When it comes to coffee equipment, grinders are the least favourite sibling. Everyone loves to talk about different brew methods. Everyone loves to discuss roasters and roasting techniques. But grinders don’t get anywhere near as much attention as they deserve.

Choosing the right grinder is just as important as choosing the right brew method. In fact, given how much more expensive a good grinder is than a Chemex or a Kalita, you could say it’s more important. It’s going to have a critical impact on the quality of your coffee, and it’s a lot more expensive to replace if you make the wrong choice.

There are a lot of things to consider, from cost to burr and grind settings. And with the number of grinders on the market, the choice can seem intimidating. So we’ve rounded up two videos that will help you to select the perfect grinder for your needs.
