OXO BREW Electric Coffee Grinder with Timer

エスプレッソ用に購入。以前は3〜4千ほどの電動のやつ使いましたが、入る容量も少なく、時間もかかってました。これは秒単位の設定でとても早いし、均等に綺麗にひけます。豆も入れっぱなしで良いので楽です。

これはいい！大量の豆を一気にひくので、ちまちませずに助かります。スピードも早いし、粒の状態も選べて、取り扱いも簡単。難を言えば、予想以上に機械が大きいので収納には困りますが、しょっちゅう使う人なら出しっぱなしになるでしょう。でも目の前にあればコーヒー豆をひくのも面倒くさくならないので、美味しいエスプレッソを毎日いただけます。いい買い物でした。

水出しコーヒーを作る際に、80gほど豆を挽く予定だったのでこちらを購入。 タイマーを使って擬似的に量を固定できるため、ホット用（8g）と瞬時に切り替えられるのが最高に便利です。 音はうるさいですが、電動で、挽き具合が調整できて、量が擬似的に設定できて、静電気対策もされていてこのお値段。 毎日コーヒーを飲むけどズボラな僕にはぴったりでした。 静電気対策があまり感じられないので☆1つ減らしてます。（めんどくさくてアースつけてない）

デザインも良いし、豆もたくさん入り、挽きたい料だけ挽くことができるので、 とても重宝しています。粉のつもりで豆を買ってしまい、以前のミルはカッターの回る だけの方式だったので、豆が均一に挽けないのでこの臼式を選びました。 以前のコーヒーの粉より、やはり豆から挽いた方が香りがあり、美味しいです。

使用して1年以上経つがめちゃくちゃ重宝する。 コーヒーミルのベストバイの筆頭かな。 とても使いやすくて、ほぼ毎日使用している。

予算2万円以内で安定して使える電動ミルを探しました。 ネット記事などではこれよりも評価の高い機種もありましたが、どう探しても偽物にしかたどり着けないような物もあり、そこそこの評価と確実な品物が手に入るということでこちらを選びました。 ペーパーの際は中挽き、アイスコーヒーの場合はやや細かめに挽いていますが、あまりバラツキもなく均一です。 ホッパーには豆が250ｇ入れてもまだ少々余裕あります。 洗えない部分のお手入れは、本体はカメラ用のブロワーとブラシ、ミルはブラシを使っています。 マイナス点というか特徴 構造上、ミルの中に粉が残ります。 ブロワーで集めた粉は中挽きで約4g。 毎回お手入れをして、一回ごとに豆を量って挽くという使用法の場合、この分を考慮する必要があります。 同じ豆で頻繁に使う場合は、豆を変えるタイミングでお手入れすればいいんじゃないでしょうか。 最初は毎回量ったりしていましたが、200ｇから250ｇを1週間以内で使い切ってしまうので、ホッパーに入れた豆がなくなったタイミングで掃除しています。

This product is a real disappointment. It is described in many reviews elsewhere as "one of the best overall grinders", but it does not work with espresso beans. Perhaps because these beans are oilier than regular ones, the grounded coffee blocks the chute, so nothing comes out of the machine. It is useless to grind espresso beans. Perhaps it works better with other types, but you will have to try.

説明者とおりにドリップ用にグラインドしましたが、エスプレッソ並に細かくグラインドされてしまい、使えません。 最大の粗さにしてもムラが出るだけで、全体として荒くなるわけではありません。 デ〇ンギのと比較するとカッターよりのグラインド方法ですので、スピードと引替えに劣る部分はあることを承知して買うことをおすすめします。 また本商品は基本返品はできません。

(I am an ex professional barista.) CONS: -The grounds container doesn't lock into place and will sometimes vibrate out during grinding. This is the only serious flaw with the product, and I feel it's a minor one. I've gone through many of the reviews and it seems that it's simply a matter of construction inconsistency. Most people's containers "click" into place; a minority do not. I was just unlucky enough to get one of the ones that don't. -You can't remove the bottom burr to clean it. They really did do their best to make this easy to clean and I appreciate that you don't have to undo a bunch of microscopic screws just to clean your burrs, but I really wish I could remove BOTH burrs to give them a thorough wipe-down. It's difficult to clean the one that's stuck inside the grinder. The other lifts out easily by a cute little handle. PROS: -High quality, consistent grind. The brewing methods I use most all hover around the medium grind range, so I haven't really tested the extremes of coarse and fine. Can't speak to those. But as far as the medium ranges, it grinds beautifully and consistently. That's what matters in the end, right? -The beans feed very well, even for single dosing. Never an issue. -As mentioned above, the ability to clean the grinder is taken into account in the construction. No need to delicately deconstruct the whole thing and keep track of a bunch of itty bitty screws and springs. The top part of the grinder and the top burr simply turn-and-lift out, and then turn-and-lock back into place. So nice. -It's aesthetically pleasing and takes up little room on the counter. All the materials have a quality feel. -It isn't super noisy. All grinders are gonna make noise, to be sure, but as far as grinders go, this one has a pretty gentle sound. I've definitely used my fair share of grinders that made me feel like my brain was going to vibrate out of my skull, and this one has a polite hum by comparison. -The price for this level of quality is unbeatable. I can't even believe I paid less than one hundred dollars for this. Real talk, folks: these are steel conical burrs. Solid construction. 40+ grind settings. Did I mention steel conical burrs? I never thought I would own something like this for less than $250. You cannot beat this price point/quality intersection. You just can't. This grinder is price-meets-quality king. USAGE: You're working with three variables: time, grind, and amount. There are two popular approaches to working out your dose. Method 1: You leave 'amount' as the open variable. With this method, you dump all your beans in the hopper and store them there. You then adjust grind and time until you're getting the right dose at the right grind level. Method 2: You leave 'time' as the open variable. With this method, you only deposit the amount of beans you plan to use for each dose, adjust the grind as needed, and let it take whatever amount of time it takes. You're adjusting the amount and the grind, rather than adjusting the grind and the time. (This is called "single dosing.") Go to any coffee forum, and you'll be pages of debate about which of these methods is superior. Honestly, you should use the method that feels best for YOU. The reason I bring it up here is because people seem anxious that Method #2 will damage the burrs over time, since you run them all the way to empty every time you grind. Here's my take: I use Method #2, because I feel that the beans start to taste stale if left in the hopper. (Everyone's tastebuds are different; there's no right or wrong.) This means that I let the burrs run until I hear the sound change from a low growl to a high pitched growl, which indicates that the burrs are grinding empty, and then I manually stop the grind. I honestly don't see any issue with this, and I don't feel any anxiety about it. Think about it: if you're cleaning the burrs between bean swaps, you're letting them run for several seconds on empty anyway. Even the manufacturer instructions tell you to do this when cleaning the burrs! The only difference here is that instead of intentionally running them on empty for several seconds to clean them, you're running them on empty for one single second every day/dose. I'd never recommend doing that on a fine espresso setting, but as long as you're in the medium-to-coarse range, I don't see any possible ways the burrs could damage each other. There's no way the burrs are touching at that distance, regardless of variables like heat expanding the metal and other things coffee nerds like to debate about. I hope this review was helpful. I'll update in a year to let you know if this grinder held up through daily use.

The reason for 1 star is because we havent been able to use the machine. It looks really good and well made, and just what we wanted, but the plug that it comes with is totally unusable. Instructions state not to use any adapters or try to do anything with the plug, but to employ an electrician to install a new point that would accommodate it. We are not prepared to go that extra expense , making the whole exercise unaffordable and very annoying and so disappointing.

No AC power adapter supplied as claimed to enable its use in Europe. Ad states it comes with an adapter but no adapter was included. I am complaining to Amazon today as it is an Amazon.de (Europe) fulfilled item and am waiting on Amazon's response. i.e. will Amazon send the missing adapter out or just lamely just say to return it. I am after a good coffee grinder and this potentially was a good one... Amazon?

Have had this unit for over three years now and use it daily at least once (sometimes two or three times a day). By my rough calculation, we've ground well over 150 pounds of coffee during that time and this unit is still very much going strong! This grinder always provides coffee grinds that are consistent in size, with very few outliers that are a tad finer. From fine to coarse & light to dark (and everything in between), it works well with all types of roast and all types of beans. The anti static properties they claim are effective, with a light tap to the side of it, the grounds come out of the stainless receptacle cleanly. It's also easy to disassemble it to clean the burrs and hopper out. Simpler yet to adjust the grind (sometimes it's a tad at TOO easy - keep an eye on the dial to make sure that you haven't moved it by accident). I don't find the timer a useful feature personally - however I'm a stickler for accuracy, so I weigh every batch before and after it gets ground. A timer is FAR too general of a measurement for my liking. Different strokes for different folks I guess. All in all, my wife and I really like this grinder! If it were to break down tomorrow - we wouldn't hesitate to replace it with the exact same model. In a sleepy early morning daze a few weeks ago - my wife poured boiling water through the grinder by accident! She unplugged it immediately, and I proceeded to disassemble it and blow it out with compressed air. After leaving it apart for a day or two over the furnace vent for it to dry out completely, it went back together just fine and it seems none the worse for wear. I noticed when I had it apart that it was pretty well designed and built in my opinion. I am a technician by trade, so I notice that kind of stuff. The components seem to be of high quality as well. Highly recommended!

It has been said that if you want to up your coffee game it is best to invest in a decent grinder first. The reason being that if you have an fancy coffee maker, great beans, and a terrible grinder you won't be unlocking the value of those great beans. Your basic blade grinder won't give you anything consistent even if you are good about grinding the same amount of beans for the same amount of time. Anyway, on to the OXO Burr Grinder. I started my coffee making journey with a blade grinder and then "upgraded" to a cheap flat burr grinder. I didn't really realize how poorly they were grinding until I started making espresso at home. To make good espresso your ground coffee needs to be two things: 1) finely ground, and 2) have a consistent grind (as opposed to having some pieces noticeably larger than others). The flat burr grinder broke (about two years after I bought it) and I shopped around for a real grinder upgrade before settling on the OXO. I am writing this review after a year of ownership and am very pleased with the purchase. Since the purchase I've used the OXO grinder at least once a day pretty much every day for the last year. My thoughts after a year of ownership: +Built in timer. If you are coming from a blade grinder where you have to hold down a button to keep grinding the first time you walk away to do something else while the machine does it's thing is a wonderful experience. +Good consistent grind with a range of grind sizes. I'm sure a more expensive grinder would offer an even better grind but the OXO does a more than satisfactory job for me. Adjusted to the finer end should be more that adequate for your espresso maker while the coarse end will satisfy your french press needs. +Steel grinding burrs. I think this is a big part of why the OXO grinds as well as it does. It is my hope that the steel burrs used here will hold up over the long term without any need for replacement. +-Good strong motor. This grinder will power through 64g of coffee beans in less than thirty seconds on a medium setting. The trade off is that the motor is also loud. I was initially hoping for something a little quieter when I made the purchase but it isn't any louder than my previous grinders and with it powering through coffee beans it usually doesn't need to be operated long. -The bottom burr can't be removed for cleaning. If you aren't cleaning your coffee grinder you probably aren't the kind of person who cares about coffee enough to invest or investigate upgrades to your equipment. The OXO cleans up well with the hopper being very easy to remove and the top grinding blade coming out easily for cleaning. The bottom conical burr, however, can't be removed which limits how much or how well the grinder can be cleaned. I find blowing it out with compressed air gets the job well enough but I do wish both burrs could be taken out for periodic washing. -Retains some grounds. From what I have read most burr grinders will retain some grounds which means every grind will start with some stale grounds from the last time you made coffee. I wouldn't say the machine retains a lot of grounds but I really notice how much it holds on to when I am cleaning it. -The stainless steel cup that the grinds are deposited in comes unseated easily. The cup in question makes a satisfying click when you put it in properly but I've found that it pops out easily. This doesn't prevent ground coffee from going from where it is supposed to but I have taken the cup out to find that a little bit of ground coffee had fallen behind the cup. I'm not sure exactly what keeps the cup in place but I suspect that it is that part of the grinder that will likely fail first. -Hopper is not air tight. This isn't a problem for myself as I weigh out exactly how much coffee I need and then grind all the beans. But if you are the kind of person who keeps their beans in the hopper you might notice that they will go stale if you don't go through your beans very quickly. OXO also offers almost the exact same grinder with a set of integrated scales but I steered clear of that version because I wanted less optional parts to malfunction. I also already have a digital scale that I can use to weigh out my beans and anything else I might want to weigh. But if you are the kind of person who would prefer to keep their beans in the hopper then that model is likely where you want to go and might be worth the extra ~$40. TL;DR: For the asking price you are getting a great grinder that should serve your needs regardless of what kind of method you use for preparing your brew. Yes, you can get better grinders but they will likely run you a lot more money without a corresponding jump in grind quality. Highly recommended.
