SHARDOR Conical Burr Coffee Grinder Electric with Precision Electronic Timer

I purchased this as a whim because of the initial limited reviews and it’s price point. What is the worst i would be out of? I have had several grinders over the years, Turkish hand grinders, electric other manual grinders and so on. I believe that I got a great little grinder. For the most part the grinds are very even, little to no static electricity depending on the grind. The noise level is on the lower side. There is a proximity switch for the catcher to let you know it’s not all the way in. I like the UV protection of the hopper. It’s a tidy package and some how I missed the TWO year guarantee when initially ordered. For the money this is very well worth it if you need a grinder but don’t need the precision of a $500 grinder.For the grinds? Once again for the price I am not going to complain. I would say most of the grinds are about 95% there. The grinds are nearly even, if you need a super fine espresso grind for a super espresso maker then this may not be what you want but for a smaller espresso makers like a Delonghi, smaller breville, or an in intro espresso maker then this grinder is plenty fine. Once again the price makes it worth it. My pour over grinds seemed right on, I saw the same flow rate as my other pour over grinds, my espresso seem to pour the the same and my drip coffee also had the same quality as me getting something from my roaster. Would I make the 5% difference be a deal breaker for me? No not at all. Like I said, for the price I can happily live with it.The quality of the build, the fit of the touchscreen is spotless, I do not see any loose fitting edges or panels on the grinder, LED touch screen is bright and simple to use, the lid of the hopper fits well, the burr basket is easy to remove and place back in with a simple twist, easy to clean and easy assemble. This was well thought out.The two things that I ran across are these.The first one was a packaging detail. The lid for the catcher was missing. I did email them using the contact information on the box and I did get a response from them and they are mailing me the missing lid. This lid is not needed to make the grinder work. It’s there for after the grinding and you want to store the coffee in the catcher. They are taking care of it.The other is a minor point and I have other brushes from other grinders to use. The cleaning brush they send is a tad small for medium sized hands. If it was 10mm longer or half an inch longer then I would be happy. Is it needed? I have alternatives and even I did not it would not be a deal breaker for me. It’s just a suggestion.If you do not want to spend the money this grinder is worth it, if you need a grinder to learn on this one is worth it, do you need one for your camper or getaway home then this is worth it. I’m going to take it with me Glamping because frankly I can get another if I clumsily knock it down the hill side.

I purchased one of these a few months back because my grinder died on me suddenly at only the 3rd use. I had beans to grind and coffee to brew so I went for a more durable design. I can tell ANYONE this. It was the best decision I ever made! Simple to setup! Easy to use! And NOT a chore to clean! Then there is the auto-shut off with adjustable grinding time and of course almost endless adjustable grind settings! It grinds faster and so much more quietly than my original grinder did. I went through every Bag O Beans I needed to grind in less than half the time it took me to grind 3 bags with my "Old" dead grinder. 8 bags to OD's 3 in fact! You can not go wrong with this grinder!!! IF it dies I will buy another one in a heart beat!!

Nice solid built product and met my expectations. It's not totally quiet, but quieter than other grinders that I'vbe used. I really liked the product except that the unit I received had a poorly fitting bean hopper. Once the hopper was installed on the unit, it was impossible to remove the bean hopper for cleaning the conical grinder. I contacted Amazon and received a return authorization with UPS pickup at my home. I placed a new order for a replacement unit, but chose to step up to the next model which has a different bean hopper.I suspect the bean hopper problem was a manufacturing fluke, so will give the manufacturer another chance.

Excellent easy-to-use digital Conical Burr Coffee Grinder at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I use it mostly for drip coffee using a setting of 40-45, but I tried the various settings. I think this would be great for Expresso and others as well as it can produce very fine grinds. I found the Grinds to be very uniform. The machine is half as noisy as my brother's Cuisinart burr grinder (non conical) and this seems better built and certainly heavier. I love the anti-static features which my brother's Cuisinart didn't have and was messy with grounds flying all over. Tip: If you do not have the cord positioned well at the bottom and through the cord slot, the machine won't sit flat. I have run numerous full hoppers without any overheating, although I do wait a couple minutes after filling up a new hopper.For some reason, the order link for the digital anti-static Shardor coffee maker I bought is referring to a different model? The one I bought is below:Amazon.com: SHARDOR Conical Burr Coffee Grinder Electric, Adjustable Touchscreen Burr Mill with 48 Precise Settings, Precision Electronic Timer, Anti-static, Brushed Stainless Steel : Home & Kitchenhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKYZLK9B?ref=emc_p_m_5_i_atcHope this helps ...

I've used different grinders over the years from the ones with spinning blades (like tiny blenders), to burr grinders. My last one, one from a very prominent manufacturer, never really gave a grind fine enough for espresso drinks. Plus, it was very loud.This one took up less counter space, was quieter, and produced perfect grinds for my wife's French Press, as well as for my espresso maker. In fact, if I set it all the way down on the espresso range, it was actually too fine. I backed it up to the #26 setting, and it was perfect! I compared that setting with a commercially ground espresso, and they were nearly identical.Bottom line - I am extremely pleased with this machine and not only would I recommend it to a friend, I bought an additional one for my daughter.
