Buying guide: what to look for
Burr type & geometry
Flat burrs emphasise clarity; conicals often add body. Geometry and coatings affect speed, heat and flavour expression.
Burr size & speed
Larger burrs (e.g. 83–98 mm) grind quicker with lower RPM for cooler operation—useful at peak service.
Dose control
Timed dosing is simple; **GBW** improves repeatability, reduces waste, and speeds up workflow.
Retention & cleanliness
Chutes, anti-static and purge features reduce clumping/retention for consistent extractions and flavours.
Duty cycle & noise
Match motor power and thermal design to your drinks per hour and venue acoustics.
Care & calibration
Plan for burr seasoning, periodic alignment checks and regular cleaning to maintain uniformity.

| Brew / Filter | Batch brew, V60, cafetière, retail | Wide grind range, low fines, bag clamp | Clarity for filter; cooler grinding | Not suitable for fine espresso |
| Single-Dose / All-Rounder | Menus switching between espresso & brew | Low retention, bellows, stepless adjust | Great versatility, easy flavour testing | Slightly slower; more user input |

Coffee Grinder FAQs
Flat vs conical burrs—what’s the difference?
Flat burrs often highlight clarity and separation; conicals can emphasise body and sweetness. Both can be excellent when properly aligned and maintained.
What is grind-by-weight (GBW)?
GBW doses coffee by weight rather than time. It improves repeatability and reduces waste, especially in busy service.
How often should I clean my grinder?
Light brush daily; deeper clean weekly; replace or service burrs according to usage and manufacturer guidance.
