SHARDOR Electric Conical Burr Coffee Grinder with 14 Precise Grind Settings for Perfectly Ground Coffee

RayRay: Purchased this to grind coffee for pour overs, and replace a noisy old burr grinder that was very messy due to static.

This one works great! Very uniform grind, no static, and very quiet compared to my old grinder. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a descent and reasonably priced grinder.

Penny: I wasn’t sure about spending so much on a grinder (burr mill) but I’m glad I didn’t cheap out. This thing works perfectly! While I cannot attest to its longevity as I’ve only had it a few weeks, so far it has exceeded my expectations. And like others have said, the anti-static feature is a massive selling point. I remember using a tiny brush every single time on my old cheaper one and it was so annoying.

Scott: Original purchased grinder worked great, I'm not sure why some people say it's a bit messy? It grinds the coffee and it ends up in the smoked plastic container. No mess for me. But eventually started grinding less for each press of the button.
So I contacted Shardor
After purchase support was great!
Quick responses to my emails. After an explanation of what was happening and a few instructions to follow from Shardor, they sent me a replacement grinder! It showed up much sooner than I expected. It works great. I'm drinking fresh ground coffee as I write this..
Highly recommend.

B. Gateley: I bought the cheaper version of the SHARDOR and it was TERRIBLE with static, there was coffee dust all over the place, so I bought this one to replace it and I love it! There is no static at all, it is quiet and grinds very quickly. Only complaints, as others have said, is the lowest setting of the time dial does not go low enough, and on very fine grind it does get stuck quite a bit. I only put enough beans in for my one cup of coffee and just turn it off when the grind is done to solve the first problem and for my pour-over, a medium fine grind works just great. Definitely a good buy for me!

Max Brosseau: I was kinda wary of ordering a random Grinder off Amazon, since I keep watching "coffee snobs" youtube video telling you you need a 500-1000+Dollars grinder to even be able grind decent expresso, which seemed absurd to me since it just a set of burrs and a motor.

Went with the most expensive Shador model with anti-static basket and 35 grind size while it was on a discount, since it seemed to have pretty great reviews, and so far I really love it.

First of all, it's capable to make super fine grinds, if that's what you need. I personally tend to put in on 4-7 for my expresso machine, depending on the coffee I used, but it's good to know it can grind both super fine and rather corse when needed, depending if you're going for expresso, filtered coffee, french press, etc...

The anti static basket is really nice, although personally I put a small battery powered scale instead underneath the chute , which pours pour directly from the grinder into the expresso machine filter located on the scale so I don't make excess coffee that goes stale in the anti-static basket. I move the basket around to ensure better distribution as it pours, then I stamp it when I have the...

GregRGregR: i'm reviewing the 855 (9406) grinder, the one with the smoked anti-static container, 35 grind settings, and the flat control panel. spoiler alert - it's great if you test-run it first.

PRO:
very low retention (from brand new out of the box, at a grind setting of 17 for standard drip, 20.0g in gave me 19.8g out, which seems stunning). can grind into ANY cup you want, as mine has no switches or sensors that require the container to be in place. this is great because you can grind directly into a drip filter basket, an espresso portafilter, a random cup, a small glass jar, or directly onto the countertop and floor.

the included container is great and doesn't cause static, and the output chute is nicely centered and pours grinds from above (instead of sideways like the cheaper grinder). the clearance is perfect for either a small plastic cup or a typical espresso dosing cup (like the one for my Breville Barista Express) if you don't want to use the included container.

MIDDLE:
the 2 to 12 cup settings might be ok if you (a) ignore the 2-cup setting, and (b) check your specific grinder like i did (see attached picture of mini spreadsheet that i made after...

Peter Sobczak: Updated after 100 LBs of coffee bins went through, 7 months total. Jan 9, 2023

My grinder lost antistatic properties naturally. I experience now messy grinding each time. It came gradually. Grinder was never washed, wiped and treated in any manner. It was just shaken a few times to stay clean. Now such shaking does not remove remaining coffee dust. So it must be antistatic applied to the surface as a coat, like some reviewers suggested. Grinder still works fine, makes perfect coffee for Espresso, with scale set to number 14. So searching for true, permanent antistatic coffee grinder continues.

I purchased SHARDOR Conical Burr Coffee Grinder model CG9406-UL2 to replace Cuisinart DBM-8. Cuisinart was a disaster for me. Large amount of coffee would always stay under grind chamber and entire counter area was very messy. Static was ruining grinding process each time. Each grinding job was a dreaded task due to cleaning efforts and removal of ground coffee tossed all over. I had coffee on my shoes, on my shirt, on my hands after cleaning session. What a mess! In my case with Cuisinart each grind chamber filled with coffee corresponded to...

M&G CorneliusM&G Cornelius: Buy this one!

I pored over a LOT of reviews and hemmed and hawed about details and features before settling on this Shardor conical burr grinder. I'm very happy with it and think I made the right decision. My priorities: Quiet, conical burr, 10-12 cup, no static, and not too large. Thumbs up on all counts!

We brew cold, and use a French press to strain after 24 hours. Our standard Krups unit (a smaller burr grinder) died, and I had been using a manual grinder. I still use the manual grinder, as the cold brew system we use allows me to add to the brew in a gallon container over a few days ... it works well for a half-hopper each day, but we decided to get another electric grinder to save wear and tear on my arm.

So pictured is a close-shot of the grind my manual grinder (flat steel burr) produces. Also pictured is a shot of the output of the Shardor grinder in the glass container prior to adding water. I feel that the grind is coarse enough, although I will say I wish it could be just a little more coarse. You will note, by the photo I've included, that I have the setting as low as it will go and still activate the interlock. That is several notches lower than...
