Cordless. See-through. Charged off a phone block or power bank. The Tempo is the grinder that fits in a drawer, runs on a charge, and turns whole beans into fresh grounds without a cord in sight.
The Tempo USB Grinder is a rechargeable electric burr grinder with a ceramic conical burr, USB-C charging, and a built-in 1,200 mAh battery that holds up to a week of daily grinding on a single 3-hour charge. Compact cylinder shape, 7.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, it grinds up to 0.9 oz (25 g) of beans at a time · enough for three to five cups of drip coffee.

Specifications
Care & maintenance
The burr, hopper and chamber lift out for cleaning, so the Tempo wipes down in seconds and the ceramic burr lasts for years.
- Rinse the washable parts: The catch jar, hopper and ceramic burr pop out and rinse clean under the tap. The ceramic burr never rusts, so a quick wash keeps oils from building up.
- No water on the motor: Wipe the plastic top section with a damp cloth, but never submerge it. The motor housing is the one part that stays dry.
- Charge every few weeks: Even if unused, the battery holds longer when cycled occasionally. Plug in overnight, unplug in the morning.
- Store open: Leave the lid off when not in use so trapped moisture evaporates. Closed lids trap humidity and turn old grounds into mold.
Frequently asked
What grind does it produce?
An even, consistent medium grind that suits drip machines, pour-over cones and AeroPress beautifully. The ceramic burr crushes beans uniformly instead of chopping them like a blade grinder, so your cup tastes cleaner.
How long does a charge last?
The built-in 1,200 mAh battery charges fully in about 3 hours over USB-C and holds up to a week of daily grinding. Top it up off a phone charger or power bank · no base, no cord on the counter.
How much can it grind at once?
Up to 0.9 oz (25 g) of beans per grind, enough for three to five cups. It stops on its own once the beans run out, so you never grind an empty chamber.
Why ceramic burrs instead of steel?
Ceramic stays cooler during grinding, so heat does not cook the coffee oils. It is also quieter than a blade grinder and will never rust.
Can I use it while it charges?
It is built to run on battery power, so the design is simple by intent: charge it up, then grind cord-free anywhere · kitchen, desk, suitcase or campsite.
