Our number one choice is the Premium Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder. With twelve settings, this grinder preserves the beans flavor and aroma by crushing the beans rather than slicing them. It has a glass container with a grip lid to help the ground coffee from escaping. Rather than getting out the owner’s manual the lid conveniently is a guide to help you choose your grind setting based on what type of coffee you are making. The biggest difference between this one and our number two choice by Bodom is the rubber lid does make a difference in containing the ground beans. We also found this grind holder is easier to be removed vs the plastic in the standard version. 

Our second choice is also by Bodum and is the standard version rather than premium. This version also has the same twelve grinder settings that preserve the beans flavor and aroma.  The ergonomic shaped plastic grind catcher makes for an easy transfer into your coffee maker. This is a great alternative for those that still want quality but prefer to save some money.

Coming in for number three is a bit of a splurge. The Breville Smart Grinder is for our smart device/coffee lovers. With sixty grind settings and stainless steel burrs this allows you to choose the most precise grind, all while protecting the oils in the coffee bean. The LCD display allows you to choose grind time, and setting based upon how much coffee you will be making. 

Last but not least is not only budget friendly but also has a compact design for those that are limited on space. With fourteen grind settings to choose from this small but mighty machine still allows for personalized settings. This machine also as a bonus comes with a two in one spoon that doubles as your cleaning brush, and spoon for transferring of beans. This would be perfect for those Van Lifer's.
