Pros & cons
Pros
- Stepless grind adjustment lets you dial in the exact coarseness for filter, AeroPress or pour-over
- Compact footprint slips onto smaller worktops without crowding the kettle
- 160 W burr motor grinds consistently for everyday brewing
Cons
- Less optimised for espresso-fine precision than the Encore ESP
Skip it if
Skip it if espresso is your main brew; it is tuned for filter, AeroPress and pour-over, and the Encore ESP grinds finer for espresso.
How we assessed it
We synthesized this
The Calibra's stepless grind adjustment is its quiet strength. Instead of fixed clicks, you can nudge the coarseness to exactly where your brew wants it, which matters most for filter, AeroPress and pour-over. Its 160 W burr motor grinds consistently, and the compact black-and-stainless body slips onto a smaller worktop without crowding the kettle. We recommend it for filter-focused drinkers who want repeatable grounds and a tidy footprint rather than a bulky machine.
The honest trade-off: it is tuned for the coarser end, so if espresso is your daily ritual you will want a grinder built for fine, precise dosing — the Encore ESP grinds finer for that. Our assessment synthesises Melitta's documented specs against the needs of filter brewing rather than a hands-on grind test — see how we test.
