TopPro10Selecting a coffee grinder could sound really easy, but well it isn’t. You can literally go into a shop and pick up any grinder and then suffer from bad tasting coffee or sleepy mornings for the rest of your lives. Or until you don’t buy in another coffee grinder. So, we have made it easy for you and picked out the 10 best coffee grinders of 2017.
We have listed them out for you, the better you choose the more expensive it gets. So, do a little compromise on comfort or quality for the personal coffee grinder but don’t do that if you hold a café. You need to see a number of coffee beans the container can have, grind quality, time taken, durability, and your usage before you buy in a grinder.
- Type
There are two types of coffee grinders, manual and electric. The electric i.e. the automatic ones are a little more expensive than the manual ones but they really speed up your life and provide a lot of comforts. However, in the electric ones, there are settings to choose how coarse or fine you want your coffee while in the manual you decide it yourself.
- Speed
The speeds of the grinders vary from less than a minute to a few minutes to grind a few ounces of coffee beans. The faster ones are obviously much more expensive but if you are getting late for your office, they could be a life saver.
- Bean Capacity
A few grinders could hold only half an ounce of coffee beans in one go, while a few could hold a few pounds of coffee beans. The more you grind in one, the lesser you need to use the grinder. This could be saving a lot of time on your end.
- Quality
Some fast running grinders kill the aroma of the coffee. While, some slow grinders kill the taste of the coffee. But there are a few that could keep the quality and still work fast enough. The end quality of the grinder is important or you could end up drinking watery tasting coffee.
