I don't understand the burr grinders myself. It seems like a messy way
to grind coffee and the grinding surfaces will collect old coffee
grounds. I probably wouldn't be able to taste the old grounds and oils
but the idea is icky. The worst would be those machines in supermarkets.
I like the high speed sound of the blade grinders myself.
