Newby questions. I buy beans in bulk, freeze, and grind at need. I prefer
(convenience, results) a Melita filter, and thus grind very fine -- this
seems (experience) to give best flavor.
Now: I use a blade grinder. After 20 seconds, the resulting very fine meal
seems quite uniform (an I don't notice any degradation in flavor from
heating -- the stuff doesn't get hot, just very mildly warm). BUT: grinding
beans straight from the freezer leaves the meal hard to handle: it' like
staticky fine long hair; it goes everywhere and makes a mess.
So my question comes down to this: I'm perfectly happy with the taste from
a blade grinder and Melita, but I'd like a grinder that doesn't leave a
mess when grinding frozen beans very fine.
Would a burr grinder help in this regard?
I see electric burr grinders for sub $50, and I see Hario crank burr
grinders for the same price. Which are better, and why?
This place says no burr grinder under $100 is any good (I take it Harios
are exceptions to this rule). Is this rule right?
Lastly: Open to general comments about storing, grinding, and brewing
coffee, but I am happy with my routine except for the mess described.
Thanks.
