About Us

Mission Statement

Empower home baristas to “buy once, dial in fast.” We turn measurement-led grinder testing into clear, confident picks by brew method, living situation, and budget.

Our Brand Story

Coffee Grinder Guide was born from a simple frustration: too many opinions, not enough data. We’re grinder-only on purpose. By focusing narrowly, we can go deep—testing particle distribution, noise, retention, heat, and consistency—and translate those numbers into the flavors and workflows you care about. Whether you’re chasing sweeter, clearer pour-overs with fewer fines or a balanced, channel‑resistant espresso with better texture and crema, our guidance starts with measurement and ends with the cup.

As home baristas ourselves, we test where you brew: small kitchens, apartment mornings, shared counters, and on the road. We publish dB readings with context (door closed, early morning), measure retention with single‑dose workflows, and track ease of switching between espresso and filter. Our goal is simple: fewer wasted beans, faster first tasty shots/brews, and a grinder that lasts 5–10+ years with honest total cost of ownership.

What Makes Us Different

We run a repeatable, real‑kitchen testing framework. Every grinder is mapped to the use case it actually serves—espresso, pour‑over, press, or travel—so you don’t overspend on specs you won’t use. We also maintain long‑term content on calibration, burr upgrades, maintenance, and accessories to support sustainable, low‑waste grinding over time.

Our Team (Author Personas)

• The Calibrator: obsessive about alignment, burr geometry, and repeatable grind marks—translates mechanical nuance into practical setup steps.
• The Cup Taster: leads blind tasting panels, connects particle data to perceived clarity, body, and flow for each brew method.
• The Data Wrangler: designs and maintains our test protocols, runs particle and retention analysis, and makes results easy to compare.
• The Traveler: focuses on compact, low‑mess, single‑dose gear that performs in small spaces and on the go.

Together we’re here so you can choose confidently, dial in quickly, and enjoy better coffee with less guesswork.
