How to choose
Grind settings and burr type
Grind settings change how coarse or fine the grounds are, and a burr grinder crushes beans between burrs for a uniform grind. The KRUPS gives 12 settings with flat metallic burrs, the OutIn gives 28 settings with a 38mm heptagonal conical burr, and the LAMIDO gives 38 settings. For espresso, use finer settings, and for French press, use coarser settings.
Capacity and battery
Capacity is how much coffee the grinder holds per load, and battery life is how many shots it gives per charge. The KRUPS has an 8 oz capacity for 2-12 cups, the OutIn has a 25 g capacity and gives up to 18 shots of espresso per charge, and the LAMIDO has a 25g bean hopper and a 50g grinding container with a 2000 mAh battery. Compare capacity with battery when you travel, since a larger hopper means fewer refills for a group.
Cleaning and auto-stop
Auto-stop stops grinding when the selected amount is done, so you do not need to watch the grinder for the full run. The KRUPS stops automatically when the selected quantity is reached, the OutIn stops automatically when beans are ground, and the LAMIDO stops automatically after grinding completes.
