Perfect and DELICIOUS fresh ground coffee!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020

This Sboly coffee grinder is PERFECT for a 'coffee-holic' like me. It makes my morning coffee the best I've ever had. I am serious about my coffee. The hopper holds enough beans that you can go days without having to refill it, even if you grind enough for a 12 cup pot every day. The conical stainless steel burr grinder produces a consistent grind, very uniform. You can select from 2 to 12 cups, and it will stop automatically at the correct amount of grounds. It's really easy to clean with the included measuring spoon/brush. It also will grind from the 'American corse' down to the finest espresso grind (nearly a powder). The resulting coffee is fresh and delicious. great purchase. Five stars.

Worst coffee grinder ever

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021

This product is horrible, wanted to return it the day after i purchased, the only reason i didnt is becsuse i had to pay the postage and take it to post office, not eligble for quick return at local UPS shipper

It turns on by itself when unattended
It doesnt turn on at other times, shuts off in the middle of grinding
After grinding machine and coffee has horrible "burnt oil" smell....not the smell of freshly brewed coffee

Difficult to see canister to see if it is full and hard to clean

As soon as i can get over the wasted money I plan to purchased a new grinder, but you couldnt give me this one again for free..... sboly sucks!!!

Beautiful & Compact Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

This is a beautiful stainless steel coffee grinder that will go along with all your stainless steel appliances. It is also very compact and won't take up much space. Whether you leave it on the countertop or decide to store it away in a cabinet.
Love the different grind sizes available to me. I love to make cold brew so the "coarse" grind option comes very in handy, but you can also choose extra fine or anything in between.
This coffee grinder is NOT very loud which I LOVE (won't wake up everybody in the house in the morning), because I've used other grinders that are very loud. It also grinds the coffee beans pretty quickly (normally just a few seconds).
The option to choose how many tablespoons to grind is very useful, and it comes with an included tablespoon measurement.

Not sure what the fuss is about. (Great unit!)

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

TL;DR first: It's a cheap unit. It works perfectly fine with that in mind.

Edit 11/14/2020:
I've since switched from flavored coffee to traditional, and the slightly lower moisture in the beans brought the issues most people complain about out.

However, at this price point, you should have NO expectation that they're using premium anti-static plastics. This is one of the cheapest burr grinders you can get for crying out loud, and Lexan (the durable, static-free plastic commonly used in products like this at a higher price point) is quite expensive. It's also a luxury with things like coffee, and not a necessity, like it would be for a product where a fraction of a gram matters.

Also, it only tends to 'burp' grounds when it needs to be cleaned, so I tend to just use it having a little accident as a reminder to pop it apart next time the hopper needs to be filled and give it a good brushing.

The entitled whiners think they'll be getting a 200+ dollar unit for this price. Keep in mind what you're paying when you're buying and adjust your expectations accordingly!

Original review:
I really don't get what most people down in the one star reviews are complaining about.

When it comes to grounds being all over, or things grinding oddly. I've never had either of those problems. The volume metering works great, the grind setting meter works well for both drip and for making it coarser for when I want to break out the perk pot.

I don't know why people are complaining about it 'getting grounds everywhere' either. The grounds cup and lid fit together and into the unit very snugly and everything gets put right where it belongs during the grinding process. I've never even had minor dust accumulation on the top cover of the cup.

My best guess as to what they're doing wrong is that maybe they're buying cheap garbage beans that are burned to heck and have no oil content left. I don't know, though, I'm no expert on coffee. I just know that from my nearly three months of ownership, I've never seen any of these issues that some people are complaining so angrily about, and that's the only thing I can think of that could cause them (aside from very low humidity winter conditions, which would ALSO be user error, just like feeding it trash beans).

If anything changes I'll update my review accordingly.

Good Consistency of Grounded Beans

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

The most important factor for me is consistency of grounds. Tried from extra fine to coarse. Just Perfect! Also, the fact I can rely on durability of stainless steel burr mill and the perfect size (not small, not big, just perfect size) and the most deciding factor, "incredibly affordable price for such quality COFFEE BEAN GRINDER!". It grinds so well and continuously unlike the other one I had to return, minor discomfort like remains of coffee powder messing up, sticking up, etc. etc. are just lazy complaints I will not make. Instead, I just tap the container when the job is finished.

Neat grinder, but difficult to get set up initially

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

The only reservation I have found is that as shipped, the supposedly removable to clean top but is frozen in place. I certainly could not turn it counter clockwise to remove it with my fingers. I checked the questions on Amazon about the product and found that many others had exactly this problem. Some folks were even returning it because of this. Such crummy quality control at the factory! But be aware it can be solved...provided you have a huge pair of pliers. Once the thing breaks loose, this is a very nice machined.
Controls are well functioning and intuitive. Noise is less than I would have thought. The grind is wonderfully uniform.
I had anticipated problems with static electricity, the bugaboo of burr grinders. I actually gave one away years ago because this bothered me so much. No problem at all with this machine, though I would caution that I was not grinding frozen beans, which seems to help.
Ths unit was a bargain, methinks, thanks to the coupon offer that appeared on the Amazon site. Love those coupons! They are so easy to use and certainly tip me toward purchasing anything I am browsing. Shipping , as always with an Amazon purchase was super quick (Next day, in fact at no extra charge. Overall I am well pleased...after I got the bloody burr thingie loosened up.
By the way, what is meant by Amazon when they want us to rate "Sheerness"?

Fast, Efficient, Excellent Cutting Ability

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

I came across the Sobly conical burr coffee grinder when I was looking to replace my old grinder and I'm very glad I did. I read reviews and found my old standby no longer reigned supreme, in fact, it had more single stars than a cloudy night. After spending many evenings reading reviews, I decided to try the Sobly. It's fast, efficient, cuts my beans ultra fine for espresso, medium fine for Melita drip, and a bit chunkier for my stove top percolator. I'm very happy with the results, the ease of use, and the exceptional job it does cutting the beans. My only problem is trying to get the cutter undone to clean the inside since I have arthritis in my hands. Otherwise, it's a great machine.

Finally, a grinder for people with disabilities!

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

We bought a coffee grinder that I was physically unable to use because I have weak hands and struggle with my pincer grip after multiple strokes. We gave that one to my brother and I went on a quest for a grinder I could use. This is literally the only one I found and it's also quiet, compact, and fairly tidy. It's significantly smaller than most while still grinding plenty of beans. I'm sloppy in the kitchen because of my hands but you can see in the video about a week of grounds on the counter (it's in the pantry so I don't tidy it every day). The video shows all the features that make it great for people who have arthritis or have had a stroke.

Excellent burr grinder

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020

Size: 19 Grind SettingVerified Purchase

My twice as expensive former burr grinder died after a year after a year of weekly use so I decided to investigate lesser known, and less costly products and found this Sboly and decided to give it a try - best decision ever! The Sboly is sooooo easy to operate and clean. Just turn the dial to your preferred grind; operation is quiet and quick and best of all, the (yes, plastic) container has a cover so when you tip the grinds into your coffee pot they do not fly all over the place. Nothing like that dreaded static electricity to scatter your expensive grinds all over the kitchen. And clean up is a breeze - a simple turn and the burr is out for cleaning and then brush all around and voila, done. Most importantly, my coffee tastes more delicious than ever and I use both a French Press and Melitta.
