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?
Barazata Encore. It’s a bit expensive but lasts and works quite well.
I bought mine refurbished from Barazata about 5 years ago, and have never had a problem. I brew 1-2 times per day.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they sell refurbished equipment anymore.
Googled the Baratza and found this hipster shop: https://captncoffee.com/collections/elektrische-kaffeemuehle
I’d rather go for the 1700€ Acaia Orbit and the 300€ Acaia Lunar scale, because they look aesthetically pleasing.
That’s what I get for browsing Lemmy before my first cup - you almost got me. The wave of self-righteous outrage I was about to unleash on you…
I’m still using a baratza maestro that I got at a thrift store 10 years ago
