Conical burr grinders are much better. Kitchen aid isn't the only brand. I have a brazata encore that works very well and there's a good modding community for it as well. For example the burrs can be upgraded fairly easily which is typically needed if you want an expresso grind.
- cf100clunk 3y agoI'd never heard of that Brazata Encore, not that I'm in the market anymore. Good to know though. The KitchenAid allows removal of the top ring in the conical grinder, allowing ultra-coarse grinds. I've never had to do that because I find that the coarsest grind is already great for my French Press.
- charles_f 3y agoWhile the encore is a good machine, pretty much everyone is agreeing that flat burrs provide a better consistency than conical
- cf100clunk 3y agoThat is not at all what I have found, but who am I to argue with "everyone", heh heh.
- deelowe 3y agoFair enough. I prefer Americano via the aero press so conical is better for me. I think espresso is better when made with flat grinders. Tomato tomahto... Trying both, I prefer conical.
