3 things to consider when buying a coffee grinder
If you're not looking to grind large quantities of beans and don't mind a slower process, a manual grinder could be a great option for you. They're small, lightweight and easy to store. Plus, they're typically less expensive than electric grinders.
Electric grinders automatically grind your coffee beans for you. There are 2 main types: burr grinders and blade grinders. Burr grinders use flat cones or wheels to grind the beans and tend to produce a more even grind. This can enhance the flavour of your coffee. They also extract more of the oils from the beans, which gives your coffee a richer taste. Blade grinders use blades to slice the beans and are usually less expensive than burr grinders.
Manual grinders are often smaller and have a lower capacity than most electric grinders. Electric grinders come in a range of sizes, so consider how much coffee you typically grind at once. Some electric grinders can hold as little as 30 grams, while others can handle several kilograms.
For the best flavour, you should grind your coffee beans just before brewing. That’s why a grinder with a larger capacity than you need isn't really necessary.
Consider a few key factors:
-
Most grinders offer adjustable grinding levels, but for coffee aficionados, it may be worth looking for a model with more settings to really fine-tune your grind.
-
Think about the type of coffee you want to make. For espresso lovers, go for a grinder specifically designed for espresso brewing. If you prefer regular filter coffee, a standard grinder will do the trick.
-
A timer is another useful feature found on many electric grinders. With a timer, you can set the length of time you want the beans to be ground.
Don't forget to stock up on fresh coffee beans to get the best possible flavour. And if you aim to become the town's best barista, check out this expert guide.
