Burr Coffee Grinders Buying Guide
A burr coffee grinder is a machine with two revolving pieces of burred metal (either flat or cone-shaped) on top of one another, spinning, ripping and crushing the beans, without burning the beans. These coffee grinders are either wheel or conical in variety, with most coffee lovers preferring the quieter, aroma-preserving and less-likely-to-clog conical grinders.
The
Wheel-Based or Disk-Type Coffee Grinder, being less expensive, grind at a fast speed and tend to be noisy. They create far more consistent grinds well-suited to most home espresso machines. They are great for oilier types of coffee beans and flavored coffees or they block less than any other model of coffee grinder.
The quieter and less messy Conical Burr Coffee Grinder grinds your coffee beans down to a very fine and consistent powder without getting high speed, and work at about 500rpm as opposed to the 10-20,000 rpm of a wheel grinder, making it ideal for the extra fine needs of Turkish coffee. They do their job in much better way, without heating the grounds, keeping the aroma intact, and resulting in a product suitable for a wide array of coffee-making equipment, such as espresso, drip, percolators and even French press.
