If it’s the freshest coffee with the most flavor you crave, grinding whole beans before brewing is the only way to go. The Hamilton Beach Burr Coffee Grinder offers 18 grind settings – from extra-fine to coarse – with adjustable quantities from 2 to 14 cups of coffee. Rather than having to grind for longer to get a finer texture like coffee grinders with blade systems, burr grinders allow you to precisely adjust coffee texture to suit your brewing method for a perfect cup of coffee with maximum flavor every time. The burr grinder is easy to operate and features one-touch grinding with auto shutoff. The burr grinder has a large bean hopper that stores 2 cups of coffee beans, keeping them fresh until you're ready to grind. The grounds container on the electric coffee grinder includes a snap-on lid that lets you easily pour grounds into your brew basket without making a mess. With a few quick turns, the top grinding wheel removes for cleaning. A soft bristle brush for cleaning is included. The burr grinder has durable stainless steel housing and a compact design that doesn't take up much space. A cord wrap under the base ensures easy and neat storage.
