How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Steady batches for automatic drip”, “Timed doses you can repeat”, and “A hopper for drinks you make every day”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedA grinder counts here only if it publishes its burr diameter as a number. Diameter matters no more than burr geometry and alignment do. The median draws on the 28 of 39 models that publish comparable figures.
