Recently, many people have asked me to buy a bean grinder. If a novice wants to start playing with high-quality products, the grinding system must be used, so this equipment is also a must-buy item. Do you have to wear blog with a neck of blood?

First of all, I quote the self-taught handbag to write: there are mainly two kinds of grinders (bean grinders). One is to make coffee in a random way by rotating the blade at a high speed. The other is to grind the coffee beans systematically in the middle of the plate by turning two cutters. Some of these theories will not be discussed in detail here, now just keep in mind that fine coffee will only use the latter-cutter-type, taking its controllability and high average degree.

Take a look at the BAA crackle machine first.

Blade-grinder

This kind of design is mainly used to grind garlic spices than the kitchen, the high-speed knife breaks the d beans, except that the coarse degree is inconsistent, and more importantly, the d fragrance is both volatilized and buried at high temperature caused by the high speed. It is not good to buy him to make coffee in Qianyuan.

Leaving aside the blade type, the bean grinder bought on the market is mainly composed of four factors.

1. Hand mill 2. Machine mill

3. Cone knife 4. Flat knife

1 and 2 should not explain why there is no word, and there is no good word for personal opinion. If a lazy man does not wash, he must pick the machine. It takes d to grind 15g beans (1 cup) for hand grinding, about 1-3 minutes in advance, depending on the roughness. If you don't wash the machine for 10 seconds, you can put it in a bean warehouse and grind it with a button. The high-end model will have a buried quantity of timer, that is, it can help you grind an approximate weight out of Li by timing, and don't wash the next pound. No matter how high-end it is, it will be added with heavy functions, but it will not be even if it accounts for a good fraction.

The taper knife is more difficult to understand than the flat knife system, unless you are interested in mechanical engineering, you don't have to fully understand and make a choice first. The shape and the ratio of fine powder from each cutter head are different, and the result is that the taste will have its own characteristics. I don't think buy must use the general method of YY knife to make XX.

Talk about many technical differences (please skip this paragraph for non-engineers): hand sharpen 99 series conical knives, while machine grinders can have both. The cone knife mainly depends on the ground deep suction to pass the beans through the blade group, and the flat knife must rely on the centrifugal force caused by the blade speed to push out the powder, and because of this, the flat knife will only appear on the electric mill.

That is to say, the side money is good d? The traditional old c answer method: each has its own advantages.

It was written that there were no actual instructions, so it was difficult to start, so the family began to talk about it. In fact, the flattest machine mill can already buy a home-made Pegasus / Eagle for about $200, which is actually an evergreen machine in the coffee industry with a history of more than ten years and a flat knife design. The original version is Japan Fujiroyal Little Fuji ($3xxx), Taiwan factory "reference" him out of Pegasus / Eagle ($1xxx), follow the power of Made in China and push the price from $200 to $500. There are many choices on Taobao search "Little Flying Eagle Coffee Grinder" immediately.

Major electrical chains in Hong Kong will see this conical knife machine, which costs about $500 to $600. Big European brands, safety certification. The biggest problem with the type of unprofessional mill is that there are too many fine powders, and making a hand grill will seriously affect the flavor. Well, I suggest you buy it.

If you go on, you will be able to do more than a thousand prosumer machines, and the editor blog will no longer talk about living, but will have a chance to write again.

Hand mill, from the most flat 30 mosquitoes Taobao unknown, the author has been greedy to buy back to Li test, Fu has been in. The mini mill on our shelf is the minimum consumption. If you want to start playing mobile phones peacefully, it will be a good start.

The same as the mini mill, there is a common Hario hand mill in shops, which can be bought within 300 years. The next level is to develop a bean grinder for coffee fans. It is as if the noodles on our shelves are only 1zpresso Q series, which are more precise than those made by Hario flat-hand grinder. with an alloy knife with less fine powder than ceramic lapel, it also has an energy-saving design. The beautiful hand mill can go to 12,000 mosquitoes, that is, it is a prosumer grade electric mill. Yes, how exaggerating.

As for the maintenance of the bean grinder, it is nothing more than opening the knife basin and cleaning it. Generally speaking, the metal knife basin can not be washed with water. When you buy it back to Li, you must have a good keep manual, and you will definitely disassemble and wash the noodles.
