Coffee Grinders

Grinding mechanism

Burr grinders

• coffee beans are crushed between two surfaces
• 2 types: flat and conical. Conical grinders have a longer life and are less likely to overheat
• pros: produce very consistent grounds
• cons: difficult operation and maintenance

Blade grinders

• coffee beans are chopped using blades
• pros: long life, easy maintenance, versatile usage (e.g. can also grind nuts & spices), cheaper
• cons: uneven grounds

Additional functions

• Adjustable coarseness
• Adjustable amount of grounds (according to the number of cups of coffee)
