Hello everyone,
My friend and I were talking about which coffee grinder works best. I was so sure about my choice that I had to prove it!
He was all in on
Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
https://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B007F183LK?th=1

I was standing my ground with
Breville BCG820BSS Smart Grinder Pro
https://www.amazon.com/Breville-Smart-Grinder-Black-Stainless/dp/B00OXGXW8O?th=1

I spent hours researching across review sites like Wirecutter, CNET, Good Housekeeping, Consumer Reports, and The Spruce, as well as expert coffee blogs and forums. To my surprise… almost every site rated both products equally.
After that I decided to ask a few coffee experts for their opinion so I could finally find the best one. I realized that both of these grinders are great. The best choice really comes down to what matters most to me or you. For me it was about whether I wanted simplicity, grind precision, or advanced features that fit my brewing style.
Which one would you recommend for me? Any recommendation or personal experience would be fully appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Smart grinder pro is arguably better than a pestle and mortar and blown out if the universe by niche zero upwards.
Kinu m47 would be a better more consistent choice. Consistency is the definite weak point of the smart grinder poo. On the plus side...... It is cheap.
