Compare: Entry Level Coffee Grinders

You know how serious we are about coffee grinders! If you haven't heard us rant before about how they're really the most important element of your coffee setup, remind us to break it down for you sometime. Today's video addresses a different aspect of coffee grinders: If you're not planning to ever make espresso at home, how do the entry level grinders compare? Even if you're just budget-conscious and aren't making espresso right now, picking up one of these grinders in the short term isn't a bad idea. We asked Gail to discuss a few different grinders (Capresso Cool Grind, Capresso Burr Coffee Grinder, Capresso Infinity and Baratza Encore), many of which don't go fine enough for a standard espresso extraction. She shows us their features and specs, then compares their grind consistency. Finally, she prepares an Aeropress brew with each of them to see how they practically compare in a side-by-side taste-off.
