How many kinds of coffee grinders are there? How do I buy it? How can I make coffee without a coffee maker?

Making coffee itself can be affected by many factors, such as coffee powder, proportion and water temperature. The quality of the bean grinder is important for a cup of coffee.

For example, the powder ground by a poor quality bean grinder is uneven in thickness, large and small, and when a stream of hot water rushes down, within three minutes, the large particles have not been extracted, and the small particles are excessively extracted; the coffee powder in the container is unevenly distributed, and the side with more coarse powder will be extracted too much at high water temperature; the side with more fine powder will be extracted incompletely at low water temperature. This concept is the same as all methods of making coffee, no matter how much coffee needs to be ground. Excessive extraction will make the coffee numb and astringent on the tip of the tongue, and incomplete extraction will make the coffee have very little flavor and only acid.

How should you set the budget for your bean grinder?

I can tell you a very simple and quick rule, that is, when buying a $200 bean grinder, your coffee machine and bean grinder should each account for half of your budget, and when your budget is bigger, your bean grinder's share of the entire budget can be reduced.

In other words, if your budget is $500, you will spend about $200 to $250 on a bean grinder and $250 to $300 on a coffee maker. If your budget is $1000, you can consider spending $300 to $350 on a bean grinder and $650 to $700 on a coffee maker.

I know that some readers will certainly question it, and may laugh at me for spending $300 or more to buy a mill. But if you spend $1000 on a machine, the $300 mill doesn't really make up much of the overall budget. Now you have to accept the fact that the bean grinder is very important in the whole process of purchasing coffee equipment. Let's think about it this way, coffee equipment purchase budget = coffee machine + bean grinder + additional equipment, rather than coffee equipment budget = coffee machine. Practice can fully prove this, when you have a good bean grinder, your espresso will even be unmatched by 95% of professional cafes, and it will be easier to make.

A bean grinder for burning coffee

Bean grinders can be divided into three categories: flat knife, conical knife and ghost teeth.

Flat knife: coffee beans are ground into particles by cutting, so its shape is mainly flaky.

Cone knife: the coffee bean is ground into particles by grinding, so its shape is mainly block.

Ghost teeth: coffee beans are ground into particles in the way of grinding, so their shape is mainly close to circle.

A few years ago, there was a little Fuji in a coffee shop, which is something to boast of. However, in the whole domestic coffee industry, the equipment does not ask for the best (better than), but the most expensive. Little Fuji is an arcade in this era. Fujiroyal Fuji electric bean grinder Rmur220 ghost tooth 220V imported from Japan, sawtooth is also known as ghost tooth, ghost tooth grinding is generally not suitable for grinding very fine powder, ghost tooth is suitable for drip filter coffee grinding.

The first choice for professional entry, the particles are still quite uniform.

Is a commercial professional Italian bean grinder, is a professional bean grinder, recommend a more suitable for small coffee shop, the price is about 4800 yuan +, mainly used for Italian quantitative coffee grinding, control the amount of coffee beans each time, and the relatively small size of the bean grinder, this one also meets the use of feverish coffee lovers.

Mazzer exclusive research and development of the stepless adjustment cutter head, so that friends can adjust the thickness of grinding, accurately match the characteristics of beans and the needs of friends, its cooking handle rack, easy to fix the handle and make the grinding powder really fall into the filter cup, and contains the grinding outlet of the dispersion net, which can effectively improve the production of the powder. All in all, this is a company with a conscience, which is worth studying.

This bean grinder can only produce single coffee (not for Italian grinding). The market price is 5500. The design of the bean warehouse is not convenient to switch between different coffee beans. Without considering the waste of grinding time and the need for a small brush to help the beans jump off the edge of the warehouse, everything is fine. It looks very beautiful visually, because it is light, if you are a small independent cafe, I believe the thinking about the so-called production line is also constantly adjusting, buying one can set the time and weight. With LCD touch screen (which sounds very tall and high), friends can set the grinding time of each button in advance, and the minimum spacing can be set to 0.05 seconds. You can also use manual keys to determine the grinding time and powder quantity. And it is a single mill that can be carried away by a girl, which is really a good thing.

After someone used EK43 to make espresso in the WBC barista competition one year, it gave everyone a strange enjoyment. As a result, a new round of machine burning movement began. All of a sudden, I found that the coffee friends around me began to talk about this bean grinder, and then went crazy to pursue and buy it. And the manufacturers began to be shameless after tasting the sweetness. Sponsor competitions, stipulating that some competitions can only use their machine blabla. This is a well-deserved new generation of machine god, his frequency has reached the level of arcade, these days, there is not an EK43 town shop, are embarrassed to tell others that you sell single products

This is the coffee powder ground by EK43: the data show that the EK43 grinding particles are not only the smallest, but also the most uniform, which means that the extraction of coffee is more uniform, the degree of extraction tends to be perfect, and there is no over-extraction.

Advantages and disadvantages:

The conical knife grinder places a conical cutter head at the bottom, and then grinds it with the outer ring cutter head. After the coffee bean falls from above, it will pull the coffee bean down with the rotation of the conical cutter head, and then produce grinding action. Because of the relationship from top to bottom, the particles can push the coffee out without pushing. Compared with the peace knife grinder, the number of collisions between the particles will be reduced a lot. Therefore, the proportion of fine powder produced by the cone knife will be much less than that of the flat knife, and the uniformity of coffee grinding will be greatly improved.

The cone knife grinding particles will be nearly granular, resulting in a longer water absorption path of coffee particles, and it will take longer for the interior to come into contact with water, so the cone knife particles will release less soluble matter at the initial stage, resulting in a low concentration in a short period of time. At the same time, because the shape is granular, even if extracted for a longer time, the xylem absorbs less water and is less likely to produce miscellaneous and astringent taste.
