Buying advice: coffee grinders

  1. Burr grinders give consistent particle size. Blade grinders are cheap but uneven.
  2. Espresso needs fine, stepless or micro-step adjustment. Drip, pour-over and French press need fewer fine steps.
  3. Both work well. Build quality and alignment matter more than burr shape at most price points.
  4. Some grinders hold grounds inside or spray static. Single-dose designs and a quick spritz of water on beans help.
  5. Hand grinders offer excellent consistency for the price and suit one or two cups a day.
