Grinders

Grinders are essential if you want the full benefits of your investment in fine coffee. To order ground coffee instead of whole bean, regardless of how it is packaged, is to order a distant second best product. The fine aromatics you are paying for are lost, period.
There are two types of grinders: blade or burr.

Blade grinders are far cheaper but they rip into the beans to create a fairly uneven grind. Perhaps worse is that the grind depends on how long you keep the blade rotating. So you get variable results. These are nevertheless a vast improvement over no grinder at all. These grinders are available in many retail outlets, including grocery stores.

Burr grinders are far more expensive but well worth it. They are easy to use, are more accurate and produce the same results over and over. Scoop in the proper amount of coffee, turn the grinder on and walk away while it takes care of the rest. Come back to it when you are ready! What you ground is what you brew - no mess.

Virtuoso Grinder

The sleek Virtuoso, made by the folks at Baratza, and dramatically improved.

This is by far the best coffee grinder in its price range that we know of. It is easy to clean, quiet and has a powerful motor and uses slow spinning conical burrs that prevent the coffee from heating. The result is a very uniform grind in a narrow range of size, producing a very sweet, balanced extraction. It is solidly built, and makes a great gift!

Please note: The Virtuoso is not an espresso grinder! We suggest the Vario model for a terrific espresso grinder.

Dark roasts have the a tendency to clump in the Virtuoso due to the oil residual that occurs in roasting. Extra cleaning of the grinder is urged when grinding dark roasts.
