Our editorial team chose the products on this list from actual customer reviews on a range of websites including Amazon Australia and productreview.com.au. For each category, we carefully selected parameters based on our research and identified the coffee grinders with the highest review score within those parameters.
For the best overall coffee grinder, we selected the Breville The Smart Grinder Pro as it has a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from 1,800 online reviews. It is also Amazon's best-selling coffee grinder.
This sleek and compact machine not only looks good, but also performs remarkably well, giving you incredible control over your grind. Its stainless steel conical burrs offer high quality and consistency, while an easy-to-read LCD screen features no less than 60 different grind options to choose from.
You can grind straight into a filter, portafilter or storage container and you can also program the shot or cup volumes. And the machine has the advantage of a large 450g bean hopper with airtight lid, yet is still small enough to fit neatly on your benchtop.
For this category, our team selected the Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton Hand Grinder as it has been widely reviewed on Amazon Australia with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating from over 4,950 reviews.
This Japanese-made manual grinder features ceramic conical burrs that grind with precision and consistency. You can also adjust the grind size so you get your coffee exactly how you like it. Its ergonomic handle is easy to manage and detaches for storage and travel. Plus, it provides a non-slip rubber base to keep the mill secure during grinding.
If you like a manual grinder then this is a well-designed and affordable option. And since it's lightweight and easy to stow in your luggage, you need never be caught short without your freshly ground coffee.
For the best budget coffee grinder we chose the Sunbeam GrindFresh Conical Burr Coffee Grinder as it has an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars from nearly 160 online reviews across many websites including Amazon and Harvey Norman.
As coffee grinders start at around $70 and go up to approximately $1,000, this product is right at the budget end. However, it still offers excellent performance with durable metal conical burrs to provide a consistently good grind. Plus it has 25 grind settings so you can have the texture you prefer whether that be coarse grounds for French press or finely ground for espresso.
It is easy to use and has a 250g bean hopper plus a preparation mat to collect any loose coffee grounds. Best of all, it delivers beautifully ground beans to suit your ideal brew at an incredibly affordable price.
For this category, we selected the Mazzer Mini Home Coffee Grinder. Mazzer has been producing quality commercial-grade coffee grinders since the 1950s and has long been known for its top-quality products. This grinder has been well-reviewed across a number of websites and recommended as a professional-grade grinder that also works well in the home.
Ideal for the serious at-home barista, the Mazzer Mini is robust and hard working with flat 64mm blades. Generally the Mazzer range is large in size; however, if you have the space then the Mini is a good option. It has a massive 600g bean hopper and is a stepless grinder, which means endless choices of grind size.
If you're enthusiastic about your home grinding technique, this grinder should definitely be a consideration. It performs amazingly well and comes with a strong reputation. And while it fits on your benchtop, it will also give your kitchen the look and feel of a professional cafe – and grind you beans like one too.
For this category, we selected the Bodum Electric Coffee Grinder as it has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars across a number of websites such as Kogan and Amazon.
This grinder is an excellent option for an electric coffee grinder as it does the job at an affordable price. With its stainless steel conical burrs, it grinds consistently while maintaining the flavour of the beans. It's easy to use with a preset timer that allows you to grind the exact amount of coffee needed. It also features a dial to select from 12 different grind sizes, which has you covered from espresso through to French press.
Compact in size, the Bodum grinder fits neatly on the benchtop yet still offers a generous 220g bean hopper. A stand-out feature is that the grounds catcher is made from borosilicate glass, which reduces the static cling of coffee grounds.
Overall, it's a dependable, easy-to-store grinder that offers versatility, ease and great value for money.
Our team selected Breville's The Coffee & Spice Grinder for the best in the small coffee grinder category as it has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews from over 300 online reviews.
This compact coffee grinder is ideal for those with little space. It has durable rust-resistant blades that give a consistent grind – and not just for coffee beans. It can also be used for spices, seeds and anything else you need to grind. For this reason, it has a removable stainless steel bowl that allows easy cleaning and minimises any flavour transfer.
The highlight of this product is its convenient size, which means after grinding you can pop it away, leaving your bench space clear of clutter. Many online customers have found it to be reliable, good value for money and also a lot quieter to use than other grinders.
For the best burr coffee grinder, we chose the De'Longhi Electric Coffee Grinder, which has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon Australia from 320 online reviews.
This is an excellent grinder option that not only grinds beautifully thanks to its conical burrs, but it also looks stunning sitting on your benchtop. It has 18 adjustable grind settings, which gives you a greater chance of finding the one that's right for you.
It has a large 350g bean hopper, enough to grind up to 14 cups. You can grind directly into a portafilter or into its generously sized storage container, which holds 170g of coffee. Overall, this grinder gives you the chance to experiment with grinds and find what suits. Many online customers have commented on how easy it is to use and maintain, and how happy they have been with its performance.
