Electric coffee grinders

A coffee grinder is part of the basic equipment for real coffee lovers and baristas. Because if the coffee beans are only ground directly before brewing, the aroma that has been protected in the bean until then can fully develop. If the coffee powder comes into contact with oxygen for too long, the aroma evaporates relatively quickly. This is particularly noticeable in the taste. To make your daily cup of filter coffee a real pleasure, we recommend adding a coffee grinder to your equipment. We have a large selection of electric coffee grinders in our range.

The grinder is the decisive

The grinder is crucial for the quality of a coffee grinder. Electric coffee grinders are available with impact mechanisms, disc grinders, and conical grinders. We recommend a coffee grinder with a disc or conical grinder. Avoid coffee grinders with impact mechanisms. These models grind the coffee beans very unevenly, which can negatively affect the taste of your coffee. Models with disc or conical grinders produce a particularly uniform ground coffee. Electric coffee grinders with conical grinders grind your coffee beans particularly gently and don't pose the risk of excessive frictional heat. This ensures that your coffee doesn't develop an unpleasantly bitter or sour taste.

The grind setting you should set on your coffee grinder depends on your desired beverage. Finely ground beans provide a good base for espresso, while a medium grind is recommended for classic filter coffee. A coarser grind is recommended for French press preparation. Generally, the grind setting should be precisely tailored to the preparation method, as slight variations may occur depending on the chosen method.

The right electric coffee grinder for your needs

You'll need to budget a bit more for an electric coffee grinder than for a hand-held coffee grinder, but even electric models are available in a variety of price ranges. The Baratza Encore is very popular with coffee lovers and is ideal for beginners, but even discerning home baristas enjoy using the Encore for their daily coffee. It offers up to 40 grinding settings and impresses with its minimalist, sleek design at a low price.

The Baratza Sette 270 Wi and the Eureka Mignon Specialità are the professional models among electric grinders and therefore tend to be in the higher price segment. Both models are definitely worth the money. The Baratza grinder has a built-in scale and, thanks to intelligent software, automatically calculates the stopping point. The grinding level can be continuously adjusted on both the Baratza Sette 270 Wi and the Eureka Mignon Specialità. The Eureka model impresses with its modern design and a disc grinder. It also has a practical timer and grinds your coffee very quietly.

Questions & Answers

How do I recognize a good electric coffee grinder?

A good coffee grinder should produce evenly ground coffee. This is the only way to ensure your filter coffee doesn't taste bitter or sour. To ensure your coffee beans are ground evenly, we recommend choosing a coffee grinder with a disc or conical burr. A good electric coffee grinder also doesn't generate too much heat during the grinding process.

How many watts does a coffee grinder need?

The power of most electric coffee grinders ranges between 100 and 200 watts. However, the decisive factor for the quality of an electric coffee grinder is not its power, but rather its grinding mechanism. The coffee beans should not be overheated to avoid an unpleasantly bitter taste.

What should you pay attention to when cleaning an electric coffee grinder?

Cleaning an electric coffee grinder is essentially no different from cleaning a hand-held coffee grinder. To remove grease residue from the coffee beans, you can regularly wipe the bean hopper with a damp cloth. For particularly stubborn oil residue, you can also use a little dish soap. The grinder can be occasionally cleaned of grinding residue with a narrow vacuum cleaner or a brush.
