A good, quiet, portable, conical burr grinder for coffee?

Posted on by

I need to get a coffee grinder that I can take to work. It needs to be quiet so I don’t disturb anyone and it needs to be portable because I wont be leaving it there. I’ll just be using it for 3 or for mugs of coffee at a time. I’ll use a french press for brewing. I’ve heard conical burr grinders are the way to go. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks.
In that case what is a good conical burr grinder for home that is really easy to clean?

Grind your coffee at home and take it to work, coffee grinders are not quiet.

What coffee bean grinder setting makes the best coffee?

Coarse or medium?

The reason grinders don’t come with a "best" setting is that there’s no such thing, If we both have the same grinder set to the same level & brew with the same machine, you may like the result & I may not.

Beyond that; like the other person said, different methods require different grinds. I have seven different ways to brew coffee & I have 5 settings marked on my grinder plus I have a coffee mill for Turkish coffee since my other grinder won’t go fine enough for that.

You have to discover the exact setting that works for you.

Opinions on coffee grinders?

I’m trying to do some research online to find a good, small, reasonably-priced coffee grinder for my kitchen, preferably from a store like Walmart or London Drugs. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’ve kind of wanted a coffee grinder for awhile now but real grinders were too expensive. I got an inexpensive "grinder" for Christmas. The word grinder is in quotes because most inexpensive grinders aren’t really grinders. They’re basically the same as blenders. If you look in them you see a set of blades that are just like the blades in a blender. You have no control over how fine the coffee is ground other than how long you have the blade spinning. But I was out replacing an electric can opener yesterday and saw a burr grinder that was under $40 US. You set the grind you want, put the beans in the top and it comes out the bottom into a small bin. I don’t know about the quality of the device or how long it will last but at least it’s a real grinder. Check the links below for sources and cost for you. Once you’ve found one or two you think you like you can see if they’re available near you or if you need to have them shipped from an on-line store.
