Show the facts and the math
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Even, clear filter brews”, “Static control for tidier grounds”, and “Light-roasted coffee with clarity”. 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.
