SHARDOR Coffee Grinder Burr Electric, 25 Precise Grind Setting, Automatic Coffee Bean Grinder with Digital Timer Display for Espresso, Drip Coffee, and French Press, Black

Doesn’t take up much countertop.Very easy to use. Put some beans in the hopper (200g fits nicely). Set fineness and how long you want to grind for. The last grind time you used will be the one shown when you switch it back on.I did a test straight away and the grind was a bit coarser than expected. On the very finest setting it is “just about” espresso.There are other much more expensive grinders that do all sorts of things but I’m happy with this purchase. The main reason for happiness is that I’ve been getting the shop to grind my beans and that is great at first but they go off no matter how well you seal the coffee container.So I’m OK with what this grinder produced. The main thing is it tastes better than stale coffee. That doesn’t sound like a glowing review but price was great, quality seems decent, and it works well.Long-term there are two areas that could cause issue:- the coffee grinds receptacle is made of flimsy plastic. It works OK but I don’t think the plastic choice was the best.- quality of the grinding discs. After a few days (1 bag of coffee) it is clear that there has been some wear.Neither of these issues is of immediate concern.

Great little grinder, for the price I think it’s a great purchase, however you can do about 4 full grinds then it has a 99 second timer for cool down. But turn it off and on and it will start grinding away. Lots of different grind size too. Get one ☝️

This is a great entry level grinder – it's a machine to learn with or simply make the occasional brew. I use the grinds in a French press and moka pot (eg Bialetti).The grind setting dial actually does change the size of the grind. By default the machine is set to a 40 second grind timer, which is a decent speed, but this can be easily adjusted to a different time. Often, a few extra seconds regrinding is required to capture the last coffee bean popcorning about. It is relatively easy to clean, which is good because you will be cleaning this thing A LOT.This grinder is awful for coffee grind retention and negative static charging, meaning coffee grinds get stuck inside the machine, and around the container. I've found whole coffee beans stuck around the burrs inside. You will make a mess using and when cleaning this thing. The machine always finds more grinds to cough out. I have learnt misting the beans a little bit with water before grinding them helps with the static charging and prevents a mess.You will also find the grinds form clumps in the container. I use an espresso needle to break them up and get an even grind consistency. This greatly improves the flavour of the coffee and prevents uneven extraction.The machine looks decent and does not look out of place next to other countertop appliances. It's not too loud – at least my cats don't think so.If anything, this machine has allowed me to learn what to look for in a good grinder, before upgrading to something beefier and not as messy.

really nice grinder and looks very cute smaller than it looks but is perfect size and works very well and is very easy to use

Love this coffee grinder, several settings to get the perfect cup of coffee. It is easy to clean and I have not had any problems getting the coffee collector out once grinded, if you gently press the release catch and pull out slowly it is fine. Easy to clean with the brush that is included in the box. It is great if you want to just grind enough for a cup of coffee or is you want to grind a lot, which is what I do and store in an airtight tin, it doesn't do off as I am having a great cup of coffee every day. Well worth the money.

I have been using this coffee grinder for a few months now. I love it because it works really well and is small enough to sit on my counter top next to my coffee maker. I use it every day. You can adjust the grind time, which gives the amount you want and you can also adjust the size of the grind for different types of coffee makers. For such a compact and reasonably priced machine it really is good.

The grinder built into my bean to cup machine was becoming unreliable, so I looked for an altertnative. In addition to making bean to cup (B2C) coffee, we regularly use a cafetiere, and I had been using the B2C grinder to provide supplies of ground coffee for the cafetiere.What I like:Quiet to use.Good range of adjustment for both grind size and duration of a grind - i.e. quantity produced.Good customer service (via email)What is less good:Not suitable for batch grinding. After approximately 3 grinds of 30 seconds (the maximum duration), the Shardor shuts down for 90 seconds. This is presumably an mechanism to prevent overheating.The above isn't made clear in the description above nor in the user manual. It has been confimed as 'a feature' by customer services.The bulk of any grind at an expresso setting comes out at the particle size dialled in, but some of the grind - probably about 10% - is finer; almost a dust.If this machine cost top-end prices, I would be disappointed. Given the excellent value for money, and quiet running, I am happy with my purchase; but can only give it a 4-star review.

Great grind and options for time and grade.However, it is messy. Grounds seem to want to ‘stick’ to the chamber and there’s is always some spillage to tidy up wvery time you gat coffee out of it.
