Make sure your grinder is empty of all coffee beans before you begin cleaning it. It's also an excellent idea to run a vacuum or wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use to clean any residue from the inside. Be cautious not to contact the burrs. They are sharp and should you slip, you could cut your fingers.
Powerful
A good mini electric grinder can grind beans with enough fineness for espresso, and coarsely enough to make pour-overs and drips. It is also compact so you can still fit other kitchen appliances within your cabinets. The most effective models can maintain the same grind. They operate more quietly than blade grinders, and they produce less heat. This is because they do not cut up the beans while they spin like a blade grinder would. The main disadvantage of blade-style grinders is that it could result in large variations in the size of the coffee ground that can lead to a cup that is inconsistent.
A burr grinder, however, produces uniformly sized ground. It operates by spinning a set of flat, rotating burrs to crush and break up the bean. This can be done at a lower speed than a blade crusher, and the result is more consistent, even ground that won't get stuck in your French press.
Many of the best mini electric coffee grinders make use of a stainless steel set of burrs. They are more durable and last longer than ceramic sets. They give a more consistent grind than blades, which means you can be sure to have consistent results from each batch of coffee.
The noise level of burr grinders can be a problem for some people However, it all depends on how fast you grind and the power of the motor. Most of the time, the noise won't be enough to wake your family, but it could bother some people.
If you prefer a quieter grinder, consider the Breville Smart Grinder Pro. This grinder is powered by a motor that is powerful and operates at a low speed. It has a digital display that shows your settings to ensure you are grinding for the correct brewing method.
The grinder is a bit more expensive than other models but it's well worth the extra money for its performance. The stainless steel burrs are durable and will not overheat. This model has a glass container that can hold 30 grams of ground coffee. It's also designed with a sleek, modern design.
Compact
There are many options for small electric grinders if love coffee but have limited space. Some aren't capable of delivering a consistent grinder at a reasonable price. That's where the Baratza Encore ESP comes in. This model is among the most well-known and affordable grinders available. It also has a number of the features we've come expect from high-end grinders.
It is light, compact and simple to use. The hopper that is removable can hold up to 24 grams of beans, which is roughly two cups worth. And it's designed to make cleaning a breeze--the stainless steel chamber pops out and can be placed in the dishwasher.
The Encore ESP also has 40 different grind settings including 20 that are suitable for espresso. We discovered that setting 8-12, which you can easily set by twisting the top of the hopper, gave us grounds that were close to espresso size. It's ideal for pour-overs and other methods requiring a coarser ground. And its convenient dosing cup transfers ground coffee directly into either a standard 54mm portafilter or a professional 58mm portafilter.
The Encore ESP is a versatile appliance that can be utilized for a variety of tasks, like grinding nuts and spices. It's ideal for traveling. Its quiet operation won't bother anyone around.
The Baratza Encore ESP does have some drawbacks, though. For starters, it's not the fastest grinder. It takes about 20 seconds to grind about 1 cup of beans which can be frustrating if you're in a rush. It doesn't come with a timer nor a digital display, which makes it difficult to know exactly how much you are grinding.
The biggest flaw is stainless steel burrs. They tend to break more quickly than ceramic burrs. Fortunately, this won't be a problem for most people since they won't be grinding dozens of cups of coffee each day. If you're planning to use your grinder commercially it's worth thinking about ceramic burrs that are less likely to break and will last longer.
Versatile

It was a grinder that promised no retention, a fast grinding speed and excellent consistency all at a price that was affordable to the average coffee enthusiast.
