How to choose
Burr versus blade grinding
A burr mill crushes beans, while a blade or spin design cuts them. The Cuisinart flat burr mill crushes beans rather than chopping them for a uniform particle size, and the Lonkion flat metal burr head gives an even and consistent grind. The Hamilton Beach uses stainless steel blades, the KRUPS uses Vortex Spin technology with an oval design, and the SHARDOR uses a 2-blade bowl. Pick burr for uniform particles, or blade and spin for a simpler grind.
Grind settings and capacity
Grind settings set how fine or coarse the grounds come out, and capacity sets how many cups one batch covers. The Cuisinart offers 18 settings from ultra-fine for espresso to extra-coarse for a French press or cold brew, and the Lonkion offers 28 settings from fine for espresso to coarser for French press. The SHARDOR uses a timed knob from 0 to 30 seconds instead of numbered settings. For capacity, the Lonkion, the Hamilton Beach and the KRUPS each cover 12 cups, and the SHARDOR covers about 10 cups.
