It's all about the Burr.

Potentially the most important purchase of your coffee brewing career so far.

Hey Coffee Lover, So, how is your coffee grinding game? At Batch we're all about the Burrs.  But what are these magical burrs you keep talking of?    There are two types of electric grinders on the market: Blade and Burr grinders.  Blade Grinders are essentially a coffee blender, coffee beans are placed in a container (a little like a Nutri-bullet) and whizzed up for a certain amount of time until the coffee resembles the level of coarseness required for your brew method. The nature of blade grinders means there is no way to break up the coffee beans into consistent size particles and the resulting coffee grinds are of various sizes. Inconsistently ground coffee, when brewed in any method, will result in large particles under extracting and small particles over extracting. This will almost certainly lead to a below-par coffee.   Burr Grinders work by coffee passing through two mechanical burrs (either conical or flat, see below) that essentially crushes the coffee into small enough pieces to pass through and into a chamber where the grounds are either collected in a box or caught in a portafilter.  A burr grinder is the industry standard for coffee grinders. The consistent size of the coffee grounds alongside the ease in which you can adjust the coarseness makes it the only choice for anyone who wants to experience the delightful flavours speciality coffee offers.
