view moreThe Robur wins, but actually, there wasn't much taste difference for most of the grinders. Conical vs Flat I took all the grinder data and ignored that the shots were taken on different days. I then plotted the average EY for both the 13.5g and 16.5g shots to look at the different types of grinders (i.e. conical, flat, and conical then flat).
view moreFlat burr grinders are considered to create a more consistent grind and they are generally faster. As an example, the Baratza Vario W grinds at an average of 2g/sec. However, because they don't rely on gravity to help with the grinding process, flat burr grinders usually have to use more powerful motors to get the job done.
view moreA conical burr grinder is much more efficient than a flat burr grinder in this aspect. For this very reason, as well as a few others, a conical burr is much easier to clean and maintain. This is a plus point, as it is easier to keep clean, which leads to a better quality cup of coffee.
view moreIn contrast, a conical burr grinder gives more clarity and highlights the brighter, acidic and floral notes. However, this is somewhat subjective; there is not much evidence behind this. Price A flat burr grinder is typically more expensive than a conical burr grinder. Flat burrs are more challenging to produce and require a powerful motor to run.
view moreAside from price and availability, the main difference between the two types of burr grinder is that the conical burr produces a bimodal distribution while the flat burr produces a unimodal distribution. For a regular espresso recipe, you need a two-tiered grind, which is what is delivered by the conical burr grinder.
view moreOne burr of conical grinder remains in position, and the other facilitates the grinding process. It is deemed slower than flat burr. Meaning, less ear irritability since the noise it produces is only minimal. Having a low power motor also …

view moreThe larger the outfall depth, the faster the burr will grind and the less consistent the particle distribution will be. That being said, the outfall depth of a flat burr is generally smaller than the outfall of a conical burr. This means that the ratio of fines to boulders is much closer together than it would be for a conical burr.

view moreBut in general, grinders with flat burrs tend to be more consistent, more expensive, noisier and can be prone to heating up as well as retaining some of the grounds. On the other hand, conical grinders are quicker, cooler, cheaper, and tend to be more consistent. About the author Susan Rov A retired barista who turned into a writer.
view moreInstead it's a matter of preference for the factors that set these two types of grinder burrs apart. So in this video I'll be breaking down the flat vs conical burrs debate in terms of espresso preparation. I'll talk about the mechanical aspect, how each set works, and how they actually grind (or more accurately shave and crush) the coffee.

view moreIs conical or flat burr grinder? Conical burrs have a cone-shaped ring that sits inside another cone-shaped ring that's hallow. Beans are directed down through the burrs at a slight angle, but the path is essentially vertical. Flat burr grinders have two rings of burrs that sit horizontal to the ground. One faces upwards and the other faces down.

Conical burr grinders are a great tool for your home providing you good coffee without any hassle. But then again, you may face trouble deciding which one to buy.
view moreConical grinders are easier to clean Because they retain fewer grounds, conical burr grinders are much easier to clean than flat burr grinders. You still need to clean your grinder regularly to avoid buildups of foul-tasting oils and maintenance issues, but conical grinders will remain cleaner between those cleanings. Conical grinders are quieter
view moreSince beans spend more time with flat burrs than conical burrs, there's more friction involved, which generates more heat. It also takes a stronger motor to spin the flat burrs, which produce …
view moreConical burr grinders are gravity-fed hence do not require so much power to operate. This results in lower noise output for conical burr grinders than the flat burr-based units. The flat burr grinder has a high RPM to ensure all the coffee beans get into the grinding chamber. They hence have a more powerful motor that translates to more noise.
