Best Coffee Grinders for Pour Over Coffee 2024 – 7 Top Picks & Reviews

Whether brewing pour over, Moka pot, French press, or preparing for a tasty batch of cold brew, the OXO Brew Conical Burr coffee grinder will be your perfect morning companion.

With its 43-setting grind selector dial (15 main settings with 2 micro settings between each), it’s precise enough to dial in the perfect grind size so you can achieve a perfect cup of coffee.

“No Spill” hopper design
It also features a tinted coffee bean hopper that holds a generous 12 ounces of your favorite coffee beans while also protecting them from UV rays that might shine into your kitchen on those glorious mornings. You can also remove the hopper with the beans still in it thanks to its “mess-free” trap door design. This makes cleaning and swapping out beans much easier.

The auto-stop feature and timer are reliable, convenient features to have and definitely make this a great option for those looking to up their specialty coffee game.

The OXO brew conical burr grinder will also keep your set time, making your brewing very consistent after dialing it in (that is, if you make your coffee by the same method every time).

Easily remove the burrs for cleaning
I’ve found it helpful to keep a little cheat sheet where I can jot down the brewing method, coarseness of grind, and timer setting — giving me the perfect dose at the perfect grind, every time.

A couple users have stated that this coffee grinder makes a buzzing or humming sound that’s quite audible when plugged in. Personally, I own this grinder and have not experienced this.

So far, I’ve been thrilled with this grinder and with its 2-year warranty, I feel at ease knowing they’ve built this one to last.

The Baratza Encore Conical Burr Grinder is an entry level coffee grinder that provides beautifully consistent and uniform results, and will tackle anything from basic espresso, to Moka pot, to cold brew.

It’s an excellent grinder at a decent price from a great manufacturer. What we think is really outstanding about this company is their excellent customer support and their “Don’t Dump it, Fix it!” policy.

They stand behind their customers’ long-term investments and encourage them to fix their coffee grinders (when they naturally fail from wear and tear), rather than throwing them in a landfill. How green is that?

The hopper on the Encore holds up to 8 ounces of beans and the grounds bin is clear, making it easy to see your ground amount.

It has a small footprint, so it won’t take up much space on your countertop.

40 different grind settings from coarse to fine allow you to dial in the perfect pour over cup, as well as finicky brews like espresso.

The Baratza Virtuoso+ Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is a stylish, precision coffee grinder for those that are serious about their home brew.

It has an adjustable digital timer (up to 40 seconds) for accurate ground coffee dosing. This means, once you dial it in, you won’t have to tweak it much for consistent results.

And just in case you’re not working in the best lit kitchen, it features an LED back-lit grounds bin for easy visibility.

Aside from mastering your pour over, the fine tuning on this burr grinder (40 grind settings) allows you to explore grinds for many other brew methods such as Aeropress, Hario V60, Chemex, and French Press.

While it will produce grounds fine enough for espresso, the Baratza Sette 270 grinder is a much better option if you need a grinder specifically tailored to espresso only.

On the flip-side, some have said that the timer is a little wonky because when turned clockwise, it goes up by one-second intervals, and when turned counter-clockwise, it only goes down by tenth of a second intervals.

Others have said that it’s a little slow to grind, but it does an absolutely fantastic job of producing a uniform grind perfect for manual brewing methods.

The Capresso Infinity is a very versatile burr coffee grinder that home coffee enthusiasts love (mostly, keep reading).

Its versatility lending itself to being able to handle coarse grinds like cold brew and French press to fine grinds like Turkish and espresso.

It has a gear reduction motor that slows down the grinding of your coffee beans; preserving maximum aroma and flavor by reducing friction, and thus, heat buildup on the conical burrs. It also is very quiet compared to other coffee grinders.

It has a removable upper conical burr for easy cleaning and a large, see-through coffee bean hopper that allows users to monitor the amount of coffee beans remaining without taking the cover off (keeping your beans fresh). The cup selector feature allows you to choose the amount of coffee grounds needed from one to twelve cups at a time.

You can also choose to pulse grind your beans — for achieving just the right dose (amount of grounds).

A word of caution, though; many users have reported retention of coffee grounds in the burrs, and as a result, have gotten into the habit of brushing off the burrs every time they use their grinder.

They’ve also stated that this particular burr grinder seems to be a little more electrically charged with static when grinding, but have found a trusty hack (that happens to work with ALL coffee grinders) here, to eliminate static almost entirely.

One last warning, don’t take the coffee bean hopper off with beans in it unless you like 252 pickup.

Even with these minor inconveniences, they still stand by this burr grinder wholeheartedly.

And while it can achieve grinds fine enough for Turkish and espresso brewing, it won’t be the best coffee grinder explicitly for these brewing methods. If that’s what you’re after, consider a burr coffee grinder specifically tailored to fine grinds only, a.k.a., an espresso grinder.

All around, a great grinder for the money, and aesthetically pleasing with your choice of a black (heavy duty zinc die-cast housing) or stainless steel finish, the Capresso Infinity will accommodate almost any kitchen décor.
