Small coffee grinders - Top 5 models for your kitchen or office

Home > Coffee-Accessories > Coffee-Grinders > Small-Coffee-Grinders



Why small coffee grinders will do just fine even if they seem to lack the size.


Small coffee grinders are your solution if you and your household's consumption of coffee is quite small, if you have a small kitchen counter, or if you are on a budget but still want to grind your own beans.

Let us find out why.

The only reason I can think of in buying large coffee grinders is if you and household consume a lot of coffee everyday. Otherwise, you don't need them big and bulky coffee grinders.

They would just consume a lot of space on your kitchen top unless of course, you just take them out whenever you use it. But if you have time to put it away every time you use it, then that could mean you rarely use it.

If so, then you rarely grind coffee beans. Oh, please don't tell me you grind coffee beans that would last you for over two months. Sorry but that's a no-no. Unless, your main priority is budget and convenience.

Getting small coffee grinders could actually also save you money as long as you get a good brand, which we will discuss below. Big coffee grinders could cost you above $50 while smaller coffee grinder could cost as low as $14. And there are actually good and high quality ones.

Here are CoffeeTickle.com's picks for best small coffee grinders:

Bodum C-Mill Blade Grinder - Black - 5679-01USicon

Bodum C-Mill Coffee Grinder This Bodum coffee grinder is a very good start grinder since it is easy to use and is design very well. It's downside is that it doesn't produce a great grind good for espresso machines but more for a French press, which is what Bodum is known for.

This could be a good thing though, as you learn how to appreciate coffee and how its made before you jump into making and pulling espresso shots. Start with this small coffee grinder and you'll be satisfied.

Braun KSM2-WH Aromatic Coffee Grinder

Braun KSM2-WH Aromatic Coffee Grinder You want efficiency and value? Then I recommend taking a look at this Braun coffee grinder. A lot of owners have said that they still use this model even after more than 10 years. Now that's real value!

What's nice is that even after all these years, Braun has kept producing this same model because people love it. Good thing Braun listens to its customers.

One big reason why it's in our top 5 small coffee grinders list.

Toastmaster_Coffee_Grinder125 Not the sexiest in design among the coffee grinders here but it does the job well. And if you consider the price of around $15, how can you not be satisfied with it?

Let's add another one to our list of small coffee grinders:

Capresso Cool Grind Coffee Grindersicon

Capresso_Cool_Grind_Coffee_Grinder125 What makes this one of the nice small to medium sized coffee grinders is that it has a low heat buildup which preserve coffee bean flavors while you grind.

The main reason why I didn't include this in the top 5 small coffee grinders list even if I like this model is that it has quite a large capacity (3.5 oz) for its small - medium size (4 x 4.2 x 8 inches).

Just consider this one in your shopping list for a nice coffee grinder with a cool safety stop and pulse action for safety.

In case you've noticed, this small coffee grinder is shaped almost like a bullet - just in case you're particular with the design.

Price range: $19.99 - $25

  • Low heat buildup preserves coffee bean flavor while grinding
