A Coffee Pro's Guide To Upgrading Your Basic Brews

“A burr grinder, like the Baratza Encore (which we sell on Trade's website), is an excellent way to ensure your coffee is ground perfectly every time. Don't let the price tag make you balk––cheap blade grinders produce uneven and clumpy ground coffee and are very prone to breaking. It's also easy to forget to use the grinder just for coffee, and if you grind spices on the blade grinder, those flavors will invariably end up in your coffee. The Encore's sturdy body and concealed burr set ensure they stay protected and will last you years.”
