementary to do with a child’s hand).

In general, Redmond RCG-CBM1604 looks interesting among metal models, but if there are curious and restless children in the family and/or special requirements for grinding quality, it is worth considering alternative options.

The German brand Profi Cook is a specialist in the manufacture of stainless steel household appliances. The KSW 1021 coffee grinder is also made of this material. The model has an attractive design, but due to its large capacity (85 gram bowl) it takes up a lot of space.

To grind with the Profi Cook KSW 1021, pour the grains into the bowl and fit the lid. It is she who gets into the closed groove on the body and starts the motor with a power of 200 watts. Accidentally turn on the device with your fingers will not work.

Model like Profi Cook PC-KSW 1093 , it is recommended to use it in pulse mode, alternately pressing the cover and releasing it for a few seconds. This principle of operation of the coffee grinder will provide finer and more uniform grinding, as well as protect the motor from overheating.

It is permissible to use Profi Cook KSW 1021 less than 2 – 3 cycles of 30 seconds each with short pauses. Already by the third start, the metal case heats up significantly, and then the grinder can automatically turn off. To resume work, you will have to wait for cooling to room temperature.

Together with Profi Cook KSW 1021, the customer receives two removable metal bowls. The main one (with a 2-sided blade) is designed for grinding coffee beans, and the additional one (with a 4-sided blade) is for grinding nuts, cereals, herbs, spices, various vegetables, hard cheese, etc. The bowls are easily removed for cleaning, securely fixed on the base of the coffee grinder (the motor will not work without proper installation).

If you follow the requirements of the Profi Cook KSW 1021 instructions, you will be pleased with its functionality. The model can be used not only for grinding coffee beans, but also for grinding various food products, which makes the device even more useful in the home kitchen.

A 200-watt coffee grinder from a brand from Germany will grind 90 grams of coffee beans at a time. Caso Coffee Flavor can also be used to grind spices and shelled nuts. The model is made in a silvery steel case, has a power cord storage system, is relatively compact, as for its spaciousness.

Caso Coffee Flavor is equipped with a metal bowl and a steel 2-sided chopping knife. It has markings for filling the container for 4 and 8 cups. And its removable design will take care of convenient extraction of ground coffee and cleaning of the bowl.

Caso Coffee Flavor uses a transparent plastic lid to start the grinding process. It provides not only the visibility of the grinding process, but also the safety of operation. Without proper closing, the rotary coffee grinder will not turn on.

The model has a pulsed mode of operation, which will not allow the motor to overheat. Alternately pressing and releasing the lid will also ensure that the coffee beans are ground evenly and finely ground. At the same time, Caso Coffee Flavor heats up quite quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to adhere to the recommendations on the operating time of the device: every 30 seconds, make a minute pause, and after three successive grinding cycles, ensure that the body cools down completely.

The disadvantages of Caso Coffee Flavor include the cost. In terms of manufacturing materials, functionality and price, the model resembles the Profi Cook KSW 1021, only in that coffee grinder there is an additional grinder in the delivery set, but not here, so the entire operational load falls on one bowl and a double knife. Otherwise, the reliability, quality and design here correspond to the best standards of rotary coffee grinders.
