10 Electric coffee grinders tested 2023

Whenever we talk about espresso & co., everything revolves around the aroma. After all, a cup of this black wonder is much more than just a quick & simple wake-up drink to sweeten the morning. For many people, the enjoyment of such a cup is rather an essential ritual, a moment of perfect peace before they have to set off again and face the stresses of work, for example. And if you have a classic, conventional espresso machine without a grinder in the house or serve "drip" or "pour over" through a filter, for example, you have to grind your beans before brewing: Here, a coffee grinder of impressive quality is the key to a perfect aroma. After all, you can adjust the grinder of a grinder to fully different demands and thus change the aroma that can be perceived in the end. Of course, you can also get a powder that is already ground at the factory from a retailer. But the aroma that such a powder can develop - many weeks after grinding - will in many cases only be of a weak quality. This is because from the moment beans break apart inside a grinder, they gradually lose aromas. However, this can be prevented by grinding the beans immediately before brewing: this way, almost all the aromas remain in the bean powder that will eventually be reflected in the cup - including all the exquisite nuances that make up the beans. This time, we took a look at 10 different grinders (20.85-136.67 €) and go on to describe how easy or difficult it is to use the models before and after the grinding process, how you can adjust the grinding parameters, especially the degree of the grinder, how consistently they grind beans "coarsely" and "finely" and at what speed they regularly complete the grinding process. In addition, we also collected all the essentials about sound emission, power consumption & co.
