coffee grinders : grinders
Whether you’re an espresso drinker or a coffee drinker, grinding your beans fresh is one of the things you can do to help ensure your java tastes great. Grinders come in two basic types: burr grinders and blade grinders. Depending on what you’re going to use your grinder for will depend on which type you should get. Are you using it to grind for espresso or for coffee or both? Do you want to grind very specific amounts, which is where a grinder with a doser really comes in handy, or will you grind a larger amount at one time, which is perfect for a doserless grinder? Whatever you decide your needs are, we have a wide selection in every price range to meet them. To figure out which grinder is best for you why not read our “Coffee Grinder Buying Guide” and “Grinders 101 – A Beginner’s Guide” from our Research Center? And with that, grind on.
Precision is the hands-down advantage of a burr grinder. You can get one of two types of burr grinders: one with flat burrs or one with conical burrs. Both have a stationary burr, with its second burr spinning from the power provided by the motor. The beans fall between the two burrs and are ground that way. These coffee grinders have settings so you can select the exact coarseness or fineness of your grind. They grind consistently and, while more expensive, are highly recommended for espresso - but can be used for other types of grinds as well.
Working with a single blade that looks and spins like a propeller, blade grinders do not have grind settings. The longer you grind, the finer the grind is, so you need to eye-ball it. Blade grinders do an adequate job for drip coffee, but are not recommended for espresso or coffee drinks that require very specific grinds as they do not grind consistently. However, they are extremely cost-effective if you are willing to make the trade off.
