The OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is for drip and pour-over drinkers who want a consistent burr grind without paying for a top-end machine. The research found it excellent value, consistently reliable and easy to use, and it sits in A tier at rank 2 on our board. If you want more grind settings or a grinder that also handles espresso well, the Baratza Virtuoso+ in S tier is the upgrade. If espresso is your main drink, the Baratza Encore ESP is the better fit.

Not well enough to rely on. Its grind settings are limited compared with higher-end models, and espresso needs fine adjustments the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder does not offer. It is a filter-coffee grinder first. For espresso on our board, pick the Baratza Encore ESP.

Some users report a slightly noisy motor. It is not the quietest grinder on our board, but the noise was a minor complaint rather than a reason reviewers marked it down, and a single dose grinds in seconds.

The research describes the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder as solidly constructed and consistently reliable, with no failure pattern reported, which is why it ranks second. As with any burr grinder, brush out the burrs and chute regularly so oils and fines do not build up.

Yes. Cold brew needs a coarse, even grind, and conical burrs produce exactly that with little fine dust. The OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is the sensible cold brew pick on our board for anyone who does not need the extra range of the Baratza Virtuoso+.
