This Wilfa has long been on our list as a great flat-burr grinder for pour-overs and drip. It remains such, though the Ode springboarded it as the top pick with its Gen 2 burr update, at about the same price. Like its name suggests, the Wilfa offers a beautifully consistent grind size and will make you a lovely pour-over.

In order to get the highest-quality cup of joe at home, you have to start with a good burr coffee bean grinder like this one. Its 58mm steel flat burrs ensure precision and uniformity, with 41 settings to choose from for cold brew, pour-over, drip, French press, AeroPress and espresso. The stylish grinder is easy to use — put your beans in, push a button and it shuts off when the beans are “pulverized” — and “sits discreetly” on a countertop “without getting in the way,” said The Verge. ($299, Lardera)

This Gevi machine is another great starting point adored by coffee lovers. At $170, it still leaves considerable room in the budget for a top-notch burr grinder, and it doesn’t have all the unnecessary bells and whistles that can drive up the price. Like Michael Cramer, founder of Lardera Coffee Roasters, said, “You may easily compromise on the automation and aesthetics of an espresso machine.”

Sure, coffee origin and roast date are important, but so is using a machine that's not caked in old coffee oil and mineral scale. "Rancid oils in the group head and portafilter will add a bitter note to every shot, no matter how good your beans are," says coffee expert, founder, and product developer at Lardera Coffee Roasters Michael Cramer. Coffee beans are oily, so cleaning your coffee grinder or the built-in burr grinder on your machine is essential to getting a good flavor.

"I've been through many automatic coffee makers over the years, including several of our winners (which are all great). The Wilfa, I think, is the best I've used so far. It's a simple machine with a single button for turning it on and off, but the design is elegant, the water temperature is spot-on, and, thanks to an adjustable flow-rate valve in the brewing basket that goes from fully shut to wide open, you have an incredible amount of control over your brew process and variables. The coffee I make with the Wilfa is consistently some of the best I've managed to brew with any automatic drip machine. Highly recommended. — Daniel Gritzer, editorial director "

"The Uniform is a high-end product for home baristas, touting itself as a grinder for filter coffee: Chemex, drip, Aeropress, and pour-over. It’s not conceived for espresso but is capable of making it, an idea that made me wonder if it was the sort of rare bird that could do it all."

"At the risk of starting a coffee grinder war (because when it comes to fighting about coffee, we’re all losers), I’d like to recommend an alternative model for anyone prepared to pay slightly more — the Wilfa Uniform. I’ve been using the European version of this grinder for a while now, and now, there’s finally a model available for North America."

"Well, we can sate that lust: Lardera Coffee, an up and coming company looking to bring in some of the best coffee products from around the world, has worked with Wilfa to get a 110V version of the Wilfa Uniform grinder, and bring it to North America. And as of this First Look, it is finally available for purchase."
