This model from Baratza has a few things going for it, including a nice set of conical burrs, as well as an extremely high-quality motor.

It is also designed ergonomically that makes it comfortable to use and hold. It is also very quiet, so it's possible to grind coffee without disturbing anyone else in the home.
Make sure your grinder is clear of coffee beans before you begin cleaning it. It's also a good idea to run through a vacuum or wipe it clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove any residue from the interior. Be careful not to touch the burrs! They are sharp and should you slip, you may cut your fingers.
Powerful
A quality mini electric coffee grinder is powerful enough to grind beans fine enough for espresso and coarse enough for drips and pour over. It's also compact, so it can be tucked away in your kitchen cabinets while having room for other appliances. The top ones also keep an even grind. They operate more quietly than blade grinders and they produce less heat. This is due to the fact that they do not cut up the beans while they spin, as a blade grinder would. The major drawback of a blade-style grinder is that it could result in huge variations in the size of the ground coffee that can lead to a cup that is inconsistent.
On the other side, a burr grinder can produce uniformly-sized grounds that are uniformly sized. It is operated by spinning flat burrs, which rotate to crush and break down the bean. This can be done at a slower speed than a blade grinder and the result is more even, consistent grounds that won't block your French press.
Many of the best mini electric coffee grinders use stainless steel sets of burrs. These are more durable and last longer than ceramic sets. They also produce more uniform grinds than blades, which means you can be sure of getting the same results for each batch of coffee you prepare.
The volume of noise produced by burr grinders can be a problem for some however, it is contingent on the speed you grind and the power of the motor. In most cases the noise won't be enough to disturb your family, but it might bother some people.

Compact
If you're a coffee enthusiast who's short in space, there's plenty of compact electric grinder options. However, not all are able to provide a consistent grind at an affordable price. This is where the Baratza Encore ESP comes in. This model is one of the most well-known and affordable on the market, yet it packs in a lot of features that we've come expect from top-of-the-line grinders.
It's light, compact and simple to use. The removable hopper can hold up to 24 grams, which is about two cups of beans. It's also designed to make cleaning simple. The stainless steel chamber can be removed and then placed in the dishwasher.

Setting 8-12, which is easily adjusted by twisting the top hopper the hopper, produced grounds that were very similar to espresso. It's great for pour-overs, or other methods that require the use of a coarser grind. The dosing cup, which is convenient, can be used to transfer coffee ground directly into either the standard portafilter 54mm or a professional 58mm one.

The Baratza Encore ESP does have some disadvantages, however. It's not a speedy grinder. It takes about 20 minutes to grind about one cup of beans, which can be frustrating if you're in a rush. It doesn't have either timer or digital readout, making it difficult to gauge how much you are grinding.
Its most significant flaw is the stainless steel burrs. They tend to break more quickly than ceramic burrs. This isn't a huge problem for most people, since they don't grind a plethora of cups every morning. However, if you're planning to use your grinder for commercial uses it might be worthwhile to consider a more expensive alternative like ceramic burrs which are less susceptible to chipping and will remain sharp for longer.
