TOP-5 coffee grinders with grind adjustment

The Cloer 7560 coffee grinder has a stylish body and functionality that will allow you to enjoy aromatic coffee drinks every day. The medium-sized bean compartment (150 g) does not require frequent replenishment. It is hermetically sealed with a lid, preventing moisture from entering and losing its original properties. There is an adjustable grind level with a good range of settings using a rotary mechanical dial. This provides the required fraction and the opportunity to obtain the necessary strength and taste that a gourmet will like.

The user does not need to control the grinding process because there is a dispenser. It is enough to set the desired number of cups (from 2 to 12), and the system will determine and prepare the required volume of ground coffee automatically, allowing you to enjoy a carefree morning. The compartment for the finished product is large enough and removable, so you can quickly pour all the contents into the coffee maker and divide it into portions with a teaspoon.

A simple and affordable Cloer 7560 coffee grinder is equipped with metal millstones, which provide a wide variety of grinding degrees, as well as uniformity of the finished product. You can quickly get a small amount of coffee using the pulse mode, for example, to brew one cup of drink. The switching on is blocked if the compartments for beans and ground coffee are opened. Rubber feet minimize vibration and provide stability on slippery surfaces. The cord is conveniently hidden in the case for storage in the closet.

Despite the quite affordable price of the Melitta Molino coffee grinder, the manufacturer classifies it as professional equipment, which is intended as an addition to the hardware of cafeterias. There are no complaints about the design and dimensions of the model. The device turned out to be very compact due to the absence of a tower superstructure for filling coffee beans, which usually crowns the coffee grinder. The loading hopper is located directly in the body of the device and holds approximately 200 g of roasted beans. It is covered with a transparent plastic lid on top. At the bottom there is a removable container for crushed grains, also made of transparent plastic.

The device is equipped with an economical 100 W electric motor that can operate continuously for up to 5 minutes. True, after such an intensive operating mode, it needs to cool down for about 30 minutes. And the optimal operating conditions for the coffee grinder is a uniform combination of load/rest of 90/90 seconds. On the front panel there is a rotary control for setting the coffee grinding time, which determines the yield of powder for a certain number of cups (from 2 to 14). And on the left side there is a wheel for adjusting 17 grinding levels for espresso 1 - 3, filter coffee 2 - 13 and French press 12 - 17. The small milling unit was slightly disappointing: it does not contain a traditional pair of conical millstones at all, but is equipped only with some semblance disk mechanism that crushes and grinds grains. Due to the low quality of fine grinding, the device did not live up to expectations when used with espresso machines and is recommended for fans of filtered coffee.

The model is designed to operate automatically after the start button is activated and stops grinding grains after the conditions of the specified settings are met. Thanks to its thoughtful design, most components are easily removable, making it easier to maintain and clean the device. The coffee grinder is made of black plastic and is available in 2 modifications, which differ only in the presence of a red ring around the steel dispenser disk in one of them. The manufacturer has established a 5-year service life for the device and gives it a 2-year international warranty.

The Sencor brand coffee grinder works quickly (thanks to a 200-watt motor) and is almost automatic. You just need to set the degree of grinding (a rotary lever is offered for smooth selection from fine (Fine) to coarse (Coarse)) and set the timer to the desired number of cups from 2 to 12 (respectively from 10 to 60 grams of ground coffee).

And instead of a full-fledged dispenser, the compartment itself has notches that indicate the filling level. For example, we set the timer slider to four and poured beans into the container to the level of 4 cups.

Sencor SCG 3550SS is not very bulky (dimensions 216x135x100 mm), so it has a place even in a small kitchen. The removable bowl ensures ease of use. Among other ergonomic features, it is worth highlighting the protective mechanism (the model will not turn on if you do not close the compartment with beans with a transparent lid), non-slip feet and wire winding, like a vacuum cleaner.

Sencor SCG 3550SS is a knife grinder, that is, the main working element here is a double knife with titanium blades. They claim high strength, durability and improved grinding quality compared to analogues. They are also ready to work not only with coffee, but also with nuts, spices, herbs, and grinding other food products.

The disadvantages include noise (up to 80 dB), and the disadvantages are the knife grinding system, which is inferior to millstones. The beans are actually chopped rather than ground, which affects the quality of extraction (i.e. taste) of the coffee. True, not everyone will feel the difference. Another drawback is the short time of continuous operation: after 60 seconds a pause of about 10 minutes is needed. Although at light loads this will not be a problem.

The Sencor SCG 3550SS is an interesting choice for undemanding coffee fans and those interested in more than just a coffee grinder, but a more versatile kitchen assistant.

The German brand Krups made a name for itself in the production of coffee machines and coffee makers. And to load them with freshly ground coffee, its range of products includes several good coffee grinders, one of which is the Krups GVX2 burr type model.

The model is enclosed in a high-quality plastic case, in which two removable transparent containers stand out: the upper container is designed to load coffee beans with a total weight of up to 200 g, and the lower container serves as a container for storing ground coffee. It holds up to 125 g of ready-to-use mixture.

Using the knob on the right wall of the device, you can adjust the degree of grinding of the grains - the user has a choice of 17 grinding levels. A mechanical dispenser on the front panel of the coffee grinder allows you to select the required amount of coffee (from 2 to 12 cups). The consumption of coarse ground coffee per cup will be about 12 g, medium - 10 g and fine - 7 g.

Many coffee grinder owners blame several shortcomings in the design of the model. Firstly, when you take out the container with the finished mixture, some of the ground coffee inevitably spills onto the table (from the coffee supply hole from the millstones). Secondly, for some reason the German engineers did not provide a place to store the power cord. Finally, thirdly, when the upper container is fully loaded, coffee beans sometimes get stuck in front of the millstones, which can be cured by slightly shaking the coffee grinder body.

Minor defects do not affect the quality of coffee grinding - the Krups GVX2 copes with its main responsibilities better than ever. She manages to easily and quickly grind beans to the required degree of grinding, depending on where you plan to brew coffee: in a drip or carob coffee maker, or in a Turk.

For sure, the Italians know a lot about good coffee, the key to which is the correct grinding of the beans. The De'Londhi KG 79 burr type coffee grinder, originally from the Apennine Peninsula, helps you obtain ground coffee with a uniform structure.

The model is housed in a black rectangular case. The base of the “body” of the coffee grinder is metal, while the transparent containers for beans and ground coffee are made of plastic. The capacity of each pallet is 120 g. By the way, the device starts up only when the containers are installed in the “seats”. If they are absent, the security system blocks the movement of the tandem of metal discs that grind the coffee into a uniform consistency.

There are only two “levers” for controlling the coffee grinder: the regulator on the front panel allows you to select the number of servings at the output (from 2 to 12 cups), and the “twist” on the left side of the case is used to set the desired degree of grinding. It is extremely important for obtaining a drink of a certain taste and strength. For example, coarse grinds work well for making coffee in drip coffee makers, while fine grinds are an excellent option for espresso machines.

In reviews of the model, users often blame the grains for not grinding finely enough in the minimum position of the side adjuster. The problem is eliminated with minor modifications to the millstones in order to narrow the gap between them in the working position. But with the container for whole grains, the Italian engineers who developed the device acted wisely - it is covered with a transparent lid on top to prevent the aroma from eroding and the raw material from absorbing excess moisture. An additional plus in the coffee grinder is a compartment for the power cord, which allows you to organize neat cable management on the kitchen countertop.
