Hello,
I am looking for a coffee grinder and have some questions about it. I know
similar topic was there some time ago, but people did not seem to be able to decide what they are looking for. So I am asking you for help at 200$ coffee grinders.
Manual coffee grinders are not good because then you have to grind yourself, which at the mornings can be a problem. A lot of energy when you are most tired. Burr coffee grinder is a must for me, I want a consistent grind and blade grinder does never produce a consistent grind. So when looking for 200$ models, few of them come in mind - they can be
found on amazon. Definately nice choices there. I am willing to spend 200$ because before that I had a blade grinder and the grind really sucked. I then read some manuals and they suggest that you should pay the same for coffee machine as for coffee grinder - the quality of the coffee depends heavily on coffee grinder and that certainly matters to me. I do not want to make the same mistake as at the first purchase. I purchased cheaply (30$) and got also very bad coffee grind. I drink coffee almost every day so I notice the difference in taste! Also grinding your own coffee is certainly cheaper than going to Starbucks or other coffee shop.
I realize most important things are durability, consistency, efficiency and noise - grinders are extremely loud. So based on that, I think Breville smart grinder PRO is great. I tried to find some review (it is new sort of grinder so it is hard to find one so there are not many information about it on internet). I read reviews from
that site, seems the best to get some knowledge about coffee grinders. However I am also interested in Ascaso 2CSdb I-2. They both seem to be very good, but I am worried for durability at Breville and loudness of Ascaso. Anyone purchased those or any similar grinders? I'd like to know how big those issues are and if they are worth the money.
