And what do you know about coffee grinder?

Classification

The design of the rotor or blade grinders

All the family of grinders can be divided into rotary and Burr. Professional barista will never take the hands of a rotary grinder. Why?

The thing is that these designs do not allow to achieve the correct grind beans for espresso. Aromatic oils are released only when a single coffee particle size and the presence of complex grating structure.

The rotary coffee grinder grain is crushed in any form into unequal parts. However, such an initial "material" is ideal if you follower long brewing methods using a geyser or drip coffeemakers.

Apparatus attritor grinder

Burr ensure proper grinder freeness espresso, creating the maximum area of ​​the particle surface.

We often hear that coffee, crushed at the mill coffee grinder, bitter when brewed. If you got a drink once, you will experience a nuisance. And if the time? The reason lies in istupivshihsya millstones. Result - poor quality grinding, the coffee beans have a different resolution.

	Rule 1. Power. This index may vary within 80-1300 Watts. It depends on the power of speed. At low speeds crushed grain espresso, but high speed (1000 rev / min) was heated grain, which causes a change in the taste of the beverage. If you plan to use the methods of long-term extraction, purchase powerful rotary grinder.
	Rule 2. Bowl. The device grinder uncomplicated - a body that hides the engine, the millstones or rotary knives. Burr models are equipped with two tanks: the bean and ground coffee; rotary - only for grains.

In the case of bowls grinders rule "The more the better" does not apply. I would not recommend you purchase a large amount of models, if you do not plan to cook a few cups of coffee.

The thing is that every espresso - fresh grinding is necessary. It is worth paying attention to the fact that coffee refers to a perishable product, so to prevent oxidation and acquiring an unpleasant rancid odor, do not leave the ground coffee in the cup grinder.

Transparent bowls are remarkable in that they allow to monitor the grinding process

Some models are equipped with grinders grind adjustment of volume and dosing. In such "smart" devaysakh can be set to "One cup" (7 grams), in addition, they are able to measure the number of cups, for which enough already milled coffee.
