Get the most out of your roast by grinding your coffee beans at home and unlocking richer, stronger flavors. Coffee must be ground before it can be brewed. You can always buy coffee that is pre-ground, but once coffee beans are ground and they are exposed to oxygen, they begin to lose their aroma and essential oils, which can diminish the flavor of your brew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure you are getting the freshest most flavourful coffee possible it’s a great idea to grind your own coffee beans at home. Grinding your own coffee is also a great way to begin experimenting with flavors and blending them. For this, you will need a grinder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know about grinders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can buy coffee grinders in most appliance and department stores but not all of them provide excellent performance. Below is a list of factors to consider when choosing a good coffee grinder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee beans can be ground in two ways. One is through the use of a blade coffee grinder. This method is somewhat similar to using a food processor that actually smashes, cuts, and bashes the beans into bits using fast-spinning blades. Although blade grinders are cheaper, they have a habit of creating inconsistently sized grounds, which can clog machines. It’s not a great way to get the best from your beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can use a burr coffee grinder that\u00a0grinds beans between two abrasive plates and filters the grounds to provide a consistent, uniform blend. This helps avoid clogging problems and allows for more grinding flexibility, which is why this grinder is commonly used by professional baristas. Although this model is more expensive, there’s no question,\u00a0that most coffee connoisseurs will tell you that burr grinders are superior.

These grinders come in two types, automatic, and manual, the latter must be ground by hand.
