REVIEW: Vevor Conical Burr Grinder

If you’re like me, you love a good cup of coffee, and that means having a good coffee grinder.

With Holler Roast having a commercial burr grinder, I rarely have the opportunity to test consumer grade one, but I got my hands on the Vevor Conical Burr Grinder the other day and there are some things I really like about it – and also a trick I figured out to make sure you get that outer burr seated correctly after cleaning.

Small and Strong
First, let’s talk about the size. The Vevor Conical Burr Grinder is one of the smaller electric grinders I have found. To go any smaller, you are looking and a hand cranked one. It doesn’t take up much space on the counter and it feels strong and sturdy We will see how long it lasts. With very few moving parts, I am optimistic for its durability.

Simplicity Wins

This grinder is super simple to use. It has a dial that you twist to set how fine or coarse you want your coffee to be ground. There’s also an on/off button that you can press halfway to grind and release as you release your finger, or all the way to toggle on and off.

Why Burrs Are Better
The big difference in quality that you get with a burr grinder over a spinning blade style one is consistency in the size of the coffee ground. Yes I am talking that individual spec of coffee that gets hit with the hot (or cold) water, which extracts the flavor. The whirling blade style has variable sized grounds and inevitably some sludge sized ones. With a burr grinder, the size of the ground is more consistent, which improves the quality of your coffee extraction.

This is totally coffee nerd stuff guys. Most people will not notice the difference except the reduction in sludgy grounds being in your cup.

Easy to Clean
Cleaning the Vevor Conical Burr Grinder is really easy. It comes apart quickly, and you can clean it in just two minutes each day. This keeps your coffee fresh and stops gross build-up from ruining your brew.

Reassembly Hack
Here’s the trick you need to know:

when you put the grinder back together after cleaning, make sure you do it the right way. If you don’t, it might only give you a coarse grind. But don’t worry, once you know how, it’s a piece of cake. You can see how I line up the outer conical burr in this video.
