Electric Grinders

When the dose is the whole morning

An electric grinder removes the one part of the routine that people quit on. The two here split by mechanism rather than by price: one is a conical burr grinder with a stepped dial and a hopper, built to sit next to a brew method and be used twice a day; the other runs a flat burr set with a screen and a program, which is what you want when the grind has to be identical every morning without thinking about it. Both are for filter and both will do espresso at the fine end. Check hopper capacity against how much coffee you actually get through in a week.

• Conical versus flat burr, and what that does to the cup
• Stepped dial or programmable dose
• Hopper capacity against your weekly consumption
