Is A Blade Coffee Grinder The Best Choice?

By: Chuggin McCoffee Home | Home-and-Family | Home-Appliances


When it comes to enjoying a truly delicious cup of Joe, it is important to begin with freshly ground coffee beans to guarantee the best flavor and taste possible. However, when it comes to choosing a grinder, how do you even know where to begin? If you are interested in a blade coffee grinder, here is what you need to know.

Many coffee experts do not prefer the use of the blade coffee grinder because it does not provide the same quality grind as the higher powered burr coffee grinder. However, that is not mean that the blade coffee grinder needs to be overlooked! These are very inexpensive and common options that are perfect for a starter grinder or those looking to spend less money. Blade coffee grinders work with a cylindrical grinding chamber that has a sharp blade that will spin at a higher speed. You can choose different grind settings to determine if the coffee grounds will be fine or coarse, and the grind consistency also depends on how long the coffee grinder is running.

Some coffee connoisseurs feel that a disadvantage to this types of grinders is that they provide an inconsistency. These grinders are lower powered, so the coffee grounds may not be completely and thoroughly ground as compared to a burr coffee grinder. Blade coffee grinders also work at a high speed, which has the potential to heat the coffee beans. This can become an issue because it will prompt the release of the essential oils of the beans, which takes away from the fullness of flavor in brewing. Some coffee drinkers also feel that the heat caused by blade grinders can create a burnt taste in the coffee product.

The important thing to keep in mind if you are looking for an inexpensive and convenient coffee grinding option is that blade coffee grinders are a viable choice. It is still worthwhile to choose a blade coffee grinder from a trustworthy brand, like Bodum or Krups. This way, you will be able to trust in the product that you have for a dependable grind to your coffee beans every time.

Overall, it is important to congratulate yourself for even entertaining the idea of freshly grinding your coffee beans because not every coffee drinker does so. The reason that this is so beneficial is because it provides the freshest taste possible in your cup of Joe because fresh coffee grounds begin to go stale within 30 seconds. This means that any pre-ground coffee that you may purchase in the grocery store is already beyond stale. That being said, it is ideal to use even a blade coffee grinder to freshly grind the beans, and potentially progress to the more advanced burr variety.


Make sure that you choose a blade coffee grinder that meets all of your feature requirements and is also produced by a reputable company. This will allow you to thoroughly grind your coffee beans with less heat so that the final taste of your Java is impressive.
