How we picked

This list is the BrewMark grinder finder's ranking for that budget, unchanged. For AeroPress, the finder leaves out grinders built only for espresso, then scores how even the grind is at filter sizes, weighted above how widely each is owned. Price is a filter, not a score: ties go to the cheaper grinder, and shop links never change the order.

The grind-quality and popularity ratings are editorial judgements drawn from makers’ specs and published reviews, listed in each buying guide. BrewMark has not tested these grinders in person.
