What Are the Advantages of a Burr Coffee Grinder?

The two basic types of coffee grinders are blade or burr. So how do you know which one is right for you? Often times, burr coffee grinders are much more expensive since they are a commercial quality, but they will give you a more thorough coffee grind.

Burr coffee grinders work with either flat or conical burrs, which grind at low RPMs to carefully crush the coffee beans with less heat. The reason that this is so important is because it will prevent heat from burning the fresh coffee grounds and causing a bitter taste in the brew. A burr coffee grinder is a commercial style, which means that it can be used over and over on a daily basis without having to worry about the machine overheating or becoming damaged.

If you are interested in a professional style for your daily coffee grinding, burr coffee grinders are the durable alternative!

The Ultimate Convenience of a Blade Coffee Grinder

If you are not yet freshly grinding your coffee beans, then you are truly missing out on all of the fresh tastes available to you in your Java drinking!

A Blade coffee grinder is ideal for home use because it allows you to freshly grind your coffee beans from fine to medium to coarse, depending on your preference. This is also especially helpful if you are a French Press coffee drinker because it will allow you to control the grind consistency of your beans so that you can freshly brew your French Press coffee to your liking.

Most compact Blade grinders will grind enough coffee to be equivalent to a 12 cup coffee maker. This is perfect for at-home use since most coffee makers average 12 cups. It is best to choose a brand that you can trust in a compact Blade coffee grinder, like Bodum, Krups, or Delonghi. These are professional coffee brands, and the blade grinders use stainless steel blades to thoroughly grind all coffee beans. This is absolutely the only way to enjoy fresh coffee by professionally grinding your beans before you brew!

Starbucks Recalls Faulty Coffee Grinders!

This is probably a nightmare to all of you coffee drinkers out there, but Starbucks had a blade grinder that was being sold in both Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee shops for over seven years that had the issue of turning on by itself. This means that there were a few people that actually reached into clean their grinder and were lacerated when it turned on and cut them with the blades. This is like a bad coffee drinking nightmare where your appliances turn against you, so if you have this type of grinder called the "Barista Blade Grinder", then you can turn it back in to Starbucks to get a new one. Another great tip for all of you grinders of the fine coffee bean is to make sure that you completely unplug your appliances before cleaning them in case there is some kind of glitch where the mechanics of the machine can harm you. Other than that, keep on grinding because that is the best way to enjoy a fresh brew!

Which Coffee Grinder is Best For You?


Please tell me that you are already grinding your coffee beans at home. Whew. Now that we have that settled, we can discuss which coffee grinder is going to give you the best grind for your home coffee brew. So far, the jury seems to be leaning toward conical burr coffee grinders, which are fast moving and fairly quiet compared to the wheel burr grinder. The burr grinder is widely preferred over a blade coffee grinder because they do offer a more thorough and consistent grind, and conical burr grinders are high enough quality that the essential oils from your coffee beans will not clog the machinery. That is my two cents, but regardless of which grinder you choose, it is just wonderful that you are enjoying freshly ground coffee in your own home because that is the way that life should be.
