D40+ Single Dose Coffee Grinder (Black)

Excellent value for price. It has no problem with an espresso grind. The bellows work well. It’s obviously not zero retention, but darn close. For a conical burr grinder this is darn, darn good. You’d really have to be an espresso expert to distinguish it from a flat burr grinder. Plus, it’s very small opposed to most other grinders. In the video I filmed it in front of my air fryer for perspective. The construction is solid powdered aluminum. I do wish the bellows were a little better constructed, but it works and that’s the most important thing. I’m very, very happy!

I am new to coffee grinders, espresso machines and all the accessories so tried to do a fair amount of research before any purchases of such equipment. I wanted something that would perform well but a small kitchen makes size a large part of the consideration. I purchased a Breville Bambino Plus so needed a companion grinder. I have used this grinder daily now for two months and it has performed very well. I had to set the dial up to 6 for the beans I am using. There is little retention, I usually get the same wt out as put in, there is never more than 1 gram difference. I find clumping varies, depending on the bean - I buy beans from a local roaster and one type clumps a bit more than the other, but in my limited experience I do not consider the clumping excessive. I do use one of those WDT tools, and seems to work well, I get consistent results. I do not find the noise at all excessive or objectionable, especially since it only takes a short amount of time to grind. I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it felt when I took it out of the box (it comes very well packed), has a good weight for its size. Love the look of it and the size is perfect next to my Bambino Plus with my limited counter space. Time will tell, of course, but so far I am very pleased with this purchase. I am so much happier with the espressos coming from my machines than I ever was with inconsistent coffee shop drinks.

Well-built and solid feeling, the D40+ gives me very consistent fine coffee grounds, perfect for espresso. I have to take it apart and clean it out frequently. After 10 grinds (enthusiastically using the bellows to clear it each time), I removed a gram of coffee grounds from the burrs and outlet. When I am changing the grind size to dial-in my espresso shot (or switching to a different coffee bean), this amount of retention is a hassle. One of the Allen wrenches supplied for dismantling and cleaning were the wrong size. The fit & finish is otherwise good. If you don't mind pulling it apart and cleaning it every few days, this is a good, budget espresso grinder.

Bought this back and june when i really my Barratza no longer grinded as fine as i wanted. It is great for espresso. However, I would not recommend it for coarser grinder. I use about 4-6 times a week is it produces a consistent grind size with minimal retention (.2 grams at most). This is a great option that doesn’t break the budget.

Product arrived quickly. Build quality is high, full metal construction. Device grinds with good consistency and low noise. Bellows had a terrible smell, it did go away after washing.Device makes a high pitched sound when plugged in and not in use; not acceptable and therefore returning.

There are many options for a grinder, yet this one checks all the boxes. affordable (compared to espresso focus grinders out there), easy to use, easy to clean, and looks pretty nice. There are many options for a grinder these days but they can be extremely expensive and provide you with the same features as this one. For a person who is looking to get started in the espresso world, I highly recommend this product. It gives great results.

The media could not be loaded. Excellent grinder, practically 0 retention. However, the screw that holds the hopper in place doesn’t tighten, theres a weird (paint?) smell from the factory in the dosing cup and you need to bang on the bellow really hard for it to work properly.It was a no brainer to calibrate, took only 3 doses to get my right grind. This model supposed to be step less but it feels stepped because of the clicking when you turn the adjustment dial.Overall, my 5 star rating is honest & unbiased and I would definitely recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about this grinder! It’s perfect for my espresso needs. You can dial in the perfect grind size for your bean of choice. Footprint is small and the design is quite interesting. There’s something industrial and almost “steampunk” about it. I have it in black.
