The cost of a good burr coffee grinder—the kind you absolutely need in to make coffee actually taste good—throws a lot of my friends for a loop. They aren’t ready to spend $200, let alone $500 or $1,500, to optimize the flavor of their morning brew.
That’s when I turn to this trusty Oxo conical burr grinder. If you make French press, or Aeropress, or drip coffee, or espresso on a lower-cost machine with pressurized portafilter basket? This Oxo is always the lowest cost coffee grinder I can recommend with my whole heart. It offers reliable flavor, and much more precision than you’d expect. You’ll discover fruity notes, or delicate toffee, in your coffee that you didn’t previously know were there.
Right now for Prime Day, this Oxo is even more accessibly priced than usual: Just $82.
So maybe let this Oxo be the first “good” coffee grinder you buy—the one that shows you how much better coffee can taste when ground fresh, with a conical burr grinder. If you want to go wild on premium grinders later, I support you on your journey.
