How to buy a used coffee grinder

Make sure it is a burr grinder, not a blade grinder. Blade grinders chop beans unevenly, which ruins the brew. Burr grinders (conical or flat) grind consistently. Ask which type it is or check the photos carefully. If the listing shows only a hopper and motor, it is not a grinder.

Check the burrs for wear and damage. Worn or chipped burrs produce uneven grinds. If the burrs look notched or dull in photos, the grind quality will be poor. Ask whether replacement burrs are available. Some brands like Baratza sell affordable replacement burr sets; others are harder to source.

Confirm the motor runs smoothly. Power on the grinder without beans in the hopper (check if the seller has tested this). The motor should spin freely without loud grinding, squeaking, or bogging down. If it grinds loudly or jams, the burrs are likely damaged. Test spinning for a few seconds; listen for grinding or motor noise.

Grind fineness matters by brew method. Hand grinders and entry grinders like the Encore work for pour-over and drip coffee. For espresso, you need a grinder that adjusts fine enough: the Sette 270, DF64, Eureka Mignon, or Niche Zero have fine adjustments. If the seller is vague about grind range, ask directly or compare to your brew method.

Common questions

Which grinder holds its value

Each grinder as a percentage of its launch price. Burr grinders are one of the few things here that genuinely last decades, so a low number usually means the model went out of fashion rather than that it wore out. Burrs are a replaceable service part on most of these. Tap a model to see its listings.

Cheapest by model, at a glance

A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026.

These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.

Flat burrs grind more evenly and cost more; conical burrs are cheaper, quieter and retain less. It is the first thing grinder buyers ask and no other live-price page shows it.

Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.

"Off retail" compares today's used price with what the model costs new. For anything still on sale that is its current new price, so the figure is close to a discount you could really get. For anything no longer sold it is the last new price we have on record: on a boxed product like a LEGO set or a console that is the RRP, and on a part like a graphics card it is nearer what new stock was going for at the end than what it cost at launch. So on older hardware read it as depreciation against late retail rather than against the original sticker. A few rows read "above" instead: they cost more used than new, which is normal for a retired set or a part nobody makes any more.

Over the period we have tracked, this category is down 2.5%, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
