Espresso Coffee Grinders

Espresso coffee beans need to be ground to release their flavour, and choosing the right espresso grinder is the first step towards consistent espresso drink quality.

Espresso coffee grinders, do what seems like a simple job, which is to create perfectly uniform particles of coffee. This is the very first stage in producing great espresso drinks, and if not done correctly, your chances of serving amazing espresso based drinks will be zero.

Grinders work by cutting whole beans between a pair of sharp opposing burrs, one stationary and one rotating. By adjusting the distance between them, you can control particle size. The burrs must be cleaned and replaced regularly to stay sharp. If burrs are not sharp enough to shave a fingernail, they won’t cut beans cleanly and evenly. Dull burrs mash the beans into irregular particles that brew erratically.

Your choice of espresso coffee grinder is just as important as the espresso machine itself. We recommend the world leading manufacturer MAZZER of Italy. Mazzer have dominated the espresso grinder market for a number of decades, and the launch of their Grind on Demand conical burr grinders keeps them one step ahead of the numerous grinder manufacturers out there.
