- Measures 22.6 x 11.4 x 11 cm

- The inside of the grinder is made from good quality stainless steel so no need to worry about the taste of plastic

Our Verdict on the Shardor Coffee Grinder
The Shardor coffee grinder is a blade grinder, and overall online buyers have rated this highly. This is not a high end grinder and so it lacks a lot of features.
As a basic grinder though it clearly works really well. All of that is reflected in the price point, so in other words, you get what you pay for.
Many buyers also bought this to grind nuts and spices, and many of those are much harder than coffee beans. Those that are harder such as cinnamon sticks will take longer to grind, so be aware of that.
