MOKKOM - Conical Grinder w/ Built-in Bluetooth Scale

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.

IMHO, both grinders I recommended offer better value and comparable performance vs the Breville and the Opus. The Breville and Opus sell for $199. The MOKKOM is $129 before a $10 coupon, and the KitchenAid is currently $159 ($179 full price). Neither the Breville nor the Opus really offer anything that the MOKKOM and KitchenAid do not. The Opus in particular is designed to be a single doser, so the hopper has a maximum 110g capacity. The only thing the Opus offers over its competition is distinctive aesthetics and design. To be fair, that is a legitimate feature--looks on the countertop are important for some. There isn't anything that looks like the Opus, so if that style appeals to you, the Opus is your choice. In terms of grind quality and performance, all these grinders occupy the same tier. So it becomes a matter of which offers more value and has the features one wants. The MOKKOM is the least established brand, but offers the most bang-for-the-buck. Not only is it the cheapest option, but you get a removable Bluetooth scale that allows you to grind by weight. For daily batch brewing, that is super convenient--especially if one stores coffee in the hopper. The LED screen is bright and easy to read. KitchenAid makes reliable small appliances that have thoughtful design in terms of ergonomics--the KCG8433 is no exception. The catch cup is plastic, but is very robust and effective in terms of helping to reduce static and mess.

I'm going to offer a recommendation that most others have not and likely would not. However, I think it's perfect for the type of workflow that you want--simple and not having to babysit the grinder. I recommend the [MOKKOM conical grinder w/ Bluetooth scale for $129 on Amazon before $10 coupon](https://www.amazon.com/MOKKOM-Removable-Bluetooth-Connectivity-Anti-static/dp/B0DLG3N57P/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3LC7QRUOWEXMQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cJRBTVeMuk__AgyW07K4EjYNN7dusqmCegP3Mj4hTdvmKprLgjrLimMZfzBI-W1M-_5ZKq1VPe2SuSi94n3uRofl8jLdDVBardKe4IwJn88l1chgoBYTZjKRLnxaYXhh5LbbWKDi71bbpWE44kJmYqM9fGn3eAw8T95xXwueyCTl0E01lKtxMs7HFweGASnS_b2dsatehV-77jlTeVtcghpZkDWr5aAqqmr8pZ2s82m3fkoH7mV62Yoyp0g9Nd7d7euaBHCO88HmiCOuKsxwRm4kK_LDK6i5KzgFHbJsVAw.bNquoL0ZNw9ur108kwLmurhBboV5rw1aewx4ayomovE&dib_tag=se&keywords=mokkom%2Bcoffee%2Bgrinder&qid=1756502560&sprefix=mokkom%2Bg%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1). The Bluetooth scale allows you to grind by weight--it's basically set it and forget it. You can store beans in the hopper. The grind quality is quite good, and the price is outstanding. I own this grinder myself, and it's what I use during the busy work week making the morning coffee for my wife and me. I own several other grinders as well.

Yea, it seems to have some cosmetic upgrades. The guts seem to be the same. I would be comfortable with buying it—I have their conical grinder w/ Bluetooth scale that grinds by weight. It works very well!

I have the Breville and the OK Mokkom. The Breville I use for other grinds; the OK I use for espresso. The OK Mokkom is a flat burr grinder vs. conical, which is what the Breville has. I think the OK Mokkom was the cheapest flat burr I could find (lowest that I've seen it on sale is $161.99.)

Same. This is my first non-blade grinder so I’m no expert, but this thing is awesome. I started researching grinders a year ago, and it’s crazy how much this thing has to offer for $180 vs the options I was looking at for the same price or even more a year ago. Legitimately the only downside is that the brand is relatively unknown at this point. And personally, unless you’re *really* strapped for cash, I’m not sure why you would pick the shardor over the mokkom. The all-metal build quality on the mokkom is excellent and it comes with single dosing bellows, which the shardor doesn’t.

As I had a Bambino as my first machine and that same oxo before getting the Bambino, the oxo doesn't cut it. I did just get the mokkom, definitely grinds good enough

I have the mokkom, it is absolutely incredible, imo buy that with lebrew sweets or a different burr and it's still going to be less than an 064s

I just upgraded to the Mokkom and a bottomless portafilter for my Delonghi Stilosa. It’s only been a week (so I’m hoping this holds true) but I am very impressed with the results

I have the Mokkom and just use it for espresso. I like it so far. The Shardor is the plastic body cousin of the Mokkom.

For the budget grinder, shardor/mokkom/GF64.  I prefer Mokkom since it’s updated version of shardor. 

I have the mokkom and a SD40. Both are great!

Try the Mokkum. I do espresso and French press and it’s been great
