Blade grinders are totally fine for drip coffee. I'm not sure you'd notice
a difference there. If you're making espresso, the burr grinder is a
must. I have to say, for crusty bike tinkerers, Baratza is right in our
wheelhouse. All the parts and instructions are online. I've had mine
That's brilliant. I may have to investigate adapting my decent, home-use
electric drill to the Neiko. I say this as one who for decades has happily
drunk coffee made from beans egregiously burnt by 30-second, heavily
smoking intervals in high-speed blade grinders. Fortunately, tea requires
no such
I like to go on the cheap. I bought a Hario "skerton pro" manual coffee
grinder, a Genesis GLSD08B 2-speed electric screw driver, and a NEIKO
10068A 20-piece hex nut driver set to grind my coffee several years ago.
The 7mm nut driver fits the 6-point "nut" on top of the Hario coffee
grinder
As the conversation has drifted to include electric grinders, I'd volunteer
that I'm very happy with my "Krups Precision Grinder Flat Burr" which I
found for a very affordable price. Reliably measures the amount of coffee
desired. Also a small footprint, and easy to use. I own a ridiculously
Is this for home use - lots of beans - or a single cup when camping? The
guy on Firebox stove.com has a manual grinder that he has on his videos and
website IIRC. But he's only using it for a single cup in an Aeropress.

I'm fascinated by the manual grinder. I'm into coffee enough to roast my
own beans, but I can't see the benefit of manual work when my Virtuoso does
a fine job for all of my use cases. Now, a manual espresso maker...

For me, it was because I lived in an area where I lost power so often
during the winter. After I bought the little burr grinder I realized it
made better coffee. But the blade grinders aren't terrible, kind of like
riding an aluminum Trek from the 90's with 20mm tires pumped to 160psi on a
For home grinding where the consistency matters, like with a French Press,
I use a Zassenhaus mill. For pour over with a filter, I usually let the
small electric mill do the work quickly. I don't see how heat build up is
a huge issue but if I were in a laboratory environment with $30/lb
That improvement you taste has less to do with hand grinding than it does
1) the consistency of the grind that comes from Burr grinding (Lido) vs.
Blade grinding (Krups) and 2) the lack of heat generated by your Lido as
compared to your high-speed Krups blade which can affect the taste.

I didn't think grind method really mattered as I always used a Krupps. Out
of the blue a relative sent me his Lido 2 that he wasn't using anymore as
bought another grinder that for him was easier .
I make coffee with a 12 cup (hah hah that's 2oz. per cup) aluminum Bialetti
Moka pot and I use
I've explored this esoterica myself, and I figure that, if you roast your
own beans in small amounts, then it would indeed be worthwhile, but if you
-- like me -- buy 3 lb bags (of decent but bulk) coffee at Costco and
freeze it, then, no.

Can someone explain the awesome advantage hand grinders have over my little
electric Krupps? I assume it has to do with heat affecting final taste. But has
BQ done any testing in this area? Kidding aside, does it matter that much? Or
is it mostly just the artisanal aspect? Which is fine, too.
Are we grinding on the road or at home? I assume the road, as there are larger
manual grinders for home.

Forgive the dumb? question but how does one crack the beans first?

I only have experience with one hand grinder (Hario Skerton) and the time
to grind gets exponentially longer the finer you are grinding.
Unfortunately, that specific model doesn't grind well for French press so
it's relegated to back-up status for the rare power outage.

Do two stages. First one cracks the beans coarsely. It will be quick.
Second effort grinds to desired level and will be faster since the cracked
beans flow better than whole beans.

I have the larger Porlex grinder. That takes about about a minute to grind
a 1/2 cup. Set for french press/pour over.
