The best baristas know that one of the secrets to great-tasting coffee is grinding the beans right before brewing. This high-quality grinder features a ceramic burr that cuts beans to a uniform consistency without pulverizing them for even extraction. Because ceramic burrs generate less heat than metallic blades, the grinder helps preserve the delicate, heat-sensitive flavors and aromas present in the beans. Ideal for drip, pour-over and press coffee as well as most pump espresso machines.
