Coffee Grinders

Shop coffee grinders for home baristas, offices and commercial coffee shops — including Eureka Mignon grinders, Markibar commercial grinders, Cunill grinders and manual options for travel and home use. A quality burr grinder is the single most impactful upgrade you can make to your coffee — consistent particle size means more even extraction, better flavour clarity and repeatable results across every brew.

From compact on-demand espresso grinders with near-silent motors to high-output commercial models built for continuous use during peak service, our range covers every setup and volume.

Choosing the right coffee grinder

For home espresso, a compact grinder with stepless micrometric adjustment gives you the fine-tuning control needed to dial in espresso accurately. The Eureka Mignon Specialita is the most popular choice in this category — quiet, precise and compact enough for any kitchen counter. If you switch between different beans regularly and want minimal flavour carry-over and waste between brews, a single dose grinder is the better workflow.

For coffee shops and commercial counters, prioritise burr size, motor speed and dosing consistency. Larger flat burrs produce more even particle distribution, while faster motors handle continuous use without overheating. The Markibar range is built specifically for high-footfall commercial environments where speed and repeatability at the bar matter most.

For offices and workplace coffee stations where staff are using a bean-to-cup machine, many machines have an integrated grinder — browse our bean-to-cup coffee machines for all-in-one options. If you need a separate grinder to pair with a filter machine or cafetière, a stepped burr grinder at a coarser setting is the practical choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a burr grinder and a blade grinder?

A burr grinder uses two abrasive surfaces to crush coffee beans to a consistent particle size — the foundation of even extraction and balanced flavour. A blade grinder chops beans unevenly, producing a mix of fine powder and coarse chunks that extracts inconsistently. For espresso, filter or any brew method where flavour matters, a burr grinder is the correct choice.

Which coffee grinder is best for espresso?

A grinder with stepless micrometric adjustment and flat burrs gives you the precision needed for espresso. The Eureka Mignon range is widely regarded as the benchmark at its price point for home and small commercial use. For high-volume café environments, look at the Markibar commercial grinders, which are built for continuous output and faster dosing.

Do I need a separate grinder for espresso and filter coffee?

In most cases, yes. Moving between fine espresso settings and coarser filter settings on the same grinder is slow and risks inconsistency, especially during busy service. If you regularly brew both methods, a dedicated grinder for each keeps workflow clean and results predictable.

How often should I clean my coffee grinder?

Brush out loose grounds daily to prevent build-up in the burr chamber. A deeper clean — using grinder cleaning tablets or removing and wiping the burrs — is recommended every two to four weeks depending on usage volume. Stale grounds and coffee oils in the grinder are one of the most common causes of flat, bitter espresso. See our grinder accessories and cleaning products for what you need.
