Blade Grinders - Consistantly Inconsistant

These are available for around $20.00. They consist of a rapidly spinning blade that cuts/breaks the beans into a consistency that will render an acceptable cup of coffee. They are the most common grinder around, probably because of its relatively low cost. This is a better option than buying your coffee already ground. Users get accustomed to the amount of time required to get the consistency that they desire, but still some granules are pulverized into a powder, while some others remain in a courser grain. Since there are various brewing methods, each requiring a unique grind, the shortcomings of the blade grinder quickly become apparent. Not to mention that the noise generated by the whirling blades colliding with the beans has reportedly caused a number of early morning familial fracases, adding yet more weight to the list of unfavorable aspects of the blade grinder.

We don't recommend blade type grinders due to their consistently inconsistent results.
