Every person who has discovered the exquisite taste of natural coffee must purchase a coffee grinder. Only grains ground independently at home will help to fully reveal the taste and aroma of the drink. In stores, consumers are provided with a large selection of models of electric coffee grinders, many of which have additional functions. The invigorating taste of natural coffee attracts many people. You can prepare a delicious drink at home, however, to grind the grains you need to get a special device. The models differ in their operating mechanism, but all allow you to quickly and efficiently grind grains. Many manufacturers equip equipment with additional functions and accessories. A home coffee grinder is used to uniformly crush natural coffee beans. The finished product is suitable for preparing many classic drinks: from cappuccino to espresso.
Which coffee grinder is better to buy for home?
According to coffee connoisseurs, a good coffee grinder requires:
- Grind evenly so that the ground coffee particles are the same size,
- Heat the coffee to a minimum. When the beans are heated during grinding, essential oils are released, which should get into the drink and not remain in the coffee grinder.
- Have the ability to adjust the grinding. Different coffee recipes call for different degrees of grinding, from very fine (for espresso coffee) to coarse (for brewing in a French press).
The most popular are coffee grinders with grinders - knives (rotary) and millstones, in which coffee is ground using steel or ceramic millstones. Choosing a good coffee grinder depends on your preferences.
Coffee grinders can be manual or electric. The first, most budget option, is suitable for those who drink coffee infrequently. The second one is chosen by large families or those who value their time.
Depending on the type of cutting element, coffee grinders can be burr or rotary. The first type is distinguished by more uniform grinding, since the grains are ground using conical or cylindrical disks (millstones).
As a rule, such electric coffee grinders are equipped with various additional functions:
- Automatic adjustment of grinding degree;
- Setting the number of servings;
- Timer;
- Forming ground coffee into “tablets” for coffee machines;
- Removable coffee hopper.
Unlike burr grinders, rotary coffee grinders grind beans using two blades. They cannot boast of ideal grinding uniformity, and the degree of grinding here depends only on how long the user keeps the device turned on. But such devices have a more affordable price and compact dimensions, which means they are quite suitable for making coffee in a drip coffee maker or Turk.
Espresso lovers should pay attention to burr grinders, as they make it easier to adjust the required grind level.
Electric coffee grinders can vary greatly in motor power. The larger it is, the faster the device operates and the greater the load it can withstand. For infrequent home use, up to 200 W is sufficient.
Also important is the capacity of the coffee grinder, that is, how many beans it can grind at a time. On average, 1 serving requires up to 10 g of coffee. However, do not forget that over time, ground grains lose their aroma. Therefore, there is no need to purchase overly capacious mills and make preparations for a month: it is better to grind coffee every day, for a maximum of a week in advance.
Additional functions
- Protection against overheating or foreign objects - if the machine overheats or a stone or piece of branch accidentally gets into it, the operation will stop, which will protect the coffee grinder from damage and the user from drinking a low-quality drink.
- Timer for setting the grinding time of grains - allows you to set the duration of grinding the product.
- Display – it displays all the necessary data about the state of the device.
- Cord winder – makes the electrical device compact and easy to store.
- Double knives – increase the speed of grinding coffee beans several times.
- Sound insulation – ensures quieter operation of the electrical appliance when used in the morning, when all family members are still sleeping.
How to choose a manual coffee grinder for your home
The operating principle of this type of coffee grinder is the same as that of electric millstone models, however, manual devices do not depend on the vagaries of the electrical network. Manual coffee grinders in artistic design will harmoniously fit into the interior of the kitchen, made in any style.
Manual coffee grinder - long but reliable
Millstones can be made of steel, ceramics, cast iron. Cast iron millstones are durable and inexpensive, designed to process up to 500 kg of coffee beans.
The cases are made of wood, metal or ceramics (porcelain). When choosing a model, you should pay attention to the location of the handle. It is easier to use if the handle is on the side than when it is attached to the top.
It takes more time to grind the beans than when using an electric coffee grinder, but the possibility of overheating the coffee and causing an unpleasant aftertaste is eliminated. True coffee connoisseurs prefer only hand grinding.
The best burr coffee grinders
In this case, grinding occurs by rotating the millstones, the distance between which is adjusted using the appropriate screw. They are made of metal and ceramics.

How to choose an electric burr coffee grinder
Electric burr coffee grinders differ from rotary (blade) coffee grinders in their operating principle. Such devices are equipped with a receiving hopper for whole beans and a container for ground coffee. Grains poured into the receiving hopper, under the influence of gravity, fall between the millstones, where they are crushed and ground into powder.
Flat millstones are installed parallel to each other with an adjustable gap. A special notch is applied on the planes in contact with each other. The millstones rotate at high speed and grind the grains until the formation of grains smaller than the distance between the working planes. The ground coffee is poured down into a plastic container.
Conical millstones are two cones with a toothed surface, one of them is inserted inside the other. The outer cone is stationary, while the inner one rotates. The beans move down, and the coffee, ground to a given particle size, ends up in a collection of the finished product.
Models of coffee grinders with conical burrs are much quieter, although slower, than with flat ones, but the possibility of overheating the beans is eliminated. Such models are more expensive, but if you need to grind beans efficiently, it is better to choose a coffee grinder with conical burrs. Precision devices with a micrometric mechanism for adjusting the grinding fineness are especially valued.
The material from which the millstones are made has a great influence on the taste of the drink and the durability of the coffee grinder. There are products in the manufacture of which the following is used:
- stainless hardened steel - millstones made from it last a long time, but are less resistant to abrasion than cast iron. It is not recommended to wash metal millstones with water; they are susceptible to corrosion;
- Hardened steel with titanium coating, millstones made of this material will last longer and are more resistant to abrasion. But models with such millstones are much more expensive than those without coating;
- ceramics is a durable and environmentally friendly material, the resource of which is designed for grinding up to 1000 kg of grains. An alloy of ceramics with corundum is an ideal option; it is very rarely found on sale. The material is not afraid of rust and does not absorb any foreign odors.
Electric burr coffee grinders are more productive and the quality of grinding is higher than that of rotary coffee grinders: you can set a certain particle size of ground coffee, suitable for preparing drinks according to a particular recipe. The presence of a timer, grind fineness regulator and dispenser in the coffee grinder allows you to leave the device turned on and, in the meantime, start servicing the coffee maker. Whereas when a rotary coffee grinder is operating, you need to hold the power button pressed and monitor the degree of grinding.

Semi-professional grinders have larger containers for coffee, so they are actively used not only in public institutions, but also at home.
