How to choose an espresso grinder?

What is the difference between conical and flat grinding stones in espresso grinders?

Conical stones are more efficient in grinding and heat up less, which helps to retain the flavour of the coffee. Flat stones provide a more even grind and are more commonly used in professional espresso grinders where precision is important.

Which grinder is suitable for home, office, café or espresso bar use?

A grinder with adjustable coarseness and smaller dimensions is suitable for home use. Grinders with a larger capacity and quiet operation are suitable for the office. Cafés and espresso bars need grinders with high capacity, durable grinding stones and the ability to adjust precisely for different types of espresso.

What are the benefits of a display grinder?

Grinders with a display, especially a touchscreen, make it easy to use and allow precise settings for grinding, timers and other functions. This is particularly useful in professional operations where speed and accuracy are important.

What does gravimetric dosing mean?

Gravimetric dosing means that the grinder weighs the ground coffee during the grinding process, ensuring the exact amount of coffee for each cup. This is ideal for professional baristas who need consistent results.
