FAQs

Do I need a burr grinder or is blade OK?

Burr grinders give even particle size; blade grinders create uneven grounds that lead to bitter and sour notes. For good coffee, invest in a burr grinder.

What is the best budget coffee grinder in the UK?

The Baratza Encore and Sage Dose Control Pro offer solid burr grinding for under £150. For espresso, budget £150–£250 for consistent results.

Can one grinder do both espresso and filter?

Yes. Many grinders have a wide range. You will need to readjust when switching; some users keep separate grinders for convenience.
