burr grinder

Coffee mill mechanism

A burr grinder crushes coffee beans between two rotating abrasive surfaces (burrs) rather than chopping them with blades.

This produces uniform particle size, which coffee enthusiasts consider essential for consistent extraction: I finally upgraded to a burr grinder.

The burrs may be flat or conical, ceramic or steel.
