What is a coffee grinder for?
It is quite logical that the coffee grinder will grind whole grains. But many people do not understand the meaning of the additional process before brewing coffee, because there is a huge selection of ground products in stores, and it takes time to prepare it yourself. But the fact is that immediately after grinding, aromatic substances begin to evaporate. And many of them will not be preserved in the package. In any restaurant or cafe, the grains will be ground immediately before preparing the drink - that's the only way it will turn out to be rich and unique.
Types of coffee grinders
Now that you have decided that you need aromatic coffee, you should learn about the types of coffee grinders. They are:
- millstones;
- rotary (knife);
- pseudograins
Each has its own peculiarities that should be considered in more detail.
Millstones
The most expensive and the highest quality models from the point of view of grinding coffee. Visually, such a coffee grinder can be immediately distinguished by the toothed spiral grinders inside. It makes it possible to infinitely adjust the degree of grinding in manual mode, which gives an indisputable advantage for coffee lovers. A finer and more uniform grind is obtained, which is suitable for both a Turkish machine and a coffee maker. Many models allow you to pour freshly ground grains directly into the cone.
Pseudo-millstone
They are called so because of the visual similarity of the insides with real millstones. These are toothed disks, but they do not grind, but split and crush. Therefore, for Turks, grains are not ground in such a coffee grinder. Also, grinding is often uneven and rather large.
Knife
The cheapest and primitive. Designed like a small blender, it is difficult to obtain homogeneous fractions in them.
When choosing a coffee grinder, rely on what kind of coffee you like to drink and how you prepare it: in a steamer or a coffee maker.
