If you are a serious coffee lover you will appreciate how grinding your own coffee, just before you brew your coffee, gives you the best flavor. Ground coffee interacts with the air around it and, within hours, loses a great deal of flavor and aroma. The longer the ground coffee sits around, the less aroma you will find in your cup later.
We are pleased to offer a great range of Capresso coffee grinders, including Conical Burr Grinders, Burr Grinders and Blade Grinders. Click here to see a comparison chart of coffee grinders - to figure out which type is best for you and your needs.
Conical Burr Grinders preserve the most aroma and can grind very fine and very consistent. These grinders are ideal for all kinds of coffee equipment, Espresso, Drip, Percolators, French Press. The better Conical Burr Grinders can also grind extra fine for the preparation of Turkish coffee. Grinding speed is generally below 500 rpm.
Burr Grinders with disk type burrs grind at a considerable faster speed than conical burr grinders and create a bit more warmth in the coffee (10,000 to 20,000 rpm). They are ideal for Drip, Percolators, French Press and well suited for most pump espresso machines. However they do not grind as fine as Conical Burr Grinders.
Blade Grinders are suitable for drip coffee makers and percolators. They also do a great job for grinding spices and herbs.
