Coffeeness Put the Geimori GU63 to the Test
A new grinder with a 63mm conical burr set sounds good on paper. But what happens when someone actually dials in espresso, makes a V60, and weighs the coffee going in and coming out? Coffeeness tested exactly that.
What stood out
Coffeeness praised the solid build, easy-to-use stepless adjustment, quiet 80 RPM operation, and espresso results. The reviewer also enjoyed the GU63 for drip coffee and French press.
What to know before buying
The bellows felt somewhat flimsy. More fines at pour-over settings may mean less clarity for some light roasts, and a dedicated flat-burr filter grinder might better suit clarity-first brewers.
The retention detail matters: In Coffeeness’s input-versus-output checks, the greatest measured difference was about 0.1g with the bellows. Without using the bellows, the reviewer reported roughly 2g. That is a specific test result, not a promise of zero retention in every kitchen. If you want the nuance, our guide to retention versus exchange explains why matching input and output weights is only part of the story.
Source note: Coffeeness disclosed that Wirsh supplied the review unit. This is our summary of their published findings; the original article contains the full test and the author’s own conclusions.

Watch on YouTube →Interested in the Geimori GU63?
The GU63 is designed for home coffee users who want more control over espresso and filter grinding without immediately moving into a much higher price category.
Its single-dose workflow makes it easier to weigh each dose, change between different coffee beans, and reduce the amount of coffee left inside the grinding chamber.
What the Reviews Examine
Each creator approaches the GU63 differently, but the reviews generally focus on several questions that matter when choosing a home coffee grinder.
Espresso Dialing
Espresso requires small and controlled grind adjustments. Reviewers examine how easily the GU63 can be adjusted while dialing in different beans and espresso recipes.
Grind Quality
The reviews consider how the GU63’s 63mm conical burr platform performs for espresso and filter coffee, including consistency and the character of the resulting cup.
Single-Dose Workflow
A single-dose workflow allows users to weigh and grind one serving at a time, making it easier to change beans or alternate between espresso and filter coffee.
Retention and Cleanliness
Reviewers look at how much ground coffee remains inside the grinder and whether the plasma anti-static system helps reduce loose grounds around the dosing area.
Build and Usability
Adjustment feel, noise, controls, dosing-cup workflow, cleaning, counter footprint, and construction all affect how enjoyable a grinder is to use every day.
Overall Value
Several reviewers consider whether the GU63 offers a competitive combination of burr size, adjustment control, workflow, and build quality at its price.
Geimori GU63 Buyer FAQ
Is the Geimori GU63 suitable for espresso?
Yes. The GU63 is designed with stepless adjustment, allowing users to make small grind-setting changes while dialing in espresso.
Results will also depend on the beans, roast level, dose, espresso machine, basket, extraction recipe, and grinder calibration.
Can the GU63 also grind for pour-over and filter coffee?
The GU63 is designed for both espresso and filter-coffee grinding. Its adjustment range allows users to move from fine espresso settings to coarser settings for pour-over and other brewing methods.
Users who frequently switch between brewing methods may find it helpful to record their preferred dial positions.
What is the difference between the GU63 and GU38?
The GU38 is the more compact and accessible option, suited to users who want a smaller single-dose grinder for everyday espresso and filter coffee.
The GU63 uses a larger 63mm conical burr platform and is intended for users who want a more advanced grinding setup and a stronger focus on controlled low-speed grinding.
What is the difference between the GU63 and GU64?
The GU63 uses conical burrs, while the GU64 uses flat burrs. These different burr formats can produce different grinding characteristics and cup profiles.
The best choice depends on your preferred workflow, brewing style, burr preference, and budget. Coffee results are also influenced by burr geometry, alignment, beans, brewing method, and recipe.
Does the anti-static system completely eliminate coffee grounds and mess?
The plasma anti-static system is designed to reduce static and support a cleaner grinding workflow. It does not guarantee zero static under every condition.
Humidity, bean moisture, roast level, grind setting, and cleaning frequency can all affect static behavior.
Is the GU63 a low-retention grinder?
The GU63 uses a single-dose, low-retention design intended to reduce the amount of coffee left inside the grinding path.
Actual retention varies with beans, grind size, cleaning and bellows use. In a published Coffeeness test, the maximum observed dose difference was about 0.1g with bellows, versus roughly 2g without them. Dose difference is not the same as measuring all internal retention.
Is the GU63 suitable for changing between different coffee beans?
Yes. The single-dose workflow is useful for users who frequently change beans because each serving can be weighed and ground separately instead of being stored in a large hopper.
A small purge or use of the bellows may still be helpful when making a major change in coffee type or grind size.
Are these GU63 reviews independent?
The featured videos are published by third-party creators rather than on the official Wirsh YouTube channel.
However, the relationship may differ between creators. A creator may have purchased the grinder, received a review unit, used affiliate links, or participated in a paid collaboration. Check the disclosure on the original video before evaluating the review.
What did Coffeeness say about the GU63?
Their October 2026 review was positive about build quality, quiet grinding and espresso performance. It also flagged the bellows fit and noted that light-roast filter brewers seeking maximum clarity may prefer a dedicated flat-burr grinder. Read the original Coffeeness test.
