If maximum flavor is the goal, grinding whole beans right before brewing is the only way to get there. The Hamilton Beach® Burr Coffee Grinder, Stainless, 80385, gives you 18 grind settings — from extra-fine to coarse — so you can dial in the exact grounds size for your brew method. Unlike blade grinders that rely on grinding time alone, the burr system crushes beans between two flat burrs for more consistent particle size and better flavor extraction every cup. Batch size is equally flexible: a 2–14 cup selector lets you grind only what you need, and one-touch operation with automatic shutoff keeps the process hands-free and precise.
The large bean hopper holds up to 2 cups of whole beans, keeping them fresh until you’re ready to grind. A snap-on lid on the coffee grounds container lets you pour directly into your brew basket without mess. The top grinding burr removes with a few quick turns for cleaning, and a soft bristle brush is included to sweep leftover grounds. Durable stainless-steel housing keeps the grinder looking sharp on the counter, and cord wrap storage under the base keeps things tidy when it’s not in use.
What It’s Made to Do
- Grind whole coffee beans fresh before brewing — preserving aroma and peak flavor that pre-ground coffee can’t match.
- Match your grind size to any brew method — choose from 18 settings from extra-fine espresso to coarse French press with a simple twist of the dial.

- Clean up quickly after each use — the top grinding wheel removes in a few turns, and a soft bristle brush is included; containers and lids are dishwasher-safe.
- Store neatly on the countertop — compact stainless-steel housing and cord wrap storage under the base keep your space organized.
