OXO - Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

I took the same path. The k6 smokes the oxo. The only advantage the oxo has is that you can grind a whole bag at once, but you don't often need to do that if you drink pourover.

I like my Oxo conical burr

Get oxo burr works better for home

I do not have any experience with the Baratza, but I got the OXO conical burr as a gift. It’s still the only grinder I have and honestly, I think it’s great. I get very good tasting cups out of it, it’s easy to clean and for filter coffee the grind settings are great. For me, the biggest cons is how much static it builds up, which can lead to some clumps in the coffee. And the ground catcher doesn’t lock in. All that said, I am just starting out my coffee journey and will be buying a ZP6 by the end of the year. But I think to start, the price point for an electric grinder is hard to beat.

I upgraded to a burr grinder a few months ago, an OXO Conical Burr grinder. It made a huge difference for me. Every morning I grind just enough for 2 cups of coffee. I also learned how to make my own cold brew. The beauty of a burr grinder is being able to adjust for different brewing methods. My grinder cost $100, but I got it on sale for 25% off. I'd say, if you make only one type of coffee and you've been pleased with your current system, just stick with what works for you. But should you ever need to replace your grinder, maybe consider investing in a burr grinder.

Get a used grinder on marketplace for sure. Oxo and Breville are the bare minimum, but if you see a sub-$50 Baratza, that’s even better. If you don’t want to then start buying more beans, just resell it yourself when you finish the bag. Anything lower-end than those and I wouldn’t bother. Blade grinders ruin beans, as do super cheap “burr” grinders like Cuisinart and Shardor. As far as storage, if you brew coffee daily, I’d just keep them in a resealable container (with a “burp” valve if possible; old bags from previous coffee purchases should work) in a cool and dry place.

I started with the OXO and got a Kingrinder K6 hand grinder a year ago. I get much more flavor out of the K6 than the OXO for sure. Noticeably different.

No matter how course I go with the OXO it still produces too many fines to yield a quality pour over

I have the oxo. It's great

Oxo Conical Burr Grinder. Costs about $150 and it's about as noisy as most, but it's very fast and the grind consistency is excellent, even at the finer (espresso) end of the 10-setting scale. The aluminum catch cup is well designed and not subject to static issues.

Oxo is performing very well and less than $100
