OXO On Barista Brain Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
Overview
Are you an espresso aficionado one morning but a lover of French press the next? While keeping your taste buds on their toes (do taste buds have 'toes'?), the ever-changing grinding needs are almost enough to make you want to stick with one prep method...almost! Alas, the OXO On Barista Brain Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is here to make grinding a breeze with a built-in scale, the ability to grind by weight or number of cups of coffee and its range of grind settings.
Features and Functionality
- Built-In Scale - The integrated scale allows you to set the desired number of grams, which the grinder will then match.
- Multiple Ways to Grind - Grind by the number of cups or grams into a coffee container, which can hold up to 12-cups, or grind directly into a portafilter.
- Strength Adjustment - When grinding based on cups, the default setting is 8 grams per cup. If you'd like a stronger brew, simply move the indicator on the front to increase the number of grams ground per cup.
- Easy To Use - The simple dial/button and LED interface - which displays grind icons, warnings and settings - make using this grinder a breeze.
- A Smart Hopper - The 16 ounce hopper is UV-tinted to protect those precious beans and features a 'trap door' that holds beans in when the hopper is removed from the grinder.

How Does it Compare? | Occupying the same grinder category as Breville's Dose Control Pro, the OXO Barista Brain grinder lacks the ability to grind fine espresso but makes up for it with a built-in scale. Each with their own strengths, the choice will depend on the preparation methods for which it is used. |
Tips and Tricks | We found the scale to consistently be 1 gram over, likely due to the remaining grinds in the chute falling into the container after the programmed amount was ground. Keep this in mind when using the grinder for methods that require a bit more precision, like pour over. |
Recommended For | Coffee Press, Drip Coffee, Fine Drip / Pour Over |
