The Top Coffee Grinders

Krups GVX1 Electric Burr Grinder

$54.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.cooking.com
i was impressed with how quiet it is compared to my own "blender styled" grinder.
from Douglas, www.cooking.com
there are a few minor negatives, however.some reviews noted the grinder is quiet but i found it was almost as noisy as the little impact grinder i used to use.
from www.cooking.com
the grinder takes a little practice to use effectively but the quality of the burr ground coffee is noticeably better than blade ground coffee and the grinding process is quieter.
from www.cooking.com
it looks great on the counter, runs fairly quietly, and isn't gigantic!
from www.amazon.com
it does skip and has jammed once, but in my experience working with professional burr grinders you won't find a grinder that never does.

certainly not fine enough for espresso.

Team International Kalorik

$109.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife who wanted a coffee maker that could grind the coffee and had a timer.
from www.amazon.com
I tried to change my rating because not only did I run into problems with the grinder, but also the pump for the water stopped working, this machine is JUNK!

Mazzer Mini Burr

$689.00 Est. at Amazon

from pawilsnj, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: if you're planning to stay in the espresso game, save yourself some time, money, and frustration.
from www.amazon.com
the mini mazzer has become the favorite and most sought after grinder by home espresso users.
from www.amazon.com
the machine is a professional beauty.
from www.amazon.com
it isn't overly loud.
from www.amazon.com
As an owner of a Mazzer Super Jolly (a step up from the Mini) the following review is offered on the Mini Mazzer, which is just a baby version of mine and incorporates most, if not all, of the features of their larger grinders.

Macap Doser M4

$527.00 Est. at Amazon

from Reviewer: Gary K. (2) from Sammamish, WA US, www.1st-line.net
as well known as a mazzer mini, the macap has been getting good reviews as the one that might finally unseat the mini from its position as the best grinder for the serious home espresso enthusiast.
from Reviewer: Michelle (2) from Georgetown, TX US, www.1st-line.net
the macap is our first semi/commercial grinder, the first step (well, second after good quality beans) in upgrading our espresso experience.
from www.amazon.com
the only potential downside is the stepped grind selector; many enthusiasts feel that fine-tuning should be done in the grinder, and that the steps are too large.
from teleplayer75, www.shopping.com
pros: quiet!

Gaggia 7001 7002 Electric Burr Grinder

$152.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Bought one less than 3 years ago and its stopped working motor runs but doesn't grind coffee.
from www.amazon.com
I'm not sure if this is exactly the one I bought - but it is similar.
from www.amazon.com
OK for drip and coarser functions, but due to the cheapness of the burr holders and excessive vibration, it cannot maintain the consistent coffee particle size needed for espresso.
from www.amazon.com
Ok, the good things first.
from www.amazon.com
this thing works really great.

Mr. Coffee IDS75 Electric Blades Grinder

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i read a comment that the product makes quite a bit of noise, but i don't find it unusual; and the beans are finished grinding in seconds, so whatever noise it makes isn't a big deal to me.
from www.amazon.com
even if it only lasts for 2 years, you could afford to buy 30 of them for what a small professional grade burr grinder would cost and it's actually easier to live with than the pro grade grinder
from www.amazon.com
this is not a professional grade grinder, it is not designed for commercial use.
from www.amazon.com
however, if you want a regular grind for drip coffee or a fine grind for expresso, it does a really good job at that.
from www.amazon.com
the grinder is not loud when it operates.

this is a great coffee mill - it is well made, attractive, grinds fast and compared to similar grinders, rather quiet.

from www.amazon.com
it is not as quiet as the $150 models, but for 1/3 the price still a really good grinder.

this grinder is a little loud, but for the price it does a fantastic job.
