Buy A Coffee Grinder

If you thought that all coffee grinders were the same then you're in for a big surprise. There is a huge range of brands and price ranges from which to choose. Your choice of coffee grinder can be just as important as the machine itself in the quest for that perfect cup of joe.


Instructions








1. Decide on your budget. Grinders can cost anything from 20 dollars to thousands for a high profile designer model. By deciding how much you can afford to spend will limit the choices and narrow your search parameters.


2. Buy your grinder at the same time as your coffee machine. Same brand appliances are designed to work together and it will make it easier to determine the correct size and matching style if required.


3. Choose between a burr grinder and a blade grinder. Burr grinders have different settings to determine the particle size but blade grinders are a more cost effective way of doing the same job.








4. Calculate how much coffee you make on a regular basis. High-speed grinders are good for small quantities but can clog with larger amounts. Experts recommend a low speed gear reduction grinder for bigger quantities. If you are buying for professional use then low-speed direct drive grinders are a good choice as they can work continuously without clogging.


5. Read product reviews that can be found online (see resources) or in consumer guides and magazines. Other people's experiences can be the best way to prevent making mistakes. Find similar reviews by several different people before following recommendations.
