Tuni G2 grinder?

I do not have experience with this one, but it looks like it's priced at about the level of the Baratza Encore, which I can recommend after several years of daily use. I would be hesitant about the touch screen. That seems like a failure point and doesn't really add much benefit to the machine, but maybe I'm jaded from the horrible appliance touchscreens I've encountered.

I’m not familiar with the company. I can’t find any unbiased reviews or details on it from anyone I’d consider reliable. Their website isn’t very forthcoming. I did watch about half a review from a random YouTube channel, but in some form that video’s an ad. I see it’s listed on Wayfair and Walmart before any “real” coffee gear website.

I’m assuming this is a grinder engineered in China to target people trying to get into high end coffee. I think it’s impossible, given its feature set and price, that this grinder effectively can produce a “good” espresso grind.

That said, it might be a solid grinder, within its limits. I’m always wary of companies that overpromise, but modern Chinese manufacturing is incredible. It has good features for under $100. The screen worries me, too.

Any other recommendation depends on your espresso setup. If you’re using a pressurized portafilter, you don’t need to worry as much about espresso grind and your options open up. If you liked the results from your Cuisinart (which model did you have?) Bodum and OXO make burr grinders that I think do really nicely for most people and would possibly be an upgrade. A Baratza Encore would almost certainly be the full step up. The Encore ESP or a Fellow Opus might be too far a step up; they show their utility when paired with solid espresso machines.

Similar to the other commenter, I’d be wary of any grinder with more features than it strictly needs (i.e. that screen) as it’s just something else that could break. With that being said, it seems like a decent grinder from what I quickly found online.

For other suggestions, Barazza Encore (or Encore ESP for a bit more money) is the standard suggestion in this price point. Or you could look at manual grinders which will have better performance for the same or cheaper price since you’re not having to pay for a motor, and if you don’t want to manually grind most are able to be used with a drill. Just something to consider as well.

It seems like it'll give you what you want at an ok price. I wouldn't pay $150 new but$100 seems reasonable. You're rolling the dice on longevity and repairability though, maybe check if there are options to do that.

I had an Baratza encore that I had for a year and then upgraded the burrs. Then I wanted a second grinder for pour over and got a used encore for $45, but needed to replace a $5 part. I know that either can be easily and cheaply repaired.

You could do better but you could do worse. If you get it, do you mind sharing your thoughts on it?

I have a Mr. Coffee burr grinder. It costs about $50.00 and has worked greatly in the 7 years that I have owned it.

Can it also cook coffee?
