Burr grinder Smeg CGF11RDEU Red

The Smeg 50's Style Coffee Grinder CGF11RDEU Red is a compact conical burr grinder designed for consistent and even coffee grinding at home. It accepts up to 350 g of coffee beans and is powered by a 150 W motor operating at 220–240 V. The stainless steel conical burrs and 30-step grind adjustment let you choose fine, medium or coarse textures to suit espresso machines, filter brewers, moka pots or French press extraction methods. The unit combines retro-inspired red styling with a transparent bean hopper and a footprint of 150 mm x 220 mm, making it suitable for kitchens where space and design matter.

Advantages

The conical stainless steel burrs provide uniform particle size distribution to preserve aroma and flavour while limiting overheating. A 30-step grind selector covers a wide range of grind sizes (including Fine, Medium and Coarse), enabling precise control for different brew methods. Automatic stop functionality dispenses the selected amount of ground coffee and prevents over-grinding. The transparent bean hopper lets you monitor bean level, and the compact weight of 3.1 kg makes the grinder stable yet easy to position on a countertop.

• Espresso machines requiring fine, consistent grinds

How to use

Fill the transparent hopper with up to 350 g of coffee beans, select the desired grind size on the 30-step selector (choose Fine for espresso, Medium for drip or pour-over, Coarse for French press), and set the quantity if your model has portion control. Start the grinder; it will stop automatically when the selected amount is ground. For the best flavour, grind beans immediately before brewing and adjust the grind setting incrementally until the extraction time and taste match your brewing method.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted whole beans and adjust the 30-step grind setting according to your brewing device and taste preferences. Clean the grinder regularly following the manufacturer's instructions to remove oils and residues from the burrs, and avoid grinding non-coffee items. Place the grinder on a stable, level surface and ensure the hopper is correctly seated before operation.
