Grinding Coffee

Burr grinders, on the other hand, grind the beans evenly and are much cleaner and easier to use – especially if you are just learning. Burr grinders have settings that allow you to choose an exact uniform size and consistency. They are often recommended for espresso grinds, but can also be used for other types of grinds as well.

If you are concerned about price, blade grinders are the cheaper of the two and sell for roughly $20 each. On the other hand, burr grinders often cost between $60 to $125. The extra money for the burr grinder would be well spent since you would be getting a better quality cup of coffee and the clean up would be quicker and easier!
