I mainly want to get a coffee grinder because beans have a longer shelf life and are cheaper. If I also get better coffee, that’s a bonus! (Basically, I’m not looking for a premium option)
What is something I should pay attention to when buying a grinder. I see people mention “flat burr” grinders all the time. Is that something important?
A few years ago I bought a cheap terrible manual coffee grinder off Amazon. It took 5-10mins to grind my coffee. The grounds where too course and my hands hurt. Is the experience better with higher quality manual grinders? At the moment, I’m not a huge fan of manual grinders because of this experience and am leaning towards buying an electrical one.
What makes a coffee grinder better than others? What is the difference between premium and budget options?
Huh. As a counterpoint, I have a Baratza Encore and have encountered none of the cleaning issues outside of the machine that you mention.
Maybe it’s literally where the machine sits or whether one of you walks barefoot or something equally trivial. You guys could be doing the same things but one of you manages to discharge the static electricity while the other doesn’t.
