Smeg CGF11 Coffee Grinder
The Smeg CGF11 is a conical burr coffee grinder that sits within the wider Smeg retro appliance range, sharing the same design language as the brand's kettles, toasters, and coffee machines. Stainless steel conical burrs produce a consistent grind from extra fine (espresso, moka pot) through to coarse (French press, drip), adjusted via a side lever. The 350g Tritan Renew hopper is large enough for up to 50 espresso shots and keeps beans accessible without constant refilling. The grinder operates fully automatically and stops when the selected amount has been ground. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers parts and labour. Available in black and white.
Features:
Stainless steel conical burrs: Conical stainless steel burrs produce a consistent grind that preserves the aromatic compounds in the beans, covering the full range from extra fine for espresso through to coarse for French press.
350g Tritan Renew hopper: The large hopper holds 350g of coffee beans, enough for up to 50 espresso shots, and is made from Tritan Renew recycled plastic.
Side lever grind adjustment: A side lever adjusts the grind setting from extra fine to coarse, covering espresso machines, moka pots, French presses, and drip coffee makers.
Fully automatic with auto-stop: The grinder operates fully automatically and stops when the selected quantity has been ground, requiring no manual monitoring.
Iconic Smeg retro design: The CGF11 follows the same retro aesthetic as the wider Smeg kitchen appliance range, available in black or white to complement existing Smeg appliances or stand alone.

Care instructions:
Bean hopper: Remove the hopper to clean and refill. Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Ensure the hopper is completely dry before replacing.
Burrs: Clean the burrs periodically with the appropriate brush (check what is included in the box) to remove compacted grounds and oil build-up. Refer to the instruction manual for the correct removal and cleaning procedure.
Grind container: Empty and wipe the grind container after each use to prevent old grounds from affecting the flavour of fresh grinds.
Exterior: Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the retro finish.
What to avoid: Do not immerse any part of the grinder in water. Do not grind non-coffee items. Do not leave beans in the hopper for extended periods in a warm kitchen, as heat affects freshness.
Questions and answers:
How many grind settings does this have?
The spec sheet lists 3 grind settings, whilst the product description references a side lever adjusting from extra fine to coarse. The instruction manual will clarify the precise number of positions the lever moves through. If the number of settings is a key consideration for your brewing method, this is worth confirming with us before purchasing.
Will this match my other Smeg appliances?
The CGF11 is available in black and white, which are consistent with the most common Smeg kettle and toaster finishes. If you have other Smeg appliances in the kitchen, the same retro silhouette and colour palette make the CGF11 a natural addition to a matched set.
What brewing methods does the grind range cover?
The source data confirms the grind range covers espresso machines, moka pots, French presses, and drip coffee makers, which spans the main domestic brewing methods. The extra fine setting suits espresso and the coarse setting suits French press, with the range in between covering most other methods.
How many espresso shots can it prepare from a full hopper?
At the standard 7g dose per single espresso shot, 350g of beans gives approximately 50 single shots. At a double dose of 14g per shot the hopper holds enough for around 25 doubles. These figures assume the hopper is filled completely and that all beans are ground without replenishment.
