How to choose
Burr or blade
A burr grinder crushes beans between two grinding surfaces, while a blade grinder chops beans with spinning blades. The Hamilton Beach and Rounexes are burr grinders with 18 and 30 grind settings, while the Secura, Krups, and SHARDOR use stainless steel blades with time or pulse control. The Hamilton Beach and Rounexes suit espresso to French press grinds, and the blade models suit spices and herbs as well. Pick the grinding style that fits how you brew.
Capacity and settings
Bean capacity sets how much you grind at once, and grind settings set how fine the grounds come out. The Hamilton Beach holds 2 cups of beans with a 16 oz hopper, the Rounexes gives a 12 cup capacity, and the Krups holds 3 oz for 12 cups. The Hamilton Beach gives 18 settings and the Rounexes gives 30 settings, while the Secura, Krups, and SHARDOR set fineness by grind time or pulses. Match capacity and settings with how much coffee you brew.
Cleaning and weight
Removable parts and pieces that can be washed in a dishwasher set how easy cleanup is, and weight sets how easy the grinder is to move.

The SHARDOR weighs 0.77 lb, the Krups weighs 1.5 lb, the Secura weighs 2.2 lb, the Hamilton Beach weighs 3.2 lb, and the Rounexes weighs 5.8 lb. Check cleanup and weight before you buy.
