Coffee Grinders
About Coffee Grinders
The grinder matters more than the machine. A modest espresso machine with a good grinder will out-perform an expensive one fed by a bad grinder every time, because the grinder is what actually controls extraction — burrs cut coffee to a consistent particle size, blades smash it into a mixture of dust and boulders that over-extracts and under-extracts in the same shot. Everything in this range is a burr grinder.
For cafés and commercial sites. Commercial grinders are built to grind on demand, all day, without the burrs heating the coffee. We stock Eureka most deeply — the Mignon and Atom families cover everything from a single-group bar to a busy espresso menu — alongside Cunill, Markibar, Sanremo, Anfim and Victoria Arduino. Match the burr size to your throughput rather than to the machine beside it.
For home and small offices. Home grinders start with hand grinders from around £35, which are genuinely good at filter grinds and hard work for espresso, and run up through compact electric grinders. Single dose grinders hold no beans in the hopper, so you weigh in exactly what you need — the right choice if you switch coffees often and the wrong one if you pull twenty shots back to back.
Espresso is the demanding case. Espresso needs fine, repeatable adjustment; filter and cafetiere are far more forgiving. If you are grinding for a traditional espresso machine, prioritise stepless or fine-stepped adjustment and flat or large conical burrs, and expect to re-dial when the beans, the weather or the bag age change. Machines with a built-in grinder are listed separately under coffee machines with grinder.
Burrs are consumable. They dull gradually rather than failing outright, so the drop in the cup is easy to miss until you replace them — replacement burrs, brushes, dosing tools and cleaning products are in grinder accessories.

Choosing a Coffee Grinder: What to Look For
The grinder is the most important piece of equipment in any espresso setup — more so than the machine itself. Even an entry-level espresso machine produces noticeably better results with a quality grinder, because grind consistency directly controls extraction. Uneven grinds produce uneven espresso: sour, bitter, or weak depending on which particles extract first.
Burr size and speed
Flat burr grinders — which make up the majority of our range — deliver consistent particle size and are the commercial standard. Larger burrs (65mm and above) grind faster with less heat build-up, which matters in high-volume café environments. Smaller burrs (50–55mm) suit lower-output settings and home use. Our range spans Eureka's widely used 65mm and 75mm flat burr models through to Cunill's reliable commercial workhorses and Markibar's heavy-duty café grinders.
On-demand vs doser
On-demand grinders — now the default in most café settings — grind directly into the portafilter and reduce waste and staling. Doser grinders store ground coffee in a chamber and suit very high-volume environments where speed outweighs freshness concerns.
Matching grinder to machine
For a 2-group traditional espresso machine running at pace, look at grinders with a grinding speed of 4g/s or above. For a home or low-volume setup, a 1.5–2.5g/s grinder is sufficient and easier to dial in. If you're unsure which grinder pairs best with your machine, contact us — we're happy to advise.
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. Free next working day delivery on orders over £69, with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4:30pm Monday to Friday. To pair a grinder with the right machine, browse our coffee machines category.
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.
