Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?
Question by xDark_Genomex =): Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?
I just bought a Mr.Coffee Coffee grinder, blade grinder not burr. I’m new to this grinding coffee at home thing so I don’t know whether I’m getting the best grind, but what I do know is that the end product is in need of improvement. Any useful tips on getting the perfect grind.

Well, you’ll never get the perfect “grind” from a blade (it pulverizes, not grinds) as they can’t make the coffee even. That means some will be over extracted (bitter) and some under extracted (weak).
If you’re using a blade, just do it in short bursts to prevent burning the bean via friction.

It is very difficult to get good results from a blade grinder. Blade grinders produce dust and chunks. Proper coffee brewing requires uniform sized coffee grinds, impossible to obtain with a blade grinder. I purchased my burr grinder for under $ 100 and it works fabulously! It is a conical burr grinder, which last longer and produces better grinds than a flat burr grinder…and certainly better than a blade grinder. You grinder is as important as your brewer, and as important as your beans. They go hand in hand in hand.
