Jon - Thanks for the feedback. I have a 15 year old counter top Bosch burr grinder and it still works as well as it did the day I purchased it. One of the features I originally appreciated about it, though I don’t make much use of today, is its ability to pulverize the grounds for the purposes of making Turkish coffee. And, I agree, the ability to control the relative fineness or coarseness of the grind is a key feature.

After reading your “5 basics to a great cup of coffee” article I was going to ask you for a post regarding grinders. I have the Cuisinart DBM-8 Burr Grinder. So far I found this grinder to be good, not great. This is my first grinder so I cannot make any fair comparisons to other grinders, however, I can say I have much more consistent grounds, and ultimately a better cup of coffee. Also, I like the ability to adjust the coarseness of the grind. I use a drip coffee maker at home and a press at work. I have found using a medium grind for the drip machine and the course grind for the press makes a better cup of coffee.
