The shortlist separates purpose-built filter grinders from flexible all-rounders, then makes voltage and UK support gaps visible.
Updated 3 August 2026 · specification-led editorial comparison · not hands-on testing
A filter-led flat-burr choice with auto-stop and a long published UK warranty; espresso is not its clearest use case here.
The most focused filter-only design here: low, narrow and explicit about not being an espresso grinder.
The most interesting new all-rounder in this index: compact, stepless and unusually flexible at its official UK price.
A versatile and compact all-purpose route, but the two-ring adjustment is less immediately readable than one external dial.
