1. Blade grinders are excellent everyday coffee grinders for the typical coffee drinker who has a drip coffee maker in the kitchen. Though not ideal for fine grinding, a blade grinder will reliably produce a medium grind for fresher, tastier morning coffee.
2. Burr grinders use flat plate burrs or conical mills instead of blades, yielding a more consistent grind and greater control over fineness. A conical burr grinder is superior to grinding wheels; it grinds at fewer RPMs, generating less noise and heat.
3. Fast wins the race but not the taste. Serious coffeephiles know that low speed burr grinders create a superior cup of coffee. They're quieter and less messy, with minimal (if any) static charge. A slower speed means less heat and better taste.
4. If only we could look as effortlessly beautiful at the crack of dawn as a stainless steel coffee grinder. But there's more to stainless steel coffee grinders than just their beauty: they also produce less static electricity, i.e. less mess, than plastic grinders.
5. If you're the soul of consistency as a coffee drinker, a coffee grinder with mucho fineness settings may be unnecessary. But if you want espresso one morning and French press the next, those 16 fineness settings could be useful.
6. Someone asking if your coffee grinder has a pulse doesn't mean you should check it for vital signs. A coffee grinder with pulse-grinding capability allows you to easily stop and/or resume grinding.
