Blade Coffee Grinders Buying Guide
A blade grinder makes use of very fast spinning blades (20,000 to 30,000 rpm) to pulverize the coffee beans, working similar to that of crushing ice in a blender. It chops the coffee beans into little bits. These cheap coffee grinders cut up the beans, and their fineness is controlled by deciding the running time of the grinder.
The main downfall about this coffee grinder is that, the resulting coffee grounds become uneven in size, leading to inconsistent brew quality. Another disadvantage is that if fine grinding is desired, then the beans are left in the grinder for a longer period of time, which may give the final coffee a burned taste, due to the heat generated by the blades.
The blade coffee grinders are mainly used for brewing methods that need a coarser grind, such as filter drip, percolator and French press, and also work best for grinding spices and herbs. The grounded coffee from a blade coffee grinder has uneven particles which tend to be warmer, and does affect the aroma. These grinders also create coffee dust, which can clog up the works of espresso machines, or make it harder for filters to do their job.
