Coffee Grinders > 50 GBP and more Coffee Grinders

Advantages: top quality, 5 year guarantee, 18 grind settings
Disadvantages: loud

I bought this coffee grinder after my cheap blade mill finally gave up. It was expensive (£56) but I had £30 worth of tokens for a well known department store so bought it as I know the name is a good one. The major advantage is that it is a burr mill. This is where the coffee is not in constant contact with blades so the grind is more even so no more of the mix of dust and bigger lumps. The grind is done by grinding 'plates' and after it is ground ...
...this prevent over grinding but the coffee won't get as hot as it can in a blade mill. This gives a fuller taste from the coffee as less of the oils are destroyed. The burr grinder has 18 grind settings which can be changed by adjusted by turning the bean hopper base. I keep mine two to the left of medium. There is also a 'cup selector' this will change the amount of coffee the machine will grind. This removes the guess work of how much to put into ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and good looking
Disadvantages: None - I even like the noise

...accessory. We've already got a Dualit toaster and that has been fine, so he knew he was getting a quality product. This grinder not only looks good on the worktop, it does a great job too. Operating it is literally child's play - my 7 and 5 old take great pleasure in demonstrating it to all visitors (I'm hoping the novelty will wear off soon as the idea is to grind it fresh each time you want a cup). With the whirl of a wheel you can choose grade ...
...If you are familiar with Dualit you will be expecting a stylish design, and this machine won't disappoint. It looks good and it does an excellent job. What's more, even when you haven't ground the coffee your kitchen will smell of coffee just from the beans sitting in the hopper. ... Read review

Advantages: Burr not blade, cheap for the make
Disadvantages: Doesn't really need so many settings

...this review is on the Gaggia MM74518WH grinder. Having said that, try to use a stovetop percolator, you won’t regret it! Why Use a Grinder **************** It is of course possible to buy ready ground coffee and a couple of bags of your choice are certainly a cupboard essential, however ready ground coffee only really comes in about three main levels of grinding and the true caffeine addict will want a greater choice depending on the maker used ...
...like this grinder over my others because it is essentially simple to use and small enough not to be intrusive. Some grinders are ridiculously over complicated, it is just a mill after all. Gaggia is also an excellent make and mine shows no signs of illness after approachin 9 months. ... Read review

Advantages: Does the job consistantly, Easy to use!
Disadvantages: Breakable parts, Minimum of 4 cups at 1 time.

...and use it in my DeLonghi machine, but it looked like a very good grind indeed. I was impressed. I tried the coffee and yes, it tasted better than ground coffee. So, cheers to a nice cup of coffee! However, i was expecting it could fit more into it. If you're doing a party with coffee (Trust me, i would!) 84g isn't much at one time. But still, for someone at home, a teenager who wants a quick grind to have a lovely cup of coffee to get rid of the ...
...along with other mouldings from DeLonghi products. We have a lot of DeLonghi in our house you see! The mouldings break for them very easilly. But you can replace them at the website, for a price though. Also, cleaning the inside can be an issue. Sometimes i end up mixing beans, which doesxn't lead to a great result. It isn't waterproof, and it never ALL comes out. After the first time you use it, it's dirty for life. Anyway, to conclude, it's a ... Read review

Advantages: Quality results, robust, reliable
Disadvantages: Can clog with very large beans

This coffee mill has been in near daily use since 2004 when we found it in a homeware shop in Truro. At the time, the high price (as I thought at the time) concerned me, but a colleague and real coffee afficionado had been talking to me of the benefits of a burr mill for a number of weeks. He was right in every respect. A burr mill removes the variation in the grind size that you get in a blade based mill, and the coffee is subjected to a lower heat ...
...the chamber while the blades continue to chop. This apparently helps the beans keep more of the oils that give the coffee its flavour. All I can attest to is that the coffee made with this mill is better than any I made with a blade grinder. The hopper will take around 200g of beans, and unscrews to allow cleaning when you change bean type. There are 18 different grind settings that you click to when screwing the top back on so it is very easy to ... Read review
