Description
After extensive testing, we found the hopper’s grinding range indicator particularly useful.
It’s brilliantly simple to use – just position the dial near the middle of your chosen brewing method’s range and fine-tune from there based on your taste preferences.

Speaking of the guarantee, we were genuinely impressed by the 5-year warranty, especially considering the budget-friendly price point.
During our testing, we noticed that grind consistency performs admirably in the fine to medium ranges. However, when pushing towards coarser settings, the particle uniformity becomes less reliable. This makes us hesitant to recommend it as your primary grinder for cafetiere or large-batch pour-over brewing.
One minor issue we encountered was static in the grounds container. A simple solution we’ve found is using the RDT method – just a tiny spritz of water on your beans before grinding. But here’s an important tip from our experience: don’t overdo the water. We’ve seen many users make this mistake, leading to unwanted moisture and increased grounds retention. A microscopic amount of water is all you need.
We should address a common concern: some online discussions mention these grinders arriving with 2-pin EU plugs. From our experience with UK suppliers, you’ll receive a proper 3-pin UK plug. Just ensure you’re purchasing from a reputable UK retailer rather than grey market importers.
In conclusion, our testing confirms that the Wilfa Svart deserves serious consideration if you’re searching for a reliable, user-friendly grinder. It particularly shines with moka pot, Aeropress, and pour-over brewing methods
