Burr Grinders vs Blade Grinders

Don’t be tempted to purchase an inexpensive blade grinder. Blade grinders smash coffee beans into uneven particles resulting in over extraction and under extraction in the same cup! You get both ends of the spectrum of bad coffee by using a blade grinder.

Why should you use a burr grinder as opposed to a blade grinder?

Burr grinders (as opposed to other grinders) enable you to select your grind size depending on brewing method.

If your coffee is bitter or weak, burr grinders allow you to adjust the size precisely for better extraction.

Rather than smashing the beans, Burr grinders slice the beans into uniform pieces. These grinders avoid bits of coffee dust that would otherwise ruin your coffee.
