- pasbesoin 17y agoBe aware that there are different kinds of burr grinder. IIRC, it is preferable to have one that holds the grinding elements/surfaces (burrs) in what is referred to as a "conical" configuration. A quick google will elucidate; sorry, I'm still waking up...

- tel 17y agoYeah, it's good to bring that up. I got lucky on the auction and grabbed a conic burr: the Bodum Antigua. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=conical+burr+grinder+bodum&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=fab9Ss_xFsGknQe_ifiOCw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=image&resnum=4&ved=0CCAQzAMwAw http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&client=safari&r... Works fantastic so far. Pretty highly recommended by me.
