Grinding · review
Sixty settings, dosing in 0.2-second steps, and the only published portafilter cradle sizes on the shelf: 50–54 mm (1.97 to 2.13 in) and 58 mm (2.28 in).
Where we land on it The only grinder here that can dose straight into a portafilter and tell you which baskets it fits — and the only one that publishes a wattage. If you own an espresso machine, the shelf stops being a comparison and becomes a single answer.
Six figures. The next most forthcoming grinder on this shelf publishes four.
Five of the seven grinders here will fill a container. This one will fill a portafilter, and it is the only one that says which portafilters: Portafilter Cradle – Small 50 - 54mm (1.97 to 2.13 in), Portafilter Cradle – Large 58mm (2.28 in).
If you own an espresso machine, that single line removes a step from every shot you ever pull with it, and it removes the guesswork from buying. If you brew filter, it buys you nothing at all, and the shelf opens back up.
Precision digital time allows you to adjust and program grind time in 0.2 second increments.
Two grinders here dose by time with a published step: this one at 0.2 seconds, the AMZCHEF at 0.5 seconds up to 40 seconds. Two dose by cups — SHARDOR 2 to 14, Amazon Basics 4 to 12. The OXO pair use a dial of grinding time with no increment stated. The Baratza has neither: an on/off switch and a pulse button.
That is a real ladder, and it is published end to end.
No burr diameter. The OXO above it, the Baratza below it and the AMZCHEF all say 40 mm (1.57 in); this one says Conical Burr and leaves it there. On the most expensive grinder on the shelf, that is the one number a buyer comparing on paper would expect to find.

It ships with two portafilter cradles, 50–54 mm (1.97 to 2.13 in) and 58 mm (2.28 in). Those two sizes cover most domestic machines, and they are the only cradle dimensions published by any grinder on this shelf — everywhere else you would be measuring and hoping.
It sets how finely you can tune the amount that lands in the basket. The only other grinder here with a published time step is the AMZCHEF, at 0.5 seconds up to 40 seconds. The remaining five dose by cups, or by a dial with no stated increment.
The listings do not say, and nothing in them makes the two numbers comparable: neither maker publishes the step size between settings. What is published and does separate them is that this one has a timer and the Baratza has an on/off switch and a pulse button.
The listing names the contents: both portafilter cradles, a grinds container with a lid sealing cap, the conical burr and a cleaning brush.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

An espresso machine owner who wants to grind into the portafilter and knows their basket size
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 1,000.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for coffee equipment and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
40 mm (1.57 in) conical · 40 espresso steps + 20 filter
The cheapest electric grinder that genuinely does espresso and filter without being bad at both. Forty fine steps in the espresso range is the whole point — and Baratza will still sell you a burr set for it in ten years.
Best for: Anyone pairing a grinder with a Gaggia Classic, a Dedica upgrade, or a Barista Express they have outgrown.
39 mm (1.54 in) nitrogen-hardened burr · hand · filter & espresso
The hand grinder others are measured against, and priced accordingly. Grinds better than electric grinders at twice the money, and asks for your arm every single morning.
Best for: One or two exceptional cups a day, travel, and anyone who values the object.
55 mm (2.17 in) flat burr · stepless · near-zero retention
Stepless adjustment, 55 mm (2.17 in) flat burrs and almost nothing left in the chute — the three things that separate a serious espresso grinder from a good one. It is quiet enough to use at six in the morning without an argument.
Best for: A Gaggia Classic, Lelit or Rancilio owner who has stopped blaming their technique.
