OXO BREW Conical Burr Coffee Grinder - Stainless Steel

My partner and I were long time fans of coffee makers that combine a grinding feature for super flavorful coffee. Unfortunately we found ourselves disappointed with these appliances because the humidity created by brewing caused constant jams, required cleaning after nearly every use and eventually broke. What a pain! After our last maker died we decided to purchase a drip coffee maker but missed freshly ground beans. We knew burr grinders were best, but I fretted that having two coffee gadgets required would be trouble. We were so pleased with this grinder the moment we opened the box. What genius put simplified directions ON THE INSIDE FLAP OF THE BOX? Everything should come in such easy packaging with accessible directions like this! There is an ample manual for really getting the most out of it, but it’s so easy to pop open the box and start using it-a key for very tired parents! We’ve tweaked our grind size and time-extremely easy to do! We love the simple design with a clear top for spotting how many beans are in the hopper, clearly visible numbers for grind size and a dial for the timer. The cup fits pretty snuggle with a lid under the chute although we have found that we end up with a small amount of grounds occasionally on the counter, it’s minimal and might be due to our anxiousness to get the coffee going. The black and brushed metal looks great on the counter and footprint is small enough under my cabinets that I don’t mind leaving it out, and I’m a little picky about kitchen clutter. All in all, we are very happy with the grinder. I can’t speak to very long time use but over several weeks we are problem free and seeing how well built it is I anticipate it lasting a long time to come!

Some of my favorite features are the hopper can be easily removed while beans still in it along with the static fighting bin. The Oxo Conical grinder also has 15 grind settings in addition to micro settings to get the exact grind needed. Nice looking design too. For the price point this grinder is an excellent value.

I have never had a burr grinder before and it made my morning cup of coffee so much easier to prepare. There was a little static in the grounds bowl the first time I used it, but it wasn't an issue. After some experiments, I've been putting the paper filter straight into the grounds cup and it works really well - there's less to clean up and I can really smell the freshly ground coffee without the snap-on lid. I love that I can set the number of minutes and I get the same amount of ground beans each time. It was really nice to have control over the size of the grind. I've ground coffee beans on a few different settings (for espresso, pour-over and French press) and besides a little sediment in the bottom of the last cup in the French press, it's been perfect. I've tried two different types of beans, one more oily, one less so, and I had no problems with either. The grinder doesn't take up much counter space and needs minimal cleaning. The cord is heavy duty and 40 inches long with a grounded plug. Overall, a great grinder that looks nice in my new kitchen! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

As a girl who takes her coffee pretty darn seriously and as a former master barista I'm pretty darn thrilled with the OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. It can do everything from a fine espresso to turkish grind up to your coarse cold brew all with moving the grind size on the dial. This is awesome because I know with the right grind my coffee is going to get the most flavor. I also love the grind canister, keeps my grounds nice and contained, whereas before I would make a mess grinding coffee fresh at home. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

My husband is the big coffee drinker in our house, and ALL our guests seem to drink coffee (we are constantly hosting family and friends on weekends) but we have always gone the lazy man's route and bought pre-ground coffee. But we wanted to step up our game a bit without too much of a learning curve (plus my husband on more than one occasion has accidentally bought whole coffee beans instead of pre-ground - and pre OXO grinder that didn't do us much good). This coffee maker was super intuitive and all the settings make it fool proof - insuring we always have the right amount and the right grind for our coffee maker. My husband was concerned we didn't need an extra gadget in our kitchen (doesn't take up much room at all next to our coffee maker tucked into the corner of our counter), but isn't complaining about how fresh his coffee is now that he can grind his own, and our coffee connoisseur guests aren't secretly going to get coffee elsewhere after they leave..haha!

This has improved my Wife and I's coffee routine tenfold! We bought one of these for my in-laws and after hearing how much they loved it, and how much better fresh ground coffee tastes, we were super excited to have one for ourselves. Super easy to setup and use! Adjust the fineness of the grind, put the beans in, set how long you want to grind, and go! Numerous options to get the perfect grind you want, every time. Makes it super easy if you brew your coffee using different methods as well as you can adjust the grind for this as well. This has been a much needed and much welcomed addition to our kitchen countertop, and is now a morning staple! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

My husband and I have been using this grinder for a few weeks now. Love the look of the grinder and the anti-static container. It’s also slightly quieter than our current conical burr grinder. However, we won’t be able to make the permanent switch to this OXO one because even on the finest grind setting, it’s not fine enough for our particular espresso machine. And it seems to be the most minuscule difference because when I look at the grounds, they look the same from both grinders but then when the coffee is actually made - the water runs through the OXO “fine” grounds like a sieve. We also have a pour-over cone and aero press and were able to grind beans for those brewing methods that worked perfectly! So, it appears to be a great grinder - just won’t be the best one for us.

I use a French Press to make coffee and I’ve always hated the sludge that’s left behind in the cup. I’d previously used a regular blade coffee grinder set on the coarsest setting. This burr grinder is worlds better than a blade grinder! The sludge is eliminated! The OXO burr grinder is pretty quiet for what it does. The canister the coffee is ground into has a good capacity if you want to grind beans in bulk for multiple pots, but it’s convenient to be able to fill the hopper with beans and have a fresh grind right before you brew. It takes a bit of experimentation to get the exact coarseness and volume of coffee you want, especially since the volume of beans is ground based on a length of time instead of cup measurement. Once it’s nailed down though, I couldn’t be happier with the results. The coffee is evenly ground and therefore makes a great brew. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
