How to Choose the Best Burr Coffee Grinder
A grinder is one of the most essential tools in a home coffee-making arsenal. Which one should you purchase?
Burr grinders grind beans between two serrated surfaces that rotate instead of cutting with blades. They're generally thought to be superior to blade grinders. What characteristics should you look for in the burr mill?
1. Conical Burrs
Like its name suggests, a conical burr crusher has one circular burr ring within another with angled teeth. This shape permits more efficient grinding, as the burrs rotate around the central point. The angled teeth are more efficient in cutting beans evenly, and they produce less heat. This is good because too much heat can cause bitter taste in your coffee. Conical burrs are also more durable than flat burrs. Flat burrs are susceptible to warping and becoming dull quickly, resulting in unevenly ground coffee that is unevenly ground. They also tend to be more brittle, which means that small stones or debris could cause damage to the burrs over time. Additionally, flat burrs generate more noise and require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Many burr grinders that are on the market claim to be "burr grinders," but they have flat burrs or have no burrs at all. These "false" burr grinders feature large, flattened teeth. They are usually paired with weak motors that produce uneven grounds. They are not true burr grinders and, despite what some people believe they don't have the same quality of grind as real burr grinders.
Some experts disagree with this claim, but others believe that the shape and size of the burrs in a coffee grinder can influence the final taste. These theories are mostly based on anecdotes but hold a firm grip on the minds and hearts of coffee drinkers. For instance, some believe that conical burrs help bring out the unique flavors of exotic beans, while flat burrs can mellow and enhance dark roasts.
It could be true, but it is important to consider if you wish for your grinder to have a significant effect on the quality of your coffee. The only way to be sure for certain is to try the grinder using the beans you plan on using it with. The overall design of the niche grinder and its operating features will have a greater impact on the final cup of coffee than the design of burrs. It's important to consider other factors when evaluating the grinder, including its reputation and customer reviews.
2. Convenience
The Baratza Encore is a burr grinder that many coffee enthusiasts swear by. It has been praised by several reviewers as a "time tried and tested product" that offers great value for money, and well-suited for French press, French drip, and cold brew.
The commercial grinder uses rotating metal burrs instead of blades to grind the beans, which produces larger and more evenly-sized beans as compared to a blender or burr grinder, according to the company. The burrs also produce less heat which preserves the bean's aroma and flavor.
Blade grinders, on the other hand they can generate excessive heat and unevenly-sized grinds which can affect the flavor of your final cup. Burr grinders are also quieter than blades grinders. However, this may differ by model and brand.
Although the majority of burr grinders we test feature conical burrs, there are some that have flat burrs (two discs with cutting teeth facing each other). We don't recommend them for espresso as they tend to be more difficult to adjust and are generally less expensive than a high-end, flat-burr burr grinder such as the Fellow Ode Gen 2 or the Baratza Virtuoso+.
A few of the grinders we've tested allow you to set how long the machine will grind for a specific amount of time. This is handy if you're brewing espresso. Some, like our top choice, the Baratza Sette 270--have a built-in smart timer that can deliver split-second precision. This feature isn't necessary for most brewing techniques and the majority of burr grinders that cost less than $200 use a fancy version of the windup clock.
The most affordable models, like the Porlex II or the Capresso infinity, use manual burrs. This means that you have turn them by hand yourself to grind your coffee. This is more laborious but is a great option if you're looking for a simple, compact, and inexpensive option that doesn't need electrical power.
The Breville smart grinder; sk.nfe.go.th, Pro is another option for those who want to save money and uses a burr grinder. It is louder than other models that we have tested, but it's still acceptable if you don’t mind some noise. The quieter a grinder will generally be, the more expensive it will be. This is due to the upgraded materials and the advanced soundproofing techniques.
3. Ease of Use
A burr grinder is a tool that is recommended by every expert for those who are just starting to learn about home coffee making. These grinders create a much finer, more consistent ground than you get from your standard blade grinder, and can allow you to make brews that are better balanced in body, flavor and acidity. They are generally more reliable. But, as you might expect, high-quality burr grinders can cost upward of $200, and are complicated to use.
We sought advice from experts on the most efficient electric burr grinders you can use. They recommend the OXO conical burr grinder to many people and those who don't want to spend a lot of money. It has various settings that can be used to handle different brewing methods such as pour-over, French press to drip coffee, and it did well in our tests.
It's also a bit quieter than other electric grinders we tried, and doesn't create more heat than others do. This is important because too much heat can damage the delicate aromas of your beans.
The OXO grinder's biggest disadvantage is that it's only effective at grinding on the coarse end of the scale which could be a problem for espresso. If you like to brew espressos, a grinder with more advanced features, like the Baratza Encore may be a better option.
Manual burr grinders powered by cranking are simpler to use and are ideal for those who drink just one or two cups of coffee every day. These grinders are perfect for those who travel or only need to make one cup of pour-over coffee.
Bon Appetit Test Kitchen director Chris Morocco loves the Fellow Ode Gen 2 Burr Grinder that has 41 settings that can be easily adjusted and is capable of producing an excellent drink for any method you choose--except espresso (the flat burrs made of steel do not grind fine enough). It's easy for anyone to use, as long as they don't mind the occasional mess or chaff that fly away.
4. Cost
A good burr mill will cost you around a hundred dollars, but it's very worthwhile. The grinding mechanism is simple enough that even a beginner can figure out how to get the most out of it, and you'll save money in the long run by ditching the pre-ground coffee and bad-for-the-environment coffee pods.
Conical burr grinders are the standard in electric home units, and they're a great choice for most people just starting out with this whole grinding-your-own-beans-at-home thing. The grinders produce a tiny amount of fines, which are tiny pieces of coffee ground that are smaller than the size of the official grind you select. However this isn't evident to the majority of coffee drinkers.
Flat burrs are two discs with cutting teeth that are facing each other. They are not as common but are preferred by coffee geeks because they provide a more consistent grind size, perfect for French press and espresso. The drawback is that they are expensive to purchase, and you may need to buy new burrs for every different kind of brew or roast level.
According to our experts, the Baratza offers the best combination of cost and capabilities for a burr mill. It costs less than $200 and is far more affordable than many other models with similar capabilities. It has 64-mm flat burrs which is perfect for any brewing method and is easy to upgrade with other sets like those from SSP.
The OXO is a decent, low-cost option that has a good performance record in our tests. The burrs on this model aren't as precise, as burrs in higher-end models however its user interface and multiple settings work well for both French press and drip. While true coffee geeks would prefer a more sophisticated model but the OXO is a great entry point for most people.
We also tested a couple of manual burr grinders for those who prefer grinding their coffee by hand. They are ideal for traveling and for people who only require two or three cups of coffee at each time. These models, which utilize the same grinding mechanism as electric burr grinders use a crank instead of a motor and are usually more quiet than electric models.
