Easiest way to make that OK cup, exceptional? Take a look at your grind. You'll be amazed at how much a consistent grind will affect the flavor of your cup. Not to mention how important the size of grind is for your desired brew method. What's the big deal with using burr over blade grinders? Let's take a look:
No. 1: The Grinder
BURR GRINDERS
Burr Grinders use two revolving abrasive surfaces or burrs to grind the beans, just a few at a time.
BLADE GRINDERS
Blade grinders use a single centered blade to chop up beans progressively into smaller and smaller pieces.
No. 2: How It Works

BURR GRINDERS
Burr grinders take it slow(er), drawing the beans through the grinding mechanism a few at a time to deliver a uniform grind every time.
BLADE GRINDERS
Blade grinders are aggressive little machines. They work at a high speed and have limited settings. Some may even overheat your beans, leaving unwanted flavors behind.
