Vevor Conical Burr Grinder Review: Compact, Durable, and Consistent
/by Nicole SauceIf you love a good cup of coffee, having a good coffee grinder is essential. With Holler Roast using a commercial burr grinder, there is rarely an opportunity to test consumer-grade ones. However, the Vevor Conical Burr Grinder was recently tested, and there are several notable features and a useful trick for proper reassembly after cleaning.
Compact and Durable Design
The Vevor Conical Burr Grinder is among the smaller electric grinders available. It doesn’t take up much counter space and feels strong and sturdy. With few moving parts, it is expected to be durable.
User-Friendly Operation
This grinder is easy to use. It features a dial to set how fine or coarse the coffee should be ground and an on/off button that can be pressed halfway to grind and released or fully pressed to toggle on and off.
Why Burrs Are Better
A burr grinder offers consistent grind size compared to a spinning blade grinder, which results in a better coffee extraction. While this may seem like a small detail, it reduces sludgy grounds in the cup, making a noticeable difference.
Simple Cleaning Process
Cleaning the Vevor Conical Burr Grinder is simple. It disassembles quickly and can be cleaned in just two minutes daily, preventing build-up and keeping coffee fresh.
Reassembly Hack
When reassembling the grinder after cleaning, it’s important to do it correctly to avoid it only giving coarse grinds. Once the trick is known, reassembly is easy. Instructions for aligning the outer conical burr can be found in the accompanying video at minute 3:o0.
Affordable and High Value
The Vevor Conical Burr Grinder is priced at $46 and offers excellent value. An additional 5% discount is available with the coupon code VVPROMO. Purchase it here through the provided affiliate link.

Two Fine Men
/by LaniIn November, we honor the memories of combat veterans in several ways: Darkhorse 25 becomes the coffee of the month. We briefly outline the lives and abrupt deaths of members of the 3/5 25: more than two dozen Marines from the Darkhorse Battalion killed within a few short months in Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011. And we report on the status of Darkhorse Lodge in Paris, Tennessee, near Kentucky Lake, the ambitious project to provide a place of rest, recuperation, and retreat for combat veterans. The Lodge receives a $5 donation for every pound of Holler Roast Darkhorse 25 coffee sold.

Seasonal Cause and Effect
/by LaniA single glance at Monsooned Malabar coffee beans tells you they are unique. Before roasting, they are creamy yellow to yellowy cream instead of the usual pale-to-medium green. Their average size is another giveaway: bigger. These Catimor Arabica beans have been painstakingly handled to recreate a 19th-century accident.
