Wal-Mart is not the seller. Use caution.

You're specifically referring to their old 2018 video. It is also just entirely wrong, and they said nothing about fresh ground vs old grinds.

Trust me, one of the most important things you can do is get fresh coffee (whole bean, roasted within the last 6 months... pref 3 if possible). Then you need a grinder for it... the nicer the grinder the more consistent your grind size. Think of this like cooking vegetables... if you were to chop potatoes into random size chunks, it is nearly impossible to get them all "cooked" to the same doneness. Normally you don't want this, and the same thing applies to coffee brewing.

Methods like french press are more forgiving, but others... not so much. Underextracted coffee is sour. Overextracted coffee is bitter and astringent. Just like with the potato example, its easier to hit the sweet spot if your grounds are generally the same size rather than large boulders and a ton of fines.

EDIT: Also, 100% agree with DiMAn0684 about this not being a capable espresso grinder. This is probably a step up from using old, stale coffee for drip, pour over, or french press (especially this one) but espresso requires as much evenness as possible and a VERY fine grind setting. You're putting coffee under high pressure, if the grinds aren't fine enough, water is just going to flow through and you're going to get a very sour shot. Water also will flow through the path of least resistance, so an uneven grind (like what you'd get with this) would lead to most water going through a couple of spots (channeling) and barely flowing through the rest.

Only in the winter time. But delicious coffee can be enjoyed year round with this grinder.

Lots of bad reviews on their main website. Mainly that it doesn't grind for espresso.

It's noisy and creates a lot of static which creates a lot of "dust." It works though and at that price point is a good value. If you are looking for a good, not great, burr grinder and aren't grinding for espresso this should be just fine.

Quote from ElatedWalrus2609 :
It has been said by the experts that this is the only way to grind full beans. Going think hard on this one, the price is enticing.
Really depends on how you make your coffee. Doubt most people would notice a difference using a drip coffee machine. If you use a French press or a Aeropress, then you'll appreciate the even grinds. It can get difficult pressing the very fine particles from the cheaper blade grinders.

America test kitchen did blind taste test with coffee experts using different grinders. Yeah they couldn't tell the difference between grinder types. 🤣🤣🤣 fresh ground versus not fresh yes, otherwise nope

Likely in for one, much more palatable price than other products.
Anyone know the quality of manufacturer warranty or CS?

The Mueller/ENZOO [amazon.com] conical burr grinder has way more impressive features and better reviews.
  • Quick detach burrs for easy cleaning
  • Straight through grind path for low retention
  • Can grind directly into filter basket/portafilter for convenience and reduced mess
  • Button trigger for portafilter dosing
  • Low (450rpm) burr speed for reduced noise and heat build-up
  • It can grind at least fine enough for pressurized espresso without modification, much finer than the Sboly
One version is currently $31.99 with free Amazon shipping. [amazon.com]

Edit: Coincidentally this Sboly was in James Hoffmann's latest video [youtu.be].

Why are others so much more expensive? Could there be that much difference in quality?
Yes, there is. You get what you pay for with grinders, both in the consistency of your grind as well as the durability of the grinder.

That grinder has small flat burrs [youtube.com]. Those really just pulverize the beans and create a lot of fines even when set coarsely. Conical burrs are much better in inexpensive grinders as long as the rest of the grinder isn't junk.

This is a plate burr, not a conical burr. The notion or idea you'd get any decent consistency in your grind with this is laughable.

People who aren't actual coffee snobs will be fine with this. If you're on the insufferable level (like me) this is going to be woefully inadequate.
