One of most asked questions: What kind of grinder should I buy?

​When purchasing a grinder, there are two things to consider:

Are you going for the fastest/cheapest route as coffee is merely a tool and/or habit? Or is coffee something you want to enjoy and experience and you want a better cup of coffee? Neither is wrong, it’s all in what you want to get out of it.

If you are looking to get a simple grinder because you are a “nooby” and want to give it a try, or simply want a cheap one, then any grinder you buy will work. It’s still a better cup of coffee grinding the whole beans yourself each time. These usually run between $17-$20 and use a blade to grind the beans. Below is a link to one that we’ve used previously (they also sell them at most stores). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...

If you’re looking for a step up and a better and detailed grind options without too much of an investment, we recommend a burr grinder. This uses burrs to give you versatility with several grind options; which helps when you’re brewing your coffee in either a french press (course grind) a drip coffee pot (medium grind), using an espresso machine (finer grind) or a pour over (mid to fine grind). It offers precision and keeps the grounds even and optimal flavor. Here’s one that we’ve used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...
