I have heard everywhere that burr ground coffee is so much better than blade ground that I decided to take a deep breath and get a burr grinder. Actually it wasn’t that deep of a breath because I found it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a reasonable price.
AS I have said before Marc is the designated coffee maker here. He read all the instructions and made the coffee this morning and it tasted ….pretty darn good.
You have more control over the grind of your coffee and the burrs do not burn the edges of the bean fragments as with the blade grinders. Supposedly this is what gives coffee a bad flavor.
It seems to be a good value and all in all I am pleased.
I read the reviews on Amazon..some people loved it and some hated it. Apparently some of these die within a few months. If that happens, folks, you will hear it here first!

but what’s a “burr” ?
No clue how this smashes the coffee.
Peggy-
it is somewhat the same as a wheat grinder..it uses two disks to tear the beans and it stays cooler.
Interesting…hope that you used a good coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond. I gave up grinding my own beans some months ago when I discovered that I like the pre-ground just fine. Apparently, I’m no connoisseur.
Vee you always make me laugh.
Hmm. Thanks Marye. I might try it if I ever gain counter space! Looks big.
