The SHARDOR flat burr grinder has 32 grind settings running from espresso-fine to french press coarse, controlled by a timer dial rather than a hold-down button. The footprint is 5 by 9.7 by 6.5 inches, which is the practical detail: most burr grinders are too tall to live under a cabinet, and this one clears. The 40-second timer means you dial in a dose once and repeat it every morning without weighing. Flat burrs give more consistent particle size than the blade grinders in the same price bracket, which is what actually changes the cup. Best fit: pour over, drip, french press, and moka pot drinkers. It reaches espresso-fine but a dedicated espresso grinder will hold tolerance better at that end.
Pros
- Flat burrs instead of blades, which is the actual difference in cup consistency
- 32 settings cover french press through espresso-fine on one dial
- 5 by 9.7 inch footprint clears most under-cabinet spaces
- 40-second timer repeats the same dose every morning without a scale
Cons
- Plastic housing and a static-prone chamber, so grounds cling and need a tap to release

Frequently asked questions
Is it fine enough for real espresso?
It reaches espresso-fine at the low end of the range. For drip, pour over, french press, and moka pot it is well suited. For a pressurized-basket machine it works, and for a serious naked-portafilter setup a dedicated espresso grinder holds tolerance better.
How loud is it?
Louder than a manual hand grinder, quieter than a blade grinder running at full speed. A typical 20 to 40 second cycle is comparable to a small blender.
Do the grounds stick inside from static?
Yes, some. The plastic chamber builds static, especially with light roasts and dry beans. Tapping the chamber before removing it releases most of it. A drop of water on the beans before grinding also reduces it.
Can I grind spices in it?
Physically yes, but the burrs will hold the aroma and transfer it into your coffee afterward. Use a separate grinder for spices.
