As any coffee connoisseur will tell you, the only way to greatly improve the taste of your coffee is to invest in a dedicated coffee grinder.
The reason is relatively simple, in that the coffee grounds purchased from your local store are likely to already be past their best, even before you open the packet. This is because the coffee grounds have already been exposed to air and therefore started to oxidize, thereby already ruining the taste of your coffee before you have even started to make it.
The only real viable way to prevent coffee oxidization is to grind your own coffee beans. This will give you the best possible tasting coffee because the outer shell of the bean safely protects the insides from air exposure.
So now we know that using a coffee grinder is the best way of making that perfect cup of coffee, it's just a case of popping down to the nearest dealer and investing in one right? Well unfortunately it's not quite that easy, as with most things in life there are a few different types that we will discuss.
The Blade Grinder:
Probably the cheapest type of coffee grinder you can purchase, the blade grinder basically slices the coffee bean into smaller pieces over-and-over again. However, due to this method the beans will vary in size and therefore will not be suitable for cover lovers looking to making espresso or coffee requiring a uniform grind.
Also, because the blade spins very fast, heat is transferred directly to the bean potentially resulting in the coffee tasting very bitter and destroying the taste.
The Crusher Grinder:
As the name suggest this type of grinder will quite literately pulverise the coffee bean in an attempt to produce an even grind. However, this happens infrequently and all too often the coffee grounds are produced in varying sizes which as previously discussed is less than ideal. However, a crusher grinder is still a huge step-up from store bought grounds and will give you a better tasting brew.
The Burr Grinder:
There are two types of burr grinders, the flat base burr and the conical burr. Widely considered the best way to make coffee, the conical burr is able to rotate at far slower speeds than a flat based burr and therefore does not emit the same levels of heat that will potentially destroy the flavour.
Unfortunately, these are the most expensive types of grinders available. However, if you love coffee it's a highly recommended investment that will ultimately give you years of coffee drinking pleasure.
