The Coffee Snob With a Job
Cuisinart Deluxe Grinder Conical Burr Mill
A dedicated grinder will give you more control over your grind size, which can have a big impact on flavor. "A grinder is your most important piece of brewing equipment," says Goldsworthy. "It will make a huge difference in the quality of your cup." Go with a burr machine, like the Cuisinart Deluxe Grind Conical Burr Mill. Unlike blade grinders, which chop some beans into a fine dust while leaving others the size of pebbles, burr grinders crush beans uniformly. And Cuisinart's simplifies the process with an auto option: When you're in a rush, dial in how many cups you want, press start, and the machine will spit out a measured dose. [$149; cuisinart.com]
