The Hamilton Beach® Custom Grind™ Coffee Grinder, 80396RC, removes the guesswork from grinding coffee. Turn the dial to choose one of 5 grind settings, set the lever anywhere from 4 to 14 cups, and press the button once. The 150-watt motor grinds while you get on with your morning, then shuts off automatically when it finishes.
Operation stays simple. Choose one of 5 grind settings, set the cup lever between 4 and 14 cups, and press the button once. The 150 watt motor grinds while you handle the rest of your routine, then shuts off on its own. Coarse settings suit percolator, French press, and cold brew. Medium settings suit drip coffee makers. The included cleaning brush stores in the back of the grinder, and the cord wrap under the base keeps your counter neat.
This is a blade grinder, which is the right tool for drip, French press, percolator, and cold brew. If you brew pour-over or pull espresso, those methods need the even particle size only a burr grinder produces. Step up to the flat burr coffee grinder with 18 settings for pour-over, or the conical burr grinder with 39 settings for espresso. You can also compare every model in the Hamilton Beach coffee grinders lineup, including the Custom Grind coffee grinder in black if you do not need the stainless-steel chamber.

Who It’s Made For

Care tip: rinse the stainless-steel chamber after grinding so coffee oils and spice flavors don't carry into the next batch. New to fresh grinding? These top coffee tips cover the basics.
