Why a good coffee grinder is essential for real coffee taste
The taste of coffee is largely determined by how freshly the beans are ground. Pre-packaged ground coffee quickly loses its aromas. With its owncoffee beansmill, you retain maximum freshness, and you can also determine the grind size yourself: coarse for a French Press, medium forfilter coffee, or fine for espresso. This way you always get the best out of yourspecialty coffee.
Which type of coffee grinder is right for you?
There are different types of coffee grinders, each with their own advantages. Which one you choose depends on your brewing method, ease of use and taste preference.
Manual coffee grinder
A manual coffee grinder is ideal for those who love the artisanal ritual of brewing coffee. They are compact, quiet and perfect for on the go or if you want to grind with precision for your Hario V60, Chemex or AeroPress for example.
Electric coffee grinder
For those who make coffee every morning, an electric coffee grinder is a godsend. Fast, consistent and easy to use. Ideal for filter coffee, but also for those who want to make espresso with aespresso machine.
Conical vs. flat burrs
Conical burrs are quieter and produce less heat, which helps preserve the flavors of the coffee bean. Flat burrs provide an extremely consistent grind, especially important for espresso.
Blades vs. Grinding Discs
A blade grinder chops the beans unevenly and can burn them due to friction. A burr grinder grinds in a controlled and consistent manner, which ensures better extraction and therefore better taste. That is why we always recommend a burr grinder.
Coffee grinder for espresso, filter coffee or French Press?
Not every coffee grinder is suitable for every brewing method. Espresso requires a very fine and consistent grind, which requires a precise, adjustable coffee grinder. For filter coffee, you can grind a little coarser, and for French Press or percolator, you choose an even coarser grind. At Koffie Kenner you will find coffee grinders with infinitely adjustable grind settings, so you always have the right setting at hand.
What should you pay attention to when buying a coffee grinder?
When choosing a coffee grinder, pay attention to the following points:
- Grinding settings: can you grind coarse and fine?
- Consistency: does the mill grind evenly for consistent flavor?
- Bean container capacity: suitable for 1 cup or more?
- Build quality: sturdy, durable and easy to maintain
- Ease of use: easy to use, easy to clean
