This model from Baratza has a few things going for it, including a nice set of conical burrs, as well as a high-quality motor. It's more expensive than the other models we've tested however it comes with numerous features that are worth the extra cost. It has several options that let you adjust the grind for espresso. It also comes with an in-built portafilter that lets you grind straight into your brew.

Another great feature of this model is that it's made with a ceramic disc that doesn't heat up as quickly as metal ones. This helps keep your beans from oxidizing and heating up which can alter the flavor of your coffee.

This is the top grinder we could find when you're in search of an inexpensive grinder that doesn't sacrifice quality. It has a large hopper that can hold around 4 cups of coffee. It also features an ergonomic design, making it comfortable to use and hold. It's also incredibly quiet, which means you can grind your coffee without disturbing any other people in the home.

Before you start cleaning your grinder, be sure it's not stuffed with coffee beans. After each use, you should clean it by vacuuming or wiping the insides with an abrasive pad to remove any remnants. Be careful not to get your hands on the burrs! They're sharp and If you slip or fall, you could cut your fingers.

Powerful

A quality mini electric grinder can grind beans finely enough to make espresso, but coarse enough for drip/pour-over. It's also compact, which means it is still able to fit other appliances in your kitchen cabinets. The top ones also keep the same grind. They are quieter and produce less heat than blade grinders. This is because they don't chop up the beans while they spin, like blade grinders do. The main disadvantage of a blade-style grinder is that it could result in large differences in the size of the ground coffee and can result in a cup that is inconsistent.

On the other hand, a burr grinder creates consistently sized grounds that are uniformly sized. It operates by spinning flat burrs, which rotate to crush and break down the bean. This can be done at a slower speed than a blade grinder and the result is more even, consistent ground that won't get stuck in your French press.

A majority of the top mini electric coffee grinders utilize stainless steel set of burrs. These are more durable than ceramic ones and last longer. They also provide a more uniform grind than blades, which means you can be sure of getting the same results for each batch of coffee you make.

Many complain about the sound level of these grinders, however, the volume of noise will depend on the motor's power and how fast you're grinding. In most cases the noise won't be loud enough to wake your family, but it could bother some people.

If you are looking for a quieter grinder, you can consider the Breville Smart Grinder Pro. This burr grinder comes with powerful motors that run at a low speed. It has a digital display that displays your settings so you know that you are grinding according to the right brewing method.

The grinder is a bit more expensive than other grinders, but its superior performance makes it worth the extra cost. The stainless steel burrs can endure lots of abuse, and they won't overheat or cause clogging. The model also comes with a glass catch container that can hold up to 30g of ground and has an elegant look that matches other modern appliances.

Compact

There are a variety of options for compact electric grinders if you love coffee but have limited space. But not all of them can deliver consistent grinds at a price that is affordable. The Baratza Encore ESP is the best home espresso grinder option. This model is among the most sought-after and affordable grinders on the market. It also has many of the features that we've come expecting from top-quality grinders.

It is lightweight, compact and simple to use. The removable hopper can fit up to 24 grams of beans, which is approximately two cups worth. And it's designed to make cleaning up easy as the stainless steel coffee grinder electric steel chamber is easy to pop out and can be tossed in the dishwasher.

The Encore ESP has 40 different settings for grinding including 20 that are suitable for espresso. Setting 8-12, which is easily adjusted by twisting the top hopper, produced grounds that were similar to espresso. It's great for pour-overs, or other methods that require a coarser ground. The dosing cups are convenient for transferring ground coffee directly to either a 54mm portafilter or a 58mm professional one.

Additionally as an added benefit, the Encore ESP can also be used to grind spices and nuts making it an ideal kitchen appliance that is ideal for traveling. Plus, the quiet operation won't disturb anyone near.

The Baratza Encore ESP does have some drawbacks, though. It's not a fast grinder. It takes about 20 minutes to grind a cup, which can be frustrating when you're in an edgy state. It also doesn't have either a timer or digital display, which could make it difficult to determine precisely the amount you're grinding.

The biggest flaw is stainless steel burrs. They tend to be blunt more quickly than ceramic burrs. Fortunately, this won't be an issue for the majority of people since they won't be grinding hundreds of cups of coffee each day. If you're planning to use your grinder for commercial grinder purposes it's worth thinking about ceramic burrs, which are less likely to chip and last longer.
