13 coffee grinders tested

Should it be an Americano, a cold brew or an espresso this time? Whichever type of brew we prefer, we all want to enjoy the full flavour of the beans. So if you want to serve a cold brew, drip or pour over, or enjoy a delicious treat from a machine without a grinder, you need to grind the beans before brewing: After all, the full flavour complex in the beans can only be achieved through the grinding process. By choosing the degree to which the grinder of the grinder should achieve the desired flavour, the final taste can be easily adapted to personal requirements. Of course, you can also buy powder that has already been ground at the factory. However, the flavour that is developed from such a powder can rarely make an impression. After all, such a powder can lose flavour continuously from the moment it is ground. A large proportion of the molecules that give Americano & Co. their exquisite taste are very sensitive and can oxidise in a hurry. However, loss of flavour can be prevented by grinding the beans immediately before brewing: all the flavours remain in the bean powder, which can then also be perceived in the coffee. But which grinder should you buy? Does it have to be a very high-priced model or can a low-priced model also deliver the full flavour? This time, we were able to take a look at 13 different grinders: We illustrate how the models can be used, how to adjust different kinds of grinding parameters, most importantly the degree of grinding, how uniform the powder really is at the end of the grinding process and at what speed the grinders can grind. We also found out all the essentials about sound emission, power consumption, etc.
