Is this a real burr grinder?

Yes. It uses burr plates rather than blades, which gives a more even grind than a blade grinder.

Can it grind fine enough for espresso?

It has fine settings, but owners report the finest grinds are inconsistent. It works better for drip and French press.

Does it have a timer or scale?

No. You choose a grind setting and run it; dose and grind time are up to you.

The upper burr comes out for cleaning, but static makes grounds cling, so it takes some brushing.

Shoppers who want an even burr grind on a budget and mostly brew drip or French press.

Our take on the Mr. Coffee Automatic Silver Burr Mill Grinder with 18 Custom Grinds

The Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill is a budget burr grinder with 18 grind settings, from fine to coarse. Burr plates give a more even grind than blade grinders, which suits drip, French press and espresso-style brewing. It is a simple hopper-and-dial machine with no scale or timer, so it is easy to use but less precise than pricier burr grinders. Owners like the even grind for the money but report static, mess and durability complaints over time.
