OXO Brew Compact Conical Burr Electric Coffee Bean Grinder - 50g Capacity

I have been using a regular blade grinder to grind my coffee with limited success. I bought this grinder because it was supposed to be easy to use. This is my first Conical Burr Coffee Grinder and I absolutely love it! My coffee is now being ground evenly with no large pieces mixed in with fine powder coffee. It makes a wonderful cup of coffee. It is super easy to use, very easy to clean, and I love the different grind settings. I use a brush to brush out the coffee because of some static, but that is not an issue for me. I also love that it's compact and easy to store on my shelf. But mostly, it grinds coffee perfectly, whether you are making espresso, or cold brew.... and that's what a good coffee grinder should do.

This is my first powered coffee grinder, and the experience has been overwhelmingly positive so far. The OXO Brew Compact Conical Burr Coffee Grinder (Model: 8720800) is everything I was hoping for when I started researching conical burr coffee grinders that I could actually afford. Just load whole beans into the top and hit the button. To prevent damage to the machine, the grinder runs for 40 seconds unless you stop it by hitting the button again. For a full hopper, that is not enough time to grind all of the beans, but I just hit the button again. You are supposed to run the grinder for about ten seconds with no beans before cleaning it anyway. I see a lot of complaints about the cleaning process, but I don't agree and don't understand the big deal. The hopper/upper grinder body, grounds receptacle, removable burr grinder, and bottom motor quickly separate into four pieces, and are easily brushed clean. I had a cheap three piece set of natural bristle pastry brushes in my utensil drawer, and have now dedicated one for cleaning the coffee grinder. It takes just a few seconds and it is totally clean. I've had none of the static issues mentioned by other reviewers, possibly because of my natural fiber brush. My beans are also freshly bought. There is a small amount of grounds residue that falls out during cleaning, but I wipe the countertop with a cloth or paper towel and it is gone. It takes less time than it does to rinse out my drip coffee maker and refill it with fresh water. The only question is long-term durability, so I will let you know about that in a few years. At setting "7" I have amazingly uniform, perfectly ground coffee that produces a wonderful brew with none of the bitterness or aftertaste of store-bought ground coffee.

So far so good with this grinder. We used a blade grinder for many years which has the virtue of being compact and inexpensive. I didn't expect to actually like it as much as I do but being able to just set the number press the button then do a few other things while it grinds is great. The consistent grind is also very nice, while the blade grinder isn't bad you have to guess or time your grinds this is so much easier. While less compact it does fit in the same space as our blade grinder and is great for single pot or pour over amounts of grind. Only downsides so far have been that it is a bit messier, grind sticks to the burr (even after a good tap) and some gets around the bin. The other downside is while there's lots of grind settings most seem to be useless. I grind french press metal screen at #6 and drip/pour over at #3, most of the grind settings seem way too. small nit: I wish it had better registration marks for re-assembly , you get used to it after a bit but it would be nice to have a visual indicator of where to line it back up to twist it into place.

Had been struggling with my coffee having a sour taste regardless of the beans, water temp, or brew time. Aeropress. Grind about 5 days worth at a time. Tried daily grinding - still sour. Friend suggested trying to beans grind finer. Old flat burr affordable grinder just couldn’t seem to grind finer. Time to shop for replacement. Criteria (in no particular order) was something that would fit in cabinet when not needed (very small kitchen), good rating for finer grind, no need for espresso fine, easy to clean, and not break the bank. Dithered over buying this or a baratza. Choose this one due to compact size, price, good rating from wire cutter, and easy to clean. No regrets! Morning coffee greatly improved with a 7 grind, fits easily in cabinet, and so easy to take apart and brush clean. Yes, there is a bit of grinds on counter and some static, but not a problem. Much less mess than former grinder. Good price and greatly improved coffee.

This grinder is fantastic. The reviews that talk about the grinder arriving used? Ignore them. When you get the box, it states they test their grinders with a small amount of coffee beans before packaging and may be residual coffee bean in the grinder. Complaints about static? Thats normal for grinders. Some grinders handle static better than others, but in simple terms, when you grind the beans at a high speed, you are actually stripping electrons which creates a charge imbalance, thus you have static. THANKFULLY they include a mini glass water spray bottle in the box. Spray your beans in the top hopper 3-4 times before grinding, shake em a little bit, then grind. This should drastically minimize the static in most cases. The footprint of this machine is what made it so attractive to me. It's truly compact and serves all of my coffee needs. You dont really need a hopper bigger than this 50g for at home use. You should be grinding your beans fresh every time you brew anyways. Only time I need more than 50g of bean at a time is if im making multiple cups for multiple people or if I'm making cold brew. It's so easy to use though, that running through a 2nd hopper of beans is such a none issue. Extremely easy to take apart and clean. Quieter than my last machine I bought 5 years ago. Grounds are consistent enough is size across grind sizes. Just PLEASE read the manual and the notices on the box. So many complaints I read that made me hesitant in buying this were explained literally on the box. The moment I opened it, read everything and tested, I fell in love with the machine.

This grinder performance it’s intended function well and the resulting coffee is great, but the cons may outweigh the pros. This is my first grinder. The price was right and it does grind well. However, because the bean hopper sits directly above the grinding container, you are forced to disassemble and clean the grinder daily. This also means dealing with that mess, daily. I have also been unable to resolve the static issue (tried water sprayer and water drops stirred into the beans). After 4-5 days I could probably make another pot of coffee just with the grinds that are sticking to the various parts of the grinder. A grinder that deposits the grinds into a separate container seems like a better design with less maintenance/daily mess, but they seem to come with an increased cost.

As someone who enjoys a variety of coffees, and has a French Press, Drip, and stovetop Mocha unit...... I wanted a coffee grinder that would accommodate the different grinds needed. In doing my research I learned about the benefits of the Burr grinding method. Further research brought me to this OXO unit. The existing reviews were impressive. Now having this unit in my house, using 3 to 4 times a week over the last 6 months, I can say with confidence you will not be disappointed - it is amazing! The first thing you will notice is the attention to detail in the fit and finish. Next will be how quiet this grinder is. I am not saying silent, but it is a lot quitter then my old blade unit. You will not wake the dead when you want an early cup of coffee to start your day. Third, the uniformity of the grind. And forth and most important..... The taste of that first cup. We noticed a big difference... smooth, robust, and not bitter in the least. This grinder has a plethora of setting from fine to course. I use Fine for the Mocha, medium for the drip, and course for the FP. But with many incremental settings in between, I'm just now experimenting with these and finding there are reason I might use #5.5 instead of 9 in my drip from time to time. Supplied with the unit is a small spray bottle to help with static electricity. I used it at first and have stopped and have found if I just wait 30 second after down grinding, the static is no issue. Go ahead and buy this... without question, You will be very happy!!!

I love this grinder. After doing a bit of research I learned how awful my last, very basic grinder was, and all the reasons why stepping up my grinding game was a necessity. This OXO model, which was consistently the top recommendation across the board for a quality grinder under $100, has been great from the start. It’s on the quieter side imo for a bean grinder, it’s pretty easy to take care of, and I love how little room it takes up on the countertop. Zero complaints for me.

初めての電動ミル‼️取説が英語しか入って無かったけど、思ったより簡単で音もそんなにうるさくなかった！買って正解✌️

Excellent coffee grinder! Despite that is made in China, works very well. I was looking for a compact electric burr grinder, and after so much research, this is the smallest one and reliable I fund. Of course, the ones made in Europe are much more effective, but for household use, it works fantastic. Coffee ground settings from very tiny (for espresso) or very corse for regular coffee drip machine and french press. Easy to store in a deep drawer. Remember that the quality of the coffee beans you use is very important!

Excellent product. Grinds great and easybto clean I use a brush to clean it out which works great.
