KitchenAid - Burr Coffee Grinder KCG8433

I suggest an alternative that is much closer in price to the Encore: the [KitchenAid KCG8433, on sale for $159.95 at Williams-Sonoma](https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/kitchenaid-burr-coffee-grinder/?catalogId=79&sku=7772675&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Electrics%20%3E%20Coffee%20%26%20Espresso%20Grinders&cm_ite=7772675_14571727833_pla-1418851111101&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=14571727833&gbraid=0AAAAADrs9cGYe76Sy1GVKlAE0BDQbpHgN&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9JLHBhC-ARIsAK4PhcpwvNgz294gDI3lTqNVGfRBKrcVnqK0Z7EpWifbR3K0M_PY_kv5HJsaAidqEALw_wcB). I have this grinder, and it's outstanding for drip coffee. It's as quiet as any electric grinder can be, and the noise it does make is lower in pitch vs other electric grinder. The grind quality is excellent--easily on par with the Encore. It's well-built, and has an effective anti-static catch cup as well. Very easy to use. 😊

I like to use the KitchenAid KCG8433 I recommended previously and this [MOKKOM conical grinder w/ built-in Bluetooth scale, on sale for $106 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/MOKKOM-Removable-Bluetooth-Connectivity-Anti-static/dp/B0D1C4PF2L/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1M25WT4JDHIF0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sbGhPteexD4GarhWRMf7-UE7pQjdn16WKJAy066QKueFWD6HE6KVZptmz_nqflyc0XntsOpEfP8nPQoL_q6i3_DWTygRX-2GwLhl0kQ_68rA9j774H-8PLJuHnIdokbSPCLqOJ-Ee6Zin_vQAtXyrUgTgTgSeHlFYsw5g6QrbG5UKTJwmIJzu6NJ7LWKGG2ar1wPPXMSs4wO7HiOn1ZnR7h_1cMc_dO-S2zv3lArWNLVwkO2P9MdUAtD1bRIN4uDVwl7bAfEr9C_h09__IXUawBxLUDwIxlpi1CnfbGUPWc.nJKb_TCaUkNK0bwYHLeuH5hgTOiUF4h7mchlpic4Qxg&dib_tag=se&keywords=mokkom+coffee+grinder&qid=1759920175&sprefix=Mokko%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1). The MOKKOM is also excellent—especially for the price. The ability to grind by weight is super convenient if you keep the hopper filled. The controls are easy and intuitive, and the LED screen is bright and easy to read. The grind quality is very good—on par with the Encore and KitchenAid. It’s louder and higher pitched than the KitchenAid, however. The KitchenAid has better overall build quality, though the MOKKOM is nicely built where it counts (body is all metal). It also has a larger hopper and catch cup than the MOKKOM. The anti-static is more effective with the KitchenAid, and it’s less messy—probably the least messiest electric grinder I’ve used. And KitchenAid is obviously the bigger and more well-known brand, with an established reputation for quality. The KitchenAid doesn’t get as much attention from coffee enthusiasts because KitchenAid isn’t a “coffee brand”. But it’s an excellent grinder at its price point, and a better overall choice than the Encore IMHO. You can’t go wrong with either grinder, IMHO. I recommended the KitchenAid first because it’s an established brand and it’s available from multiple vendors. Most importantly, I recommended the KitchenAid because it’s the quietest electric grinder I’ve ever used—you have an infant that you don’t want to wake when grinding coffee. The MOKKOM is available only on Amazon, to the best of my knowledge.

If you want something simple and entry level that works well with a drip machine, I like this [MOKKOM conical grinder w/ Bluetooth scale for $129 before $10 coupon](https://www.amazon.com/MOKKOM-Removable-Bluetooth-Connectivity-Anti-static/dp/B0DLG3N57P/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=RBCBBKY7L82C&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WszLcK1bDO54WO3y0V9Bl5kh2bARjNZabhxyoDacpeTKrzWN9Lbz8hNClnZDSM0qSgkfczhVYx11akwxHPhiXE7CCSLVKpG3sNTk4mvTkVc4ayq1NFPuW86UI023bSWqbtj9Ik_h4dQx37T6r_vGt6zI-mbHaLvzSg4f5jJ6_y26WMAQfQV0Y8yotn0YfMQfk3rhCMld5YSvnk7_fCCymfQ4DFIEBdeqeqFlAwb4oddQgpL01TBPWDJSlQOWH6lOx_0bMdmh8vBhk8i7KD8pg-t0GUDonzTp4p7yN5VVjZk.GAlMvVtE8J1-2iREgL7WwujiomtfnSsZlYNUh1r9NEQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=mokkom+coffee+grinder&qid=1752195441&sprefix=%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1). The aesthetics are solid IMHO, and the grind quality is quite good, especially for use with a drip machine—I have one. The Bluetooth scale is what makes this grinder awesome at the price point—it enables you to grind by weight, which is super convenient for daily use for batch brewing. It’s not that loud, either. Another grinder I like for pairing with a drip machine is the [KitchenAid KCG8433](https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KCG8433BM-Coffee-Grinder-Black/dp/B08JH6K5PY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R46XK5YDNI6A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.hHKyi-XGgrtq1Sl85_GPvUPPTNaAUEz811fmAitMd7H8T7L03lKdmjjA8OYbAsczY7Pk445t2TOEuYH9nRrl0mycCDtY8YIeQ50O6MpJ4TYERxXXsNWWb5pmEld2ZeK3nFELoGLltK5CKAjvBGm0Y36OU8SnrqyHR2GFoLMN5pppQ-5C8fWWhLuQGEpQD_gZdOZOKHJKFyFUrQF5J7X2pyePRzPoa35CicUwnajSKoIAcQ0LxbB3ilF2RVEUwxO_H2nyjP5XtgKJkDmEMPRcwdNi-fSIqhJeTna-sALvYh0.jSMvxTxA0XaLPQvAMDtC07GeL05K5TldkYxs7jIr5b8&dib_tag=se&keywords=kitchen%2Baid%2Bcoffee%2Bbean%2Bgrinder&qid=1756347195&sprefix=Kitchen%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1&th=1). Excellent build quality for the price, being a KitchenAid. Very quiet, with nice workflow. Grind quality is also quite good. Very easy to clean and maintain, anti-static performance is very good. I have this grinder too. I prefer these over the Breville and Opus. Baratza Encore is obviously a good reliable choice in this price range, but if you don’t like the aesthetics and noise, then it’s not for you.

I like the [KitchenAid KCG8433 for $159 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KCG8433BM-Coffee-Grinder-Black/dp/B08JH6K5PY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=WXWLK7N96TJ7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.hHKyi-XGgrtq1Sl85_GPvVLDjsaBXF--j1gVT_k_wz_FHWq1VlYwEfGlU3JcyllHhuRUw-U_zOKQraINyXFKS4AemsYFE7lkznvzPM4rmOoE3IaI2khQk2coQll9fO7Eb5ymzGNJgEYFWDNB4hlDhUV2etTAwYyUZvPKEqJPZEuhtlfxtjNjKNZZikyLD5YXbZC2DL-DlySeh0IuSkHVTTUDdQ9ScaTYHRuniEvcgduUF_XIodk7ouA36sgm6-wx0b00Nu_EQapadhgUNcrwCFxDW7icZvDXzLyQNI3H9uM.4yKM7CFDSHHfsdoHChM_Wqd1ecM_Wh6FTaSGXQcIeLs&dib_tag=se&keywords=kitchen%2Baid%2Bcoffee%2Bbean%2Bgrinder&qid=1756223395&sprefix=kitchen%2Baid%2Bco%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1&th=1) for your use case. It has very good grind quality, and is great for batch brewing with drip machines. Very quiet for an electric grinder, easy to clean and maintain, and has good workflow and ergonomics. Very good anti-static performance. And it's a Kitchen Aid, which means KitchenAid build quality and reliability. I have this grinder myself, as well as several other grinders.

I just purchased the kitchenaid KCG8433ER grinder and I'm extremely pleased. Low noise, consistent grind and no static. Looks great next to the moccamaster.

We had the Miele MilkPerfection then switched to KitchenAid’s Fully Automatic one because they use different pipes for tea and coffee. There’s a grinder inside and you can adjust the coarseness. Before those we used Eureka coffee grinders ($200+).

I second this! Love my KitchenAid. looks great, is quiet… makes delicious coffee, is fast, cup is antistatic.. list goes on. love the design too of the hopper coming off the top. only negative thing is that might not be good enough for espresso. but ion make espresso so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our KitchenAid burr grinder works perfectly

I use the whole beans from Zavida at Costco! $18 a kg. I have a kitchenaid brand grinder that I use twice a week
