One of the best ways to have fresher, more delicious coffee at home in the mornings is to grind your coffee right before you prepare it. Coffee beans stay fresher longer than ground coffee, which helps them to retain their flavor. To maximize the fresh flavor by grinding your coffee beans at home, an electronic burr grinder is an excellent appliance. Burr grinders use metal or ceramic burrs to break apart coffee beans instead of cutting them, which makes an even grind for optimal extraction of flavor. We’ve compiled some of the best burr grinders for your countertop, so you can start to enjoy better coffee at home!
