Philly Food Guide

Nine of these ten burr grinders dose by the cup. One says what a cup is: about 5 oz. An 8-cup French press holds 34 oz, or 6.8 of those cups.

Five ceramic-burr hand grinders here rate 4.2 to 4.4. Five steel-burr ones rate 4.4 to 4.7 on fewer reviews, and only steel listings publish hardness.

Four of these ten grinders print a retention weight, from under 0.1 g to 0.2 g. On these listings, “zero retention” means under a tenth of a gram.

Ten budget grinders print 30 to 70 grind settings. Nine never say how far apart those settings are; one gives 0.02mm, and it calls itself stepless.

Eight grinders here list 30 to 60 settings; only Baratza says how many are for espresso, 20 of 40. The 4.9-star pick, on 26 ratings, is built for filter.

Eight of these toaster ovens stop at 450°F and one never says. The real spec is the pizza each fits: 9 to 13 inches, over twice the area.

Ten ovens sell a pizza that turns itself. Not one states a speed, and the only one with deep data (20,803 ratings) is a countertop plate.

Top ratings here run from 66 lb to 440 lb, and the heaviest tabletop oven in our guides lists about 60 lb. Top size, wheels and honest sums decide.

Oak shows up in six of the ten listings, and bags run from 2 lb to 20 lb. Only one big BBQ bag names pizza ovens on its listing.

Four kits here bundle 4 to 7 pieces and none reads the stone. The #1-selling infrared gun stops at 842°F; a budget one reads to 1022°F.

None of these ten grill stone listings names a gas, pellet or kamado grill or mentions direct flame. Two give a clearance; three mention shock.

A grill-top pizza oven makes no heat. Seven of these ten publish no maximum temperature, so fit, stone and thermometer decide which one to buy.

Four cart-style wood ovens here weigh 51 to 77 lb and state 550 to 662°F. A 26.5 lb tabletop Ooni states 950°F. The smaller box burns hotter.
