Introduction

If you’re serious about brewing coffee at home, the quality of your grinder matters just as much as your beans. The OXO BREW Conical Burr Coffee Grinder (8717000) is engineered to unlock the full potential of your coffee beans. With 15 grind settings and precise burr grinding technology, it offers superior consistency, flavor retention, and control — everything a coffee enthusiast needs for the perfect cup.

Whether you’re grinding for espresso, French press, drip, or cold brew, the OXO BREW provides an elevated coffee experience from start to finish. Let’s dive into what makes this grinder one of the most popular choices among home brewers and professionals alike.

Design and Build Quality

The OXO BREW’s minimalist, sleek design is built to complement modern kitchens. Its compact footprint ensures it doesn’t take up too much counter space, while the durable stainless steel and black plastic casing give it a professional look and feel. The clear hopper and grounds container make it easy to monitor bean and grind levels, enhancing user convenience.

The hopper can hold up to 0.75 pounds of coffee beans, while the grounds container holds enough ground coffee for up to 12 cups. The entire structure is sturdy and stable, with thoughtful details like a one-touch start timer that remembers your last setting — ideal for daily routines.

Conical Burr Technology Explained

At the heart of this grinder is its conical burr mechanism, which is widely regarded as the best method for grinding coffee. Unlike blade grinders that chop beans unevenly, conical burrs crush beans in a uniform manner, preserving the coffee’s essential oils and delivering a consistent grind size — crucial for great-tasting coffee.

Conical burrs reduce friction and heat buildup, which can otherwise affect flavor and aroma. This precision grinding ensures your coffee remains rich, aromatic, and balanced, no matter the brew method. If you’re aiming for barista-level coffee at home, conical burrs are the gold standard — and OXO delivers it flawlessly.

Grind Settings and Key Features

The OXO BREW Conical Burr Grinder offers a wide range of settings to suit any brewing method. With 15 grind size options and additional micro-adjustments, it caters to every coffee style, from ultra-fine espresso to coarse cold brew. The numbered dial is easy to turn and provides tactile feedback, making adjustments intuitive and precise.

Key features include:

• 15 main grind settings with micro-adjustments
• Stainless steel conical burrs for consistent grinding
• One-touch start button with memory for last setting
• Large-capacity hopper (0.75 lbs of beans)
• Grounds container for up to 12 cups of coffee
• UV-blocking tint on hopper to protect beans

With this level of control, you can fine-tune your grind for taste, strength, and method — a major advantage over cheaper grinders that only offer basic settings.

Performance and Consistency

Consistency is king in coffee grinding, and the OXO BREW excels here. The conical burrs ensure that each particle of coffee is the same size, which leads to even extraction and better flavor. Whether you’re grinding a single serving or a full pot, the results are reliable and uniform.

The motor is optimized for slower speeds to minimize heat and static. This helps preserve the coffee’s natural flavors and reduces mess during grinding. The one-touch timer also eliminates guesswork — once you've dialed in your preferred grind and time, it remembers your setting for future use.

It’s also surprisingly quiet for a burr grinder, making it ideal for early mornings or shared living spaces.

Ease of Use and Cleaning

Despite its advanced grinding mechanism, the OXO BREW is extremely user-friendly. Setup takes just a few minutes, and the grind settings are clearly labeled. Once you're ready, you simply load the hopper, select your grind, and press the one-touch button — that’s it.

Maintenance is just as easy. The top burr is removable for cleaning, and the grounds container and hopper are both easy to access and clean. OXO has also designed the chute to reduce static buildup, which helps minimize mess. A quick brush and occasional wipe-down are usually all it takes to keep this grinder in top condition.
