Burr Grinders

The best method for grinding coffee is the burr grinder. Burr grinders crush the beans between a moving grinding wheel and a non-moving surface. These are the grinders that are used in coffee houses, and they produce a very even grind. There is a range of settings that can be used, so that espresso, French press, drip coffee, and percolators can be used. There are two different types of burr grinders.


Wheel burr grinders are the less expensive of the two burr grinders. The wheel spins very fast, and these grinders can be noisy. The higher speed rotation make these grinders more messy as well.


Conical burr grinders are considered the best and are the most expensive of all coffee grinders. The burr spins slower which means it is quieter and less messy than wheel burr grinders. You can also grind oilier beans and flavored coffee beans without worrying about the grinder clogging.

Blade Grinders


Blade grinders use a metal blade to chop the coffee beans and not so much "grind" them. Therefore you will have uneven particles of coffee to brew and the flavor not reliable. Also, the blades tend to heat up and can give your coffee a burnt flavor. In my opinion, it is worth the extra investment to get a burr grinder although, even blade ground coffee is far superior to canned.

Kitchen Aid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Nickel Pearl

The Kitchen Aid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder grinds whole coffee beans for the best tasting cup you've ever brewed! Whether you re grinding for espresso, drip coffee, French Press or something in-between, 15 different grind settings give you plenty of options. The commercial-quality burrs actually flake coffee instead of crushing it, so you don't lose any of the essential oils that give coffee its full flavor. Turning at just 450 RPMs, this burr grinder also ensures those oils will not burn off due to frictional heat. Special gears control the delivery of beans to the burrs for a better grind consistency, and a plastic seal helps position the coffee bin under the grinding spout to prevent grounds from escaping. Now for the real plus: the Kitchen Aid Pro Line Coffee Grinder has a bean hopper and coffee bin made of GLASS rather than plastic to eliminate static cling. Glass means less cleanup, plus fluffy-looking grounds that won't cling to each other or the grinder. And since the hardy all-metal construction means this baby is built to last, this may be the last grinder you'll ever buy. $300.00

You will need to know how to grind your coffee beans according to what kind of brewing system you are going to use. I still use a regular drip coffee maker, as that suits my needs just fine, but it is still important to know how to make the perfect grind for the perfect cup.

If you are using a percolator, vacuum coffee pot or french press you will need a coarse grind.(Very distinct particles of coffee.)

If you are using flat bottomed filter, drip coffee maker then you will need a medium grind (Gritty, like coarse sand.)

If you are using a cone filter, drip coffee maker you will need a fine grind.(Smoother to the touch, a little finer than granular sugar.)

If you are using a pump or steam espresso machine you will need an extra fine grind.(Finer than sugar, but not quite powdered.)

If you are using an Ibrik you will need a turkish grind.(Powdered, like flour.)

Buy the coffee in bulk as whole beans. Put the beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, and take out only as much as you want to grind and brew immediately. Coffee should not be ground more than 2 minutes before brewing or major staling (oxidation) begins to take place.
