True coffee lovers know that the taste of a life-giving drink directly depends not only on the type of coffee beans, but also on the quality of their grinding. Connoisseurs fiercely argue among themselves which type of mechanism to prefer and which manufacturer to give preference to. So which coffee grinder is best for your home? It all depends on how you are used to preparing this drink.
"Knife" grinding is great for Turks, and powder, crushed by millstones, is more often used in coffee machines. Special connoisseurs prefer manual coffee grinders, enjoying not only the grinding process itself, but also the aroma that spreads around.
To make the choice easier for our readers, we have compiled a small rating of the best coffee grinders for home or small coffee shops. The selection is based on customer reviews, pricing, power and quality. In general, there is plenty to choose from!
Rating of the best manufacturers
Before talking about the models themselves, let's conduct a small overview of the manufacturers of "aromatic" technology.

Automatic blocking of turning on the device when the cover is open. Overheat protection. Very easy to use coffee grinder, no special functions. Price - 650 rubles.

Benefits:
- low price;
- easy to use;
- does the job relatively well for their money;
- there is an automatic blocking.
Disadvantages:
- noisy;
- only one degree of grinding.
For its own money, a coffee grinder will grind aromatic beans for making coffee, but not to a powder state. If you do not want to spend money on something more interesting and more expensive, or in the absence of large funds, the ENDEVER COSTA-1052 model is worth buying. If these options are not enough, you can consider Caso Coffee Flavor or Bosch MKM.
Polaris PCG 1120
Coffee grinder PCG 1120 of the American company Polaris with a power of 200 W is equipped with a stainless steel rotor blade, a function of a protective engine blocking if the lid is open. The volume of the compartment for coffee beans is 50 g, which is less than in the previous model ENDEVER COSTA-1052. There are no legs, and without them the car "jumps" on the surface, creating additional noise. They were in the previous model. Price - 1080 rubles.
Benefits:

- safety interlock when the cover is open.

The machine copes with its task, but has disadvantages that leave a negative impression. Provided that you can grind the beans into 2 portions at a time, I consider it unacceptable for the coffee grinder to heat up quickly. But the model is enough for 2 minutes of work. In the previous machine, the cup is 25 g larger - that's a whole shot of coffee and doesn't heat up as quickly. ENDEVER COSTA-1052 is 400 rubles cheaper compared to Polaris PCG 1120.
Mikma IP-33
The Mikma IP-33 coffee grinder, released in 2016, does not differ in its functionality from the previous models ENDEVER COSTA-1052 and Polaris PCG 1120.

You shouldn't pay 800 rubles more for a coffee grinder of the same capabilities, unless you are a fan of this brand.
Bosch MKM 6000/6003
The model belongs to the type of coffee grinder with a knife system, the blade is made of stainless steel. The volume of the bowl is 75 g, as in the ENDEVER COSTA-1052 coffee grinder, and a special inclination of the bottom of the bowl is made for intensive mixing and even grinding. Safe power key helps avoid accidents. The fineness of the grains depends on the grinding duration, but Bosch heats up quickly, it is not recommended to use it for more than 30 seconds. The power is 180 W. Price - 1700 rubles.
Benefits:

- special bowl tilt for better grinding.
One drawback - heats up quickly.
You will pay more than previous models due to the special bowl tilt and brand awareness. All other functions are available in other models, but the volume of the bowl is 25 g less. The ENDEVER COSTA-1052 model has the same volume, but costs 2 times less. If you are used to trusting well-known brands and do not experiment with others, less well-known, then feel free to buy Bosch MKM 6000/6003.

Caso Coffee Flavor
A powerful coffee grinder in a stainless steel case CASO Coffee Flavor is designed for grinding coffee beans, spices: for this, an individual grind level is provided, which was not in the previous models of the rating. For example, the REDMOND RCG-1604 coffee grinder in the same price segment does not have such modes. The double-sided blade is made of high strength stainless steel.
