SHARDOR CG301 64 mm Burr Coffee Grinder, 100 Settings, LED Timer

For coffee drinkers who want one grinder for espresso through French press, the SHARDOR CG301 offers a wide range of grind settings. Would one adjustable grinder make it easier to switch between brewing methods? Its 100 settings and electronic timer let you tailor grind size and time to the cup you’re making. The 64 mm flat burrs and all-metal grinding chamber round out a practical setup for everyday coffee preparation.

Usage tips

Choose a finer setting for espresso and a coarser one for French press or cold brew, the adjustable scale also supports mocha, American-style coffee and pour-over. When changing between brewing styles, the range of settings makes it possible to adjust the grind on the same machine rather than relying on pre-ground coffee or keeping separate grinders for different methods. For an espresso workflow, the grinder is designed to work with a portafilter and includes a portafilter holder. It can also be used with grounds cups, drip coffee maker filters, French press filters and capsule machine cups.

The LED display gives you control over single, double and continuous grind times, adjustable in 0.1-second increments. Set the amount to suit your brew, then use the stainless-steel cup to catch the grounds. The built-in anti-static features are intended to help keep grounds from clinging and your counter tidier during transfer. For cleaning, the magnetic discharge tube, top grinder and hopper are removable, the included brush can be used to clean the burr.

Benefits

The 64 mm flat burr design is intended to deliver an even grind with minimal heat generation, supporting a consistent starting point for brewing. Fine control over both grind size and time is useful when you’re dialling in espresso or changing to a coarser method. Instead of choosing a simpler grinder with fewer settings, this model gives you a broad adjustment range in one appliance, with a display that makes timed grinding straightforward.

Buyers often praise the consistency of the grounds, the anti-static handling and ease of use. Feedback on durability is mixed, so those opinions are best treated as individual experiences rather than a promise of service life. For a morning routine, the timer lets you select a single or double dose, while continuous grinding accommodates other preparation needs.
