Café de Colombia - DIFFERENT GRINDS (#)

  „Coffee bean grinders come in two styles: 1) The blade grinder 2) The burr grinder Although more expensive, burr grinders are preferred, since the rough metal plates flake the beans apart, avoiding any undesired heating and burning of the bean granules. Blade grinders need to be manually regulated as they have no grind settings.

CoffeeKid - The Gaggia Years

  „My espresso shots weren't as good as the ones Carlos did but damned good enough. The next thing I did was buy myself a little Melitta burr grinder and I continued to buy beans from Carlos. For the next year or two, I was enjoying quality espresso at home. My frothing technique needed a bit of work, but that came with time as well.“

How To Brew Coffee - National Coffee Association

  „If you purchase whole bean coffee, always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible.  A burr or mill grinder is preferable because all of the coffee is ground to a consistent size.  A blade grinder is less preferable because some coffee will be ground more finely than the rest.  If you normally grind your coffee at home with a blade grinder, try having it ground at the store with a burr grinder. You may be surprised at the difference!“

  „In addition to grinding too much coffee for a given cup setting, I had a significant issue with beans getting stuck in the hopper and not continuing to feed into the grinder. I had to repeatedly shake or smack the machine to get the beans to flow again. It went back to the store 2 days later ;-/--This text refers tothe Black option.“

Grind Your Own Beans (INeedCoffee.com)

  „I scanned the Web and found that there is a superior type of grinder called a "burr" grinder. Burr grinders are better than the spinning blade grinders because the bean goes through the grinder only one time. The beans are loaded into one compartment, proceed through a blade mechanism, and the grounds are then dispersed into a second compartment. This produces a more even grind.“
