I mainly want to get a coffee grinder because beans have a longer shelf life and are cheaper. If I also get better coffee, that’s a bonus! (Basically, I’m not looking for a premium option)
What is something I should pay attention to when buying a grinder. I see people mention “flat burr” grinders all the time. Is that something important?
A few years ago I bought a cheap terrible manual coffee grinder off Amazon. It took 5-10mins to grind my coffee. The grounds where too course and my hands hurt. Is the experience better with higher quality manual grinders? At the moment, I’m not a huge fan of manual grinders because of this experience and am leaning towards buying an electrical one.
What makes a coffee grinder better than others? What is the difference between premium and budget options?
Nice recommendations! I will keep that in mind. I dont want to mention a budget because this post isn’t supposed to be a “Pick a grinder for me post”. I’m just trying to understand what separates good grinders from bad grinders, so I can make an informed decision myself. The recommendations are still appreciated tho because it gives me a good idea of what brands are good.
