Electric grinder

Also known as electric grinder · molino eléctrico · electric burr grinder · moulin électrique

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from hand by speed and often timers/single-dose. Not all electrics are burrs—avoid blades.

What it’s for and how to use it: Dose or grind on demand → purge retention → dial grind. Single-dose reduces stale hopper coffee.

Cup impact or benefit: Day-to-day consistency, less fatigue. Repeatable espresso for household.

Technical notes: Motor, gears, heat; big hoppers age coffee.

Common mistakes: Choosing by watts alone. Leaving hopper full for weeks.
