Grinding · review
Fifteen settings plus forty-three micro-adjustments on 40 mm (1.57 in) stainless conical burrs, with a 12-ounce UV-blocking hopper.
Where we land on it Fifty-eight grind positions described as fifteen, which is the shelf's best argument for reading the sentence instead of the number. A large hopper, a UV tint and a one-touch memory, with no wattage and no warranty published.
15 grind settings (plus 43 micro-adjustments).
Read as printed, this is the second-coarsest collar on the shelf. Read as written, it is fifty-eight positions — two short of the Breville’s sixty, and eighteen more than the Baratza’s forty.
Nobody on this shelf publishes the distance between two neighboring positions, so none of these counts can be turned into a grind size. What they can be turned into is a fair ranking, and the fair ranking is not the one the front panels suggest.
Twelve ounces is the second-largest published capacity here; only the Breville’s eighteen is bigger. Three grinders hold less than half as much, and two do not say.
That matters less for how the coffee tastes than for how often you open a bag — and with a UV-blocking tint stated, the listing is making an argument for leaving beans in it.
No wattage, no warranty, and no stated increment for the grinding-time dial. The one-touch memory means the setting survives between uses; it does not mean the dose is repeatable to a published figure.

As printed, yes. As described, no: the listing says *15 grind settings (plus 43 micro-adjustments)*, which is 58 positions. Neither maker publishes the step size, so the honest reading is that both collars are fine, and neither number tells you how fine.
The maker states it shields beans in sunny kitchens. It is published by two grinders on this shelf — this one and the AMZCHEF — and not mentioned by the other five.
The listing says the range runs *from fine for espresso to coarse for French press and cold brew*. What it does not offer, and the Breville does, is a portafilter cradle: you would grind into the container and transfer.
By the published figures: 12 oz of beans against 50 g (1.8 oz), 43 micro-adjustments against 29, and 2,041 g (72 oz) against 1,844 g (65 oz) as listed. The compact also states removable upper and lower burrs for cleaning, which this listing does not.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

A filter or French press brewer who wants a fine collar and a hopper that holds a bag at a time

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.
