We have already figured out how to choose manual and rotary coffee grinders. Among other things, in the first article I told you how all three types of coffee grinders differ and helped you determine what type of coffee grinder you need - manual, rotary (blade) or burr.
But, since you are reading this article, then you need a burr coffee grinder. Let's take a look at what burr grinders are like.
| Coffee grinder Vitek VT-1548, price 2,515 rubles | Coffee grinder Delonghi KG 89, price 6,990 rubles | Coffee grinder KitchenAid 5KCG100EER, price 14,458 rubles |
Good coffee grinders are produced by companies known to all coffee lovers: Delonghi, Krups, Bork, Gaggi. The cost of burr coffee grinders starts from 810 rubles and ends at 12 thousand rubles (professional coffee grinders for bars cost up to 90 thousand!) But in terms of price, you should focus on coffee grinders from 2000 rubles. Although by chance I found a good coffee grinder a little cheaper, for 2,000 - 2,500 rubles - Zauber Z-490. But such a find is rare.
Millstone coffee grinders work on the principle of a mill - the grain, falling between the millstones, is crushed and ground into small particles. By the way, manual coffee grinders work exactly the same. With one difference - they do not have an engine.
