Coffee Grinders & Milk Frothers

A blade grinder chops beans with a spinning blade, so the grind size depends on how long you run it, and the result can be uneven. A burr grinder crushes beans between two burrs set at a chosen distance, which gives a more consistent grind and lets you pick a setting for each brewing method. Burr grinders suit people who brew coffee in different ways.

Lebanese coffee, like Turkish coffee, needs an extra fine, powder-like grind. Espresso needs a fine grind, filter coffee a medium grind and a French press a coarse grind. Not every home grinder can reach the extra fine powder used for Lebanese coffee, so check the grind settings on the product page if that is how you usually drink it.

An electric milk frother heats and whisks milk at the same time, creating foam for cappuccino, latte or hot chocolate. Many models also offer a cold froth setting for iced drinks. Whole milk usually gives a creamy, stable foam, and some plant-based milks sold as barista versions froth well too. Fill only between the minimum and maximum marks inside the jug.

Unplug the grinder, brush out the leftover grounds and wipe the inside with a dry cloth, and never put the motor base in water. Clean a milk frother after every use, before milk residue dries, using a soft sponge so the coating is not scratched. Check the manual to see which parts, if any, can go in the dishwasher.
