Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)

  „It never demands a cleaning, though anoccasional going-over with a dry toothbrush keeps the grinduniform. Like any burr grinder it needs to be "primed" with coffeeparticles part-filling the burrs before the grind settles down. Thereis no calibration on the grind selection dial; using a Zassenhaus islike trying to play a violin in tune. All of the arguments for using aPavoni to make coffee by hand, with continual tactile feedback leadingto a heightened awareness of the process, apply to using this mill.“

Espresso Potential

  „Grinder - A high quality burr grinder is essential for espresso.  A conical burr grinder is preferred to flat burrs since the particle size is more even, they last longer, and the coffee is not heated during the grinding process.  If the burrs become hot the aroma of the coffee will be diminished.  A conical/parallel hybrid blade is considered the best design by many coffee professionals. “

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.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea

  „To reduce particle size variation (though it won't eliminate it), a "burr" style grinder is recommended. While they tend to be more expensive, burr grinders are capable of producing fairly consistent grinds ranging from espresso to French press. Consistency is due to the fact that all beans ground in a burr grinder must pass through the space between the two grinding discs. This space is adjustable depending on the desired grind setting.“
