Getting the right grind for the right brew doesn’t have to be complicated. The Hamilton Beach® Stainless Steel Custom Grind™ Coffee Grinder, 80406, simplifies the process with a single patent-pending adjustable selection ring that controls both grind size and cups of brewed coffee at once. Whether you’re steeping a coarse grind for a French press weekend batch or dialing in a finer grind for a mid-week espresso, just turn the ring and press. One-touch hands-free operation starts the grinder automatically and shuts off when done. Prefer more control? Hold the top down to manually manage the grind duration.
Cleanup is equally easy. The removable stainless steel grinding bowl lifts out for direct pouring into your coffee maker, then goes straight into the dishwasher. Durable stainless-steel blades handle everything from coffee beans to peppercorns, fennel, flax, chia, and sesame seeds. Hidden cord storage underneath the base keeps the counter clutter-free and the grinder ready for tomorrow morning.
What It’s Made to Do
- Grind whole coffee beans to a precise size — coarse for French press and cold brew, medium for drip, or fine for espresso and moka pot — using the adjustable selection ring.
- Portion coffee for 4 to 14 cups in a single cycle, so you grind only what you need and reduce waste.
- Operate hands-free with a single press: the grinder starts, works automatically, and shuts off when done.
- Allow manual grind control by holding the top down and releasing when the desired grounds size is reached.
- Grind dry herbs, spices, and seeds — including peppercorns, cumin, fennel, flax, chia, and sesame — with the same durable stainless-steel blades.
- Minimize counter clutter with hidden cord storage underneath the base.
Who It’s Made For
- Home brewers who rotate between multiple brew methods and need grind-size flexibility.
- Coffee drinkers who value a hands-free morning routine and appreciate automatic shutoff so they can multitask while the grinder works.
- Home cooks who want one appliance that handles both coffee beans and a full pantry of dry spices, seeds, and herbs.
- People who dislike cleanup and need a dishwasher-safe bowl they can pour from directly and rinse without fuss.
- Countertop-conscious shoppers who want a stainless-steel grinder that looks sharp and stows its own cord.
