Burr grinders crush beans to a uniform size between two burrs that are either conical or flat. Each grind setting on this type of grinder sets the burrs a specific width apart, so you get the same consistent grind every time. Because of their unfailing accuracy, burr grinders are recommended for use with any type of coffee brewing system. However, it is important to pay attention to the amount of grind settings a burr grinder has, as some do lack the range to grind everything from French press to Turkish coffee. |

Like their name implies, blade grinders use a single blade that rotates at high speeds to “chop” coffee beans. The fineness of your grinds is solely controlled by how long you allow the blade to spin – the longer the grinder runs, the finer your grinds. Blade grinders are best suited for use with drip coffee makers because they produce a somewhat inconsistent grind that drip coffee filters compensate for. |
