Your grinder matters as much as your espresso machine. A good burr grinder gives you a consistent grind you can adjust in fine steps, which is what turns good beans into great espresso.

How to choose a coffee grinder
- Flat or conical burrs: flat burrs tend to give more clarity in the cup; conical burrs are often more forgiving and run cooler. Both make excellent espresso.
- Single dose or hopper: single-dose grinders like the DF64 and Acaia Orbit grind one dose at a time with very little retention. Hopper grinders like the Eureka Mignon and Mazzer suit households that drink the same coffee every day.
- Stepless adjustment: essential for espresso, so you can make tiny changes to dial in each new bag of beans.
