No matter how you brew your coffee at home, one thing is universally true: freshly ground coffee beans make the richest, best-tasting cup. If you’re still buying the pre-ground stuff out of convenience, you might not realize it only takes a few seconds to upgrade your coffee routine. First, though, you need the right tool, like Mueller Austria’s compact HyperGrind coffee grinder , which is Amazon’s number one bestselling grinder with almost 11,000 reviews and a solid 4.5-star rating. Another perk? Normally $29.99, it’s currently on sale for just $17.97 (yes, that’s 40 percent off).

The beauty of Mueller’s HyperGrind grinder is in its simplicity and size. It’s small enough to tuck away in a cabinet between uses and is incredibly user friendly. Simply add beans to the stainless steel hopper, and place the lid on top. A spring-loaded button in the lid only starts the motor when pressed, so it’s safe for anyone to use.

The grinder’s super-durable stainless steel blades break down beans into a uniform grind, no matter what brewing method you’re using. “No chunks or missed beans!” noted one enthusiastic reviewer. It only takes a few seconds to coarsely grind beans for a French press , and you can hold the lid down longer if you need a finer grind for an Aeropress or Moka pot . With a little practice, you’ll be able to dial-in on your perfect grind. Once grinding is complete, tilt the grinder upside down, shake the fresh grounds into the lid, and pour them directly into the filter or coffee maker.

Overall, the effort it takes to grind your own beans is minimal when you consider how much better your coffee will taste, as confirmed by several reviewers who used glowing terms like “delicious” and “best grinder ever” to describe their purchase. Need another good reason to pick up the HyperGrind? It can be used to make fresh spice blends for cooking and baking, as well as grinding nuts or seeds. Just process a few tablespoons of rice between different batches to remove any residual flavors or aromas. For routine cleaning, it’s as easy as wiping out the hopper with a damp rag or towel.

At less than $18, the Mueller HyperGrind is a small investment that will make a huge difference in the flavor of your coffee. Don’t believe us? We’ll leave you with this review from a customer who once owned an incredibly popular coffee shop in New York City : “This coffee grounder is one of the best I have ever used. Easy, quick, and efficient!”
