Which grinder is better burr or blade (I like espresso most of all kinds of coffee drinks)? \r\n\r\nAlso what is the difference between flat plate and conical burr grinder?\r\n\r\nThanks.

If you like espresso, you'd better choose a burr grinder, because you will need uniform grind for your espresso and only burr grinder can make uniform grind. Also burr grinders are known for their flexibility and quality. \r\n\r\nActually in both plate and conical grinders beans are drawn in between the two burrs (one of them is stationary while the motor turns the other) and crushed into the uniform size you need. The conical burr grinders have two cone shaped burrs with ridges that grind/crush the coffee. The flat plate burr grinders have two identical and parallel rings that are serrated on the side that faces the other.

Thanks, that's useful.\r\nWhat about the blade grinders?\r\nAlso can you advice me any good burr grinder?

I would choose burr grinder anyway\r\n\r\nBlade grinders don't grind consistently and the grind can vary from powder to chunks. The grind depends on how long you let the grinder operate, i.e. the longer it grinds the finer the coffee becomes. Also I don't like that blade grinders make a static charge and therefore they are very messy.

Thanks, thanks!\r\nYou are very helpful.\r\nNow I am looking to purchase MC2002 Saeco grinder

Very useful and detailed info, thanks.

Yes, burr grinders are the best and most convenient.\r\n\r\nWe've had a Bunn BCG Deluxe grinder since 1998 and it's been a trooper. Typically we grind beans for three 6-cup pots a day, though for the first two years we only averaged about 1.1 pots per day. But that still adds up to about 3200 6-cup pots' worth of ground...

burr grinder is always the best, sure!

\r\n\r\nI threw out my blade grinder when I read this thread. Thank you

\r\n\r\nDo not hurry up unless your grinder is too old and works badly.\r\nIt's just an opinion, hope you understand it \r\n\r\nBtw, is your blade grinder working OK? Do you like it?
