Take home the Best Coffee Grinder

Which is the best coffee grinder?

People spend countless hours researching which coffee maker to purchase, but only a handful of people understand that they need to bring home a quality coffee grinder, as well, to make the perfectly flavored cup of coffee.

Actually, the way coffee beans are grinded makes a great difference in the flavor of the coffee.

The quality of the grind – from the finely-powdered coffee to coarse particles – too affects the brew-taste.

It has been proven that an oxidation-process sets in within about 2 minutes of grinding the coffee-beans; one should give a serious thought to buying the best coffee grinder for home-use.

Coffee Grinder Types

There are basically two different types of grinders - Blade Grinders and Burr Grinders. As the name suggests, the Blade Grinders have a metal blade to chop the coffee beans. The Burr Grinders, on the other hand, have serrated grinding parts moving against a non-moving surface. Speaking of Burr Grinders, they too are of two types – Wheel Burr and Conical Burr.

Unless price is a concern for you, you should not go for Blade Grinders. You can, at best, manage basic use with the Blade Grinders, since the blade slices/cuts the beans unevenly; as this harms the coffee-quality, I am well set against this coffee grinder.

The Wheel Burrs are a better option to the Blade Grinders; however, not many people will vote for these high-speed grinders as they create a lot of noise and clatter. The Conical Coffee Grinders are a bit pricey; however, these are unanimously declared the best coffee grinders. These devices go about the grinding business without making much noise or mess.

Automatic and manual models of Burr grinders will cost you anywhere between $70 and $400, depending on the sets of features will you go for. Here I give you a list of some very popular Burr coffee grinder models:

The Bunn BCG Electric Burr Grinder’s unique multi-stage grinding system makes it a great favorite with coffee aficionados. One of the best coffee grinders, it will serve you for a long, long time.

The Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill DBM-8 Coffee Grinder grinds some 8 ounces of coffee beans for you. With its 18 grind settings – from the extra coarse to the ultra-fine – it promises you grounded coffee to your requirements.

The Jura / Capresso 560 is a commercial-grade conical steel burr grinder. The 16 grinding-settings and the comparative slow grinding-speed of the electric burr grinder will help you accomplish your grinding-job to your degree of satisfaction. The no-mess, low-sound grinder preserves the flavor of the ground coffee because of the low heat build-up.

The Rancilio ROCKY Doser Electric Burr Grinder is considered by many as the best coffee grinder for home use because of its comparative light-weight.

Most people buy ground coffee but you should never settle for something stale or below-quality. Take home the best coffee grinder your money can buy; grind whole coffee beans just minutes before brewing yourself the best tasting coffee!
