We measure the fineness of grind by adjusting each machine to produce a grind suitable for our semi-automatic ECM Giotto machine. We make two cups of espresso and judge the crema quality and the strength of the coffee. |

Type of grinder
Expand to view more details.
Coffee grinders can use burrs or blades; we recommend burr-type grinders to produce a more even result. Burr grinders can use either conical (cone-shaped) or flat burrs to crush the coffee beans. In our experience, conical burrs tend to produce better results, but during testing some models with flat burrs have outperformed their conical counterparts. |

Fineness settings
Expand to view more details.
Number of incremental grind settings available. Some experimentation may be required to find the best settings for your machine. A grind that's too coarse will have poor flavour and crema; if it's too fine it can block the filter. A "stepless" machine will have infinite adjustments between grind settings for even more control, but these may be more difficult to keep track of. Some multi-purpose grinders don't have this feature. |
