If fresher, better-tasting coffee is the goal, the grind is where it starts. The Hamilton Beach® Flat Burr Coffee Grinder, 80385, crushes whole beans between two flat burrs to a uniform particle size. That even grind is what grind-sensitive brewing rewards: full body, even extraction, and no bitter edge from powder-fine dust. It's a consistency blade grinders can't match, at a price most burr grinders can't match either.
Twist the dial through 18 grind settings. Fine settings suit moka pot and espresso-style brewing, medium settings suit drip and pour-over, and coarse settings suit French press and cold brew. Set the batch from 2 to 14 cups and press once. The grinder shuts off on its own. The lidded hopper holds up to 2 cups of beans, the grounds container pours through a snap-on lid without spills, and the top burr lifts out in a few turns for easy cleaning with the included brush.
This is the middle tier of the Hamilton Beach grinder lineup. If you want more settings, a built-in scale, and a dedicated espresso workflow, step up to the Hamilton Beach Pro Conical Burr Grinder with 39 settings. You can also compare every model in the Hamilton Beach coffee grinders lineup.
