Product Description
Because the best coffee starts from the grounds up, we created the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder to help your beans unlock their full potential. The design is simple, so nothing stands between you and your first cup. Just add beans and choose from 15 grind size settings—from fine for espresso to coarse for French press—then turn the dial to select grinding time and push to start. Stainless steel conical burrs create uniform grounds, for gold-cup flavor, and the one-touch timer keeps your last setting, so you don’t have to reset it every time. The Grinder holds up to ¾ lb (12 oz) of coffee beans in a UV-blocking hopper so your coffee tastes fresh. Finally, making great coffee doesn’t have to be a grind.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024Style: Matte Black Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseBought this when the last one died... or so I thought. But that's another story for another day.
This little guy is a workhorse! It takes up probably half the space of the old one and it is so much quieter it's not funny. Which is good, because I have guinea pigs who are terrified of any loud noises, even ones they've heard hundreds of times... like the coffee grinder.
It grinds nicely, is easy enough to clean, and--bonus--the stainless catch-basin for the grounds does not build up static electricity. I used to get grounds jumping all over the counter, enough in a week to make another whole cup of coffee: I get absolutely no scatter with this, don't have to brush them out of the container to brew, etc.
So. Good price. Neat. Quiet. Small. Does a good job. Easy to clean. What's not to love?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseI've owned this grinder now for 2 months and love it! Truly grinds from fine to course grain with ease! I was using a built in grinder for my grind and brew coffee maker that is the blade type and this is a BIG upgrade!
I want to address some things that I read in other's reviews here that almost kept me from buying this grinder. First, it will grind any type of roasted bean....from dark to light and from flavored to not flavored without fail or issue. There were some saying that it clogs the grinder, etc. That is not 100% true if you do what I mention next....
Secondly, this grinder needs to be cleaned after each use! I was used to doing this with my built in grind and brew coffee maker and honestly, it does not take that much more time to do. The conical grind component comes out and you are able to clean it with a toothbrush - that's what I use for this part and the internal part. I do this after each use and I have not had any issues with it clogging up during grinding. I realize that some people don't want to do this each day but if you do not do that, then I can totally see how it clogs up.
Thirdly, some report that the cup that catches the ground coffee does not make good contact with the grinder and makes a mess. I'm not sure if there were some early models or different versions, but mine that I bought 2 months ago kind of snaps the cup in place which hold it tight to the spot where the grounds come out. No mess and definitely no issues with having to hold the cup in place.
I think a lot of the issues reported by other reviews and users seem to point to not reading the instructions, not paying attention to how the grinder goes together and work, or is related to a version of this grinder that may have had it's issues in the past. But for me and the version I got 2 months ago, this thing is solid and has been producing some great ground coffee for me and my family for 2 months now.
By the way, if you are curious of the frequency...I grind and brew my coffee every weekday except for Friday morning - so 4 days out of a 7 day week.
Make the purchase....you will not be disappointed! And follow some of what I shared around cleaning!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified Purchase(I am an ex professional barista.)
CONS:
-The grounds container doesn't lock into place and will sometimes vibrate out during grinding. This is the only serious flaw with the product, and I feel it's a minor one. I've gone through many of the reviews and it seems that it's simply a matter of construction inconsistency. Most people's containers "click" into place; a minority do not. I was just unlucky enough to get one of the ones that don't.
-You can't remove the bottom burr to clean it. They really did do their best to make this easy to clean and I appreciate that you don't have to undo a bunch of microscopic screws just to clean your burrs, but I really wish I could remove BOTH burrs to give them a thorough wipe-down. It's difficult to clean the one that's stuck inside the grinder. The other lifts out easily by a cute little handle.
PROS:
-High quality, consistent grind. The brewing methods I use most all hover around the medium grind range, so I haven't really tested the extremes of coarse and fine. Can't speak to those. But as far as the medium ranges, it grinds beautifully and consistently. That's what matters in the end, right?
-The beans feed very well, even for single dosing. Never an issue.
-As mentioned above, the ability to clean the grinder is taken into account in the construction. No need to delicately deconstruct the whole thing and keep track of a bunch of itty bitty screws and springs. The top part of the grinder and the top burr simply turn-and-lift out, and then turn-and-lock back into place. So nice.
-It's aesthetically pleasing and takes up little room on the counter. All the materials have a quality feel.
-It isn't super noisy. All grinders are gonna make noise, to be sure, but as far as grinders go, this one has a pretty gentle sound. I've definitely used my fair share of grinders that made me feel like my brain was going to vibrate out of my skull, and this one has a polite hum by comparison.
-The price for this level of quality is unbeatable. I can't even believe I paid less than one hundred dollars for this. Real talk, folks: these are steel conical burrs. Solid construction. 40+ grind settings. Did I mention steel conical burrs? I never thought I would own something like this for less than $250. You cannot beat this price point/quality intersection. You just can't. This grinder is price-meets-quality king.
USAGE:
You're working with three variables: time, grind, and amount. There are two popular approaches to working out your dose.
Method 1: You leave 'amount' as the open variable. With this method, you dump all your beans in the hopper and store them there. You then adjust grind and time until you're getting the right dose at the right grind level.
Method 2: You leave 'time' as the open variable. With this method, you only deposit the amount of beans you plan to use for each dose, adjust the grind as needed, and let it take whatever amount of time it takes. You're adjusting the amount and the grind, rather than adjusting the grind and the time. (This is called "single dosing.")
Go to any coffee forum, and you'll be pages of debate about which of these methods is superior. Honestly, you should use the method that feels best for YOU.
The reason I bring it up here is because people seem anxious that Method #2 will damage the burrs over time, since you run them all the way to empty every time you grind.
Here's my take: I use Method #2, because I feel that the beans start to taste stale if left in the hopper. (Everyone's tastebuds are different; there's no right or wrong.) This means that I let the burrs run until I hear the sound change from a low growl to a high pitched growl, which indicates that the burrs are grinding empty, and then I manually stop the grind.
I honestly don't see any issue with this, and I don't feel any anxiety about it. Think about it: if you're cleaning the burrs between bean swaps, you're letting them run for several seconds on empty anyway. Even the manufacturer instructions tell you to do this when cleaning the burrs! The only difference here is that instead of intentionally running them on empty for several seconds to clean them, you're running them on empty for one single second every day/dose. I'd never recommend doing that on a fine espresso setting, but as long as you're in the medium-to-coarse range, I don't see any possible ways the burrs could damage each other. There's no way the burrs are touching at that distance, regardless of variables like heat expanding the metal and other things coffee nerds like to debate about.
I hope this review was helpful. I'll update in a year to let you know if this grinder held up through daily use.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseWHAT I LOVE is the timer. I found an 11 sec grind is the perfect amount for a morning cup. The holder is made of Stainless Steel and this reduces static to almost none. WONDERFUL. This feature is found on 200 dollar machines. Before I would grind enough for a couple of pots or more. Now i freshly grind for just one pot at a time. TY OXO for another product that worked as advertised.
I did a lot of reading before getting this model. The cheapest burr grinder out there is $50. I had that and it worked for years. Static and uneven grind was a problem I lived with. The units that always score high are semi pro units at $200. This unit will give you fine grind for expresso. Real coffee snobs will criticize its expresso is not fine enough but for me it is fine. I use a slow drip and I can easily adjust the grind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing!
Style: Matte Black Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseThis grinder is a game-changer if you’re looking to elevate your coffee experience! It’s smaller than I expected but built with excellent quality like all OXO products. It’s simple to use - just adjust the top to your preferred grind size. I keep it in the middle setting, which is medium for drip machines, and it’s excellent. The built-in timer is also a great feature, letting you dial in the exact amount of grounds for your preferred taste. You’ll fine-tune it as you experiment with different beans, as some may require more or less grounds. I paired this with the OXO 8-cup coffee maker, and they’re a match made in heaven. The grinds are consistently uniform, and the grinder performs effortlessly every time. It’s a little loud, but that’s to be expected since it’s literally grinding beans, not overly loud, though. If you’re serious about fresh, great-tasting coffee, invest in quality beans, this grinder, and a reliable, SCA-approved coffee maker like the OXO 8 cup, you won’t regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent grind, easy to use and easy to clean
Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseHave had this unit for over three years now and use it daily at least once (sometimes two or three times a day). By my rough calculation, we've ground well over 150 pounds of coffee during that time and this unit is still very much going strong!
This grinder always provides coffee grinds that are consistent in size, with very few outliers that are a tad finer. From fine to coarse & light to dark (and everything in between), it works well with all types of roast and all types of beans. The anti static properties they claim are effective, with a light tap to the side of it, the grounds come out of the stainless receptacle cleanly.
It's also easy to disassemble it to clean the burrs and hopper out. Simpler yet to adjust the grind (sometimes it's a tad at TOO easy - keep an eye on the dial to make sure that you haven't moved it by accident).
I don't find the timer a useful feature personally - however I'm a stickler for accuracy, so I weigh every batch before and after it gets ground. A timer is FAR too general of a measurement for my liking. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
All in all, my wife and I really like this grinder! If it were to break down tomorrow - we wouldn't hesitate to replace it with the exact same model.
In a sleepy early morning daze a few weeks ago - my wife poured boiling water through the grinder by accident! She unplugged it immediately, and I proceeded to disassemble it and blow it out with compressed air. After leaving it apart for a day or two over the furnace vent for it to dry out completely, it went back together just fine and it seems none the worse for wear.
I noticed when I had it apart that it was pretty well designed and built in my opinion. I am a technician by trade, so I notice that kind of stuff. The components seem to be of high quality as well. Highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars No AC power adapter supplied as claimed in the listing, to enable its use in Europe.
Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified PurchaseNo AC power adapter supplied as claimed to enable its use in Europe. Ad states it comes with an adapter but no adapter was included. I am complaining to Amazon today as it is an Amazon.de (Europe) fulfilled item and am waiting on Amazon's response. i.e. will Amazon send the missing adapter out or just lamely just say to return it. I am after a good coffee grinder and this potentially was a good one... Amazon?

5.0 out of 5 stars 大量にひける
Style: Silver Burr Coffee GrinderVerified Purchaseこれはいい!大量の豆を一気にひくので、ちまちませずに助かります。スピードも早いし、粒の状態も選べて、取り扱いも簡単。難を言えば、予想以上に機械が大きいので収納には困りますが、しょっちゅう使う人なら出しっぱなしになるでしょう。でも目の前にあればコーヒー豆をひくのも面倒くさくならないので、美味しいエスプレッソを毎日いただけます。いい買い物でした。
