Coffee Mills & Grinders

Burrs vs. Blades

The best type of mill for grinding coffee is made with burrs. Mills for home use have conical burrs that turn, and a stationary conical plate. Commercial mills usually have plate burrs that are fed from a hole in the center, and grind against a stationary plate.

You can adjust the distance between the burr opening to produce your preferred coarseness of grounds. This is important to get consistent results from every brew. Both electric and manual mills will give you similar results; the manual ones take more time and a bit of energy.

Manual mills with conical burrs grind more slowly and thus won't overheat the grounds from the friction. Overheating from continuous milling on fast, electric mills causes the volatile oils to dissipate faster, thus altering the taste of your coffee.

For most automatic drip coffeemakers with paper filters, and for others where there is leeway in the fineness of the required grinds, such as with the French Press, the popular and inexpensive bladed grinders can prove to be adequate. To get a more even grind, shake the unit as it's grinding, so that more of the coarse pieces of beans will come in contact with the blade. Just don't grind it to a powder.

Because it's not too easy to totally clean out the taste of coffee and spices from most coffee mills, we recommend using them only for coffee. For spices, we recommend a small, versatile, easy to clean food processor, or an appropriate pepper or salt mill with ease-of-cleaning features.

 
How Coarse/Fine to Grind

An espresso maker uses very fine grounds, a percolator uses very coarse, and an automatic drip somewhere in between. And they won't work properly, or make good coffee, if the grounds are not the appropriate coarseness.

Get a sample of store-bought ground coffee to help you determine how coarse or fine the coffee beans should be ground for use in your coffeemaker.

Test your coffeemaker to make sure the coarseness is acceptable, and save a sample of the ground coffee for future reference.

 
How to change grind settings of Manual Burr Grinders.

A knurled setting knob, along the main shaft just under the handle, controls the coarseness of the grind. The hopper must be empty before attempting to change the grind setting.

On some models, you may need to first loosen the thumbscrew at the top of the shaft (above the handle) to loosen the locking pin. Turn the setting knob underneath to the desired grind, then tighten the thumbscrew to lock in place.

On models like the Peugeot and Zassenhaus, simply turn the knurled setting knob to gain the desired grind.

Still other models have a steel spring that locks the setting knob, and that must be pulled outward in order to turn the setting knob.
