The grinding of beans is a critical moment in the preparation of a cup of true espresso coffee. Ideally, it should be done immediately prior to the brewing of the coffee itself and must be conducted with maximum consistency and precision.
There are two main types of coffee grinder, the blade grinder and burr grinder.
The blade grinder simply uses a rotating blade to chop the coffee beans but results in inconsistent grounds, though this is ideal for filter coffee and cafetiιres.
A burr grinder uses two spinning discs usually with an adjustable grinding mechanism to precisely chop beans to the optimum level i.e. your ground beans will be consistent in size making them ideal for true flavoured espresso.
