voyager Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Does anyone have a recommendation for a good burr coffee grinder, one that doesn't spit grounds all over the counter, that is easy to retrieve grounds from? I'm still using a several decade old Krups that spews grounds in a foot circle, has sharp interior corners where you have to dig the grounds out. Grinding the daily coffee has become a variant of "Hit the ball, drag Harry." 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitchells Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I use a Capresso Infinity. It gets a bit staticky sometimes which results in grinds going up the sides but otherwise not messy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollywood Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Cuisinart makes a serviceable burr grinder for about $100 retail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taion Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I am very happy with the Baratza Preciso. I end up with a little bit of sweeping after putting the grounds holder back in the machine, but it's just been a really great little grinder for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Barratza, Capreso, Rocky - I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thanks everyone for these good suggestions. After reading reviews, and realizing that mine (an original Braun some 30 years old without a sick day) is still producing consistently good grounds, and learning that some degree of incontinence seems to be indemic, I guess I'll hang in until replacement becomes mandatory. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Braun-4045-White-Burr-Coffee-Grinder/272078593625?_trksid=p2141725.c100338.m3726&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150313114020%26meid%3D2290088e90a24793a2bf48500b678fbf%26pid%3D100338%26rk%3D9%26rkt%3D11%26sd%3D301819038558 Like the Italian cookie, it's brutto ma buono.

taion Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well, you listed them in an order that implied you thought the Rocky was better. It probably is, too, for espresso Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Karpf Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I second the Capresso Infinity, on the low/affordable end of the burr price spectrum. It was recommended to me by Tony "Tonx" Konecny of coffee on the opposite coast, and aside from me having to tap the tray to shake some grinds off its inner sides, I've been very happy with it.

StephanieL Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone use the Hario manual grinder? That's going to be N's Christmas gift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone use the Hario manual grinder? That's going to be N's Christmas gift. I use it for drip (the plastic / vacuum locking version). Some 120 cranks per cup, but it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
