Have you ever thought about buying a grinder for your home and don't know how to choose one?

-

Having the possibility of preparing your coffee freshly ground will be a great leap in the quality of your coffees and that is why we advise you to take into account the following:

First you will have to define your budget, this will be the key to make your choice.


Second, know whether you are looking for an espresso grinder or a filter grinder, as these work differently and it is advisable to buy a grinder designed for the method you are looking for.


Third, you should consider whether you need a manual or automatic grinder, this is important because, for example, a mazzer omega is a fantastic manual grinder, which allows you to grind both filter and espresso, but in the case of espresso, being a very fine grind, it will take a long time and you will need a lot of effort to grind a small amount. 


Finally, take into account how easy it is to disassemble and clean the millstones, since clean millstones will always give you a better grind and therefore a better extraction.

If you want to learn about the different equipment and tools you need to prepare your espressos at home, we invite you to sign up for our Espresso Workshop.
