coffee grinder

A Coffee grinder takes roasted coffee beans and turns them into a specific grind that is best for the coffee type coffee machine used to make the end coffee beverage. Coffee grinders come in two main types, the blade grinders and the burr grinders.

Coffee grinders range from the old manual coffee mill to high tech electric grinders that have custom settings and do all the work and all the thinking for you.

A bladed grinder has a rotating blade. The fineness of the grind is determined by the length of the grinding time. More time equals a finer coffee grind. These are the typical low cost electric grinder found in most stores.

A burr grinder uses a grinding wheel, and the wheel itself determines the coarseness or fineness of the coffee grind. There are flat grinders, like old flour mills used, but the better ones use a cone shaped grinder that is less prone to get clogged in the grinding process.
