espresso grinders other than their adustability and doser? Are there any differences in the burrs? I am looking into a grinder to get the best possible grind for strickly drip and press pot. Thanks for any responses. Kurt |

And it depends on your definiton of "commercial." Are you running a coffee shop? Roasting business? The commercial bulk grinders are generally made to grind a WHOLE LOT of coffee in a VERY short time. If it is for home use, and you want a quality grinder that will serve your needs for the next few decades there are a few grindders in the $250-350 range that are really quite nice. A true commercial grinder is generally overkill for home use.. for most people. But then again, alt.coffee isn't most people.

ISTM a commercial grinder of any kind would be extreme over-kill for just home drip and press-pot use. That is: Unless your goal is to have an expensive, over-kill grinder just to have an expensive, over-kill grinder. Heck, I kind of wanted a Rancillio Rocky doserless, but felt even *that* was kind of over-kill for my (current?) needs. (Drip and moka pot.) But whatever blows your skirts up. It's your money :). -- Jim Seymour |
