Picked up a burr coffee grinder and couldn’t be happier with the results! Excellent grind.

A burr coffee grinder differs from the common blade style in that it creates a more consistent grind and does not fucking shred your beans into pulp. The blade grinder chops your beans with abandon and no control, creating inconsistent chunks and dust in the same batch. Just an uneven mess.

A burr grinder, on the other hand, uses two abrassive surfaces (the burrs), either flat discs or a cone-and-ring setup, with a fixed gap between them. Beans are fed through and crushed to a consistent size determined by the gap, which is easy to adjust.

I swear, too, that the pot I brewed this morning even tasted better.
