Grinders
Quite often the importance of a good coffee grinder is underestimated. This is a misconception, because the grind of a coffee forms the basis of its taste. But how to select a grinder and what grinding techniques are hidden beneath the machine’s designer shell?
In a good grinder the heat created by the grinding process does not transfer to the coffee. A good grinder is fast, quiet and produces an even grind. The device will distribute lump-free coffee evenly over the portafilter. Make sure to grind the coffee shortly before use, as the aroma of ground coffee deteriorates extremely fast. The grinding degree should be gradually adjustable. And last but not least: the machine should be affordable. A lot of demands! But Specialtycoffee.nl did its homework and found the best grinders with price tags ranging from economic to high-end.
