Among all the coffee equipment you have used, which one do you think is the most important?
How to brew a good cup of coffee, the quality of the grinder is undoubtedly extremely important. The grinder is the most expensive one among all equipment. A good grinder can indeed add to the flavor of the coffee. A lot of points.
So what is a professional electric grinder, and how should I choose a dazzling array of electric grinders?
electric grinders are mainly divided into two types: one is Italian type grinder , and the other is single-product grinder . The difference between the two is mainly the coffee powder ground by The size is . The production of
espresso usually requires the finest degree of grind, so that the coffee tastes better when it tastes. Coffee friends all know this common sense, and the uniformity of grind also has certain requirements. Features of
Italian-style grinder
The biggest feature of Italian-style grinder is extremely fine grinding, fast speed, large cutter head, and uniformity is a hard indicator for judging whether the coffee grinder is good or not. Type-type grinders usually do not reach the extremely fine grinding degree of other grinders. There are many Italian grinders on the market, and the prices vary. The best one is from Germany. The Mahlkonig is not only cost-effective, but the coffee grinding uniformity is also the best!
The single-origin coffee does not need to be ground too finely. It does not matter if the ground is not particularly uniform. Generally, siphon or drip brewing is sufficient. Features of
single-product grinder
single-product grinding is more uniform and faster than hand-cranked grinders, and the coffee grinding process can be completed conveniently by pressing a button. It usually has more grinding gears, wide adaptability, and better adaptability to various coffee extraction equipment. The previous article of
has already introduced: The types of grinders can be divided into the following three types:
can be divided into two categories: single-product coffee grinders and espresso grinders by coffee extraction method!
can be divided into three categories according to the grinding disc structure: flat knife, cone knife and ghost tooth!
can be divided into hand grinder and electric according to the working mode!
The next thing I want to focus on is the difference between bean grinders, , which can generally be divided into three categories: flat knives, cone knives and ghost teeth .
grinding disks determine the performance of the grinder, and it also determines the grinding The price of the bean machine.
flat knife
1. Working principle : A metal blade is attached to a motor. When the motor starts, the upper and lower cutters rotate to produce cutting action to cut the beans into broken particles.
2. Applicable: single origin coffee.
3. Advantages: positioning is clearer, and the output quality is proportional to the grade of the grinder and the diameter of the grinding disc.
4. Disadvantages: the uniformity of grinding particles is slightly poor, and there are more fine powders. Because the blade of the flat-knife grinder cuts the coffee beans at will, it is easy to cause insufficient or excessive extraction of coffee powder during brewing. In addition, the friction of the flat knife Generate heat, especially when the flat-knife grinder works for a long time, it will have obvious burnt and bitter taste.
5. Recommendation:
Little Flying Eagle (CM-300AU) Reference Price: About 200-300
Little Pegasus (600N) Reference Price: About 500-700
The performance gap between the two is not big, but the little Pegasus motor is smaller Flying Eagle's is slightly better.
cone knife
1. Working principle : the grinding action is generated between "two cone knife sticks", a moving grinding wheel and a non-moving contact surface, the coffee can be pushed out without pushing between the particles.
2. Suitable for: espresso, Turkish coffee, French press coffee.
3. Advantages: Compared with the and flat knife grinder, the particles grind by the cone knife are more uniform, the proportion of fine powder produced is less, and the odor and astringency are not easy to produce, and the layering of coffee flavor is improved.
4. Disadvantages: The grinding particles are close to the granular shape, which leads to a longer water absorption path of the coffee particles, and it takes longer to reach the water inside.
5. Recommendation:
Household: BARATZA ENCORE Reference price: around 800
Top: MAZZER SUPER JOLLY Reference price: around 3000
MAZZER's grinders are available in the price range of 3000-9000, and are the first choice for most cafes to choose grinders, from flat knife You can choose from cone cutters, and there are many options.
ghost teeth
1. Working principle: mainly grinds coffee beans into particles by grinding, so its shape is mainly close to elliptical.
2. Applicable: single-origin coffee, or you want to obtain coarser coffee powder.
3. Advantages: has a better sense of balance and thickness, more uniform grinding, and cleaner and fuller than flat knives and cone knives.
4. Disadvantages: cannot grind fine coffee powder and cannot meet the grinding degree of espresso coffee.
5. Recommendation:
Pegasus (207N) reference price z150151z0-z152151 3z Japan Fuji R220 reference price around 3000 little flying eagle reference price around 3000 Finally, in terms of flat knife and cone knife ghost teeth, each of the three has its own The advantages and disadvantages of the machine, no matter what the cutter head is relatively speaking, the uniformity is a hard indicator to judge whether the coffee grinder is good or not, so you don’t have to be too entangled in the choice, suitable for you, and in line with what you want to adjust The grinding scale is fine.
