A coffee grinder grinds beans into smaller pieces so that the surface area is increased, which allows for more efficient extraction. As a general rule of thumb, the finer the bean is ground, the faster extraction occurs. So how fine do you want the bean to be? That depends upon the type of brewing you are doing, as well as the type of brewing equipment being used. Hand mills are still available and can grind surprisingly uniformly, but they are very time consuming. Most hand mills are adjustable, allowing particles to be ground coarse, medium, and fine. However, hand mills are not capable of grinding finely enough for certain coffee beverages, such as espresso. Most people who grind their own coffees opt for electric grinders, due to their convenience and versatility. The two basic kinds of electric coffee grinders are blade grinders and burr grinders.
The other kind of electric grinder, the burr grinder, has two metal discs or cones that grind the bean between them. Conical burrs are often found on more-expensive, commercial coffee grinders. As a rule, burr grinders can achieve a more uniform grind size than blade grinders. Burr grinders are differentiated by features such as timers, the number of speeds and adjustments, and automatic switch-offs. Some burr grinders have specialty settings to grind beans for espresso and Turkish coffee drinks that require very fine particles.
