First, a few little facts about coffee. Coffee beans are the top export to twelve different countries and the 7th largest agricultural export in the world with Brazil (the top producer) exporting 2,249,010 tons of it per year. One ton is around 2,000 pounds. That’s a lot of coffee beans being used everyday. Most people won’t wake up properly unless they have their morning cup of java.

So, it makes sense how important a coffee grinder burr is when brewing coffee. Coffee bean must be ground and brewed to create that morning cuppa. So a grinder is necessary. Back in “ye olden days” they ground coffee by hand – what we call today antique coffee grinder burr. Some of them still work at grinding coffee, especially good when the power goes out and you can’t use your electric coffee mill.

Coffee mills are the most important part of coffee making because the beans have to be ground before you can extract the flavor. Just boiling the beans will create an unpleasant burned flavor. After grinding you then let the liquid “brew” for several minutes and the end results are your favorite cup of coffee. The grinding process it the most important.

A burr mill is the best for keeping the flavor and aroma intact. It has blades that don’t produce heat from friction. This is important because when you brew your coffee you want the most flavor from the freshly ground coffee bean. A burr grinder also produces a uniform particle size for the type of coffee you want. You can grind the beans for regular, coarse, or finest grind.

You don’t want a mill to smash the bean as the electric grinders do. They use a high speed rotor blade that can’t be adjusted. Another grinder to use is a mortar and pestle that crushes the bean. Since you’ll be grinding by hand you can make it more uniformed and therefore, have a better tasting cup of coffee.

Burr is not only a type of grinder but it’s also the name of a coffee grinder, Burr. Hence the name, Burr has the most versatile types of coffee grinders when you want to purchase a new grinder. They will have one to meet your every need in a coffee mill.
