Are Commercial Burr
Coffee Grinders Right for You?
How do you know if commercial burr coffee grinders are right for you? Do you grind a high volume of beans daily? Own a coffee shop or espresso cart business? Then you most likely need a commercial unit.
On the other hand, if you grind only a small amount everyday or want a dedicated grinder for decaf, you may get by with one of the units recommended here:
Conical burr grinders Flat plate burr grinders
Commercial coffee grinders are a step up from the home and light commercial units in the above links. But if your business uses more volume it may mean you need a commercial grinder. Also, keep in mind most commercial grade espresso machines come with a grinder built in. So you may not need a separate unit after all.
Characteristics of Commercial Grinders: - Heavy duty
- Large burrs
- Flat plate burrs, almost always
- Large Bean Hopper
- Frame/body of the unit is usually metal (instead of plastic)
- Weight of grinder is heavier and may be less portable
