Best Grinders Under $100
The best grinders under $100, ranked by our review scores. The band where build quality starts to separate the field, and where most people buying their first serious piece land.
How this list is ordered
Ranked by arithmetic, not opinion. Every score is worked out from the specifications each maker publishes, so you can open the working on any product page. Anything commercial is labelled and sits outside that order, and how we score explains what each criterion measures.
