OXOBrew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder.

OXO’s conical burr grinder runs 15 numbered settings, plus micro settings between them, and Hour Loop’s listing states the range in plain terms: fine for espresso, coarse for French press. Our pour-over guide calls for a medium grind on a V60, and a medium setting sits inside that fine-to-coarse range by definition. On dosing, Espresso Parts’ listing states the built-in scale lets a user grind based on cups or customize a brew by grinding by grams, which lines up directly with our guide’s 15g weighed dose, no separate scale required to hit that number.

Cold brew is a mixed result. Our cold brew guide specifies a grind noticeably coarser than French press, close to breadcrumbs, but neither retailer listing states a setting beyond “coarse for French press.” The stated range simply doesn’t confirm a coarser cold-brew-specific point on the dial. Dosing has a second gap: our cold brew guide’s 1:8 ratio comes to 125g of coffee for a one litre batch, and Hour Loop’s listing states the grounds container “accommodates up to 110 grams (enough for 12 cups).” That’s short of a full single-batch dose, so a full-strength litre means grinding in two passes or catching overflow separately, not one clean grind straight into the brew vessel.

OXO’s own product page, PDF manual, and blog all returned HTTP 403 on every fetch attempt this run, so this dossier leans on retailer listings instead, and they don’t fully agree with each other. Espresso Parts and Scheels both state 5.6 lbs for the unit; Hour Loop states 7.01 lbs, along with a different set of dimensions, for the same model number 8717000. Both figures are reported here as stated rather than blended into one, per this pipeline’s own rule on conflicting specs.

FAQ

Does the built-in scale actually hit our pour-over guide’s 15g dose?

Yes, directly. Espresso Parts’ listing states the grinder can be set to “customize your brew by grinding by grams” rather than only by cup count, which covers our pour-over guide’s 15g weighed dose without needing a separate scale to portion the beans.

Can this grinder produce the coarse grind our cold brew guide calls for?

Partially, and honestly not confirmed at the coarse end. Our cold brew guide wants a grind noticeably coarser than French press. Both retailer listings fetched this run describe the range as running fine for espresso to coarse for French press, with no stated setting beyond that point for cold brew specifically.

Can I grind a full cold brew batch in one pass?

Not at our guide’s ratio. A one litre batch at our cold brew guide’s 1:8 ratio takes 125g of coffee, and Hour Loop’s listing states the grounds container “accommodates up to 110 grams (enough for 12 cups).” Reaching 125g in one grind means overflowing that stated capacity.

How many grind settings does it have, and where does medium fall?

15 numbered settings plus micro settings between them, per Hour Loop’s listing, running fine (labeled for espresso) to coarse (labeled for French press). A medium pour-over grind sits inside that named range, between the two labeled ends.

What’s the warranty, and how big is the bean hopper?

Espresso Parts’ listing states a 2-year warranty and a hopper that “holds up to 12 oz. of coffee beans.” Hour Loop’s listing states the same hopper capacity as “0.75 pounds,” which is the same 12 oz figure stated a different way.
