About Artful Wares

Updated on

Artful Wares is an independent buying-guide site about burr coffee grinders, both the electric kind on your counter and the hand-crank kind in your drawer.

We write for home coffee drinkers who want better cups without learning a new hobby. Our aim is simple: help you pick a grinder that suits the way you brew, then help you set it up well.

What we cover

Our guides cover burr grinders from brands like OXO, Baratza, Breville, Fellow, Capresso, Timemore, KINGrinder and 1Zpresso. We sort them by brew method, burr type, grind range, noise and budget.

We also explain the parts that trip people up. That means grind size for each brew method, static, cleaning, burr wear and why a grinder stops grinding.

How we work

We read the specs, the manuals and each maker's own information for every grinder we cover. We also look at what owners often report after months of daily use.

Then we turn it into plain guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks. Our How we research page explains the steps.

What we are not

We don't make or sell grinders, coffee or brewing gear, and no brand pays us to rank its products. Artful Wares isn't affiliated with OXO, Baratza, Breville, Fellow or any other maker.

We don't claim to have ground coffee with every model we cover. When we pick something, we say why, based on its specs, its features and owner feedback.

How the site is paid for

Some links here go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never decides which grinders we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
