A good cup of coffee starts with the coffee beans, and coffee beans that aren’t freshly ground simply aren’t going to taste as good as ones that are. It’s science. Freshly grinding your beans won’t turn making coffee into this whole big production—it’s only going to add seconds to your morning routine. So caffeine-dependent people who need coffee pretty much immediately upon waking need not worry. Ready to start brewing smooth, delicious cups of coffee instead of kind-of-bitter-just-okay cups? These are the best coffee grinders to get you started.

This very aesthetically pleasing grinder belongs in the home of someone who has lemon trees growing in their backyard… or for someone who cosplays being that type of person. (It’s me, I’m that person.) It’s available in black, cream, red, pastel blue, and mint (pictured), and it even comes with a little brush to sweep out the machine.
