Coffee Grinders

Coffee Grinder for Espresso or Filter Coffee

Different brewing methods require different grind sizes. Espresso typically uses a finer grind, while filter brewing, pour-over, and French press coffee require coarser settings.

The grind range varies between grinder models. Some are designed for filter coffee, while others can grind finely enough for espresso. For example, the Wilfa Uniform offers 41 grind settings for multiple brewing methods. The Ode Gen 2 features 31 settings but is designed for filter coffee rather than espresso.

Always check which brewing methods the grinder is intended for. The number of grind settings indicates adjustment possibilities but does not alone determine whether a grinder is suitable for espresso.

Manual or Electric Coffee Grinder

A manual coffee grinder is suitable for grinding smaller amounts of coffee or when a compact grinder is preferred. The Espresso Gear Slim, for example, has a capacity of 25 grams of coffee beans and adjustable ceramic burrs. It is particularly intended for coffee prepared using a V-dripper.

An electric coffee grinder is suitable when grinding needs to be faster or more frequent. The range includes both smaller electric grinders for filter coffee and more advanced models with multiple grind settings.

Espresso Grinders for Higher Capacity

For cafés, restaurants, and other operations with higher coffee consumption, there are espresso grinders with larger bean hoppers. The assortment includes models from Bartscher with capacities for 1 kg and 2 kg of coffee beans.

Choose a grinder based on coffee consumption, desired dosing, frequency of use, and the espresso machine it will be paired with.
