Posted by Zassenmaus on 2007-02-23 11:47:53 Post Subject: Help! Where in New York to Buy a Manual Coffee Grinder?
I have a cast iron mill by Universal bought before I knew anything about coffee mills. The cast iron is fastened to the wood base with two screws. One no longer grips. I''ll probably try to fix it by inserting a toothpick in the stripped hole. But I''m shopping for a better home mill.
I''ve found many on the Web I''d happily own, but I don''t want to wait for delivery. I''d like to go out today or tomorrow to buy one, but don''t know where in New York City to go. Anyone know? I expect that Bed, Bath & Beyond, for instance, would carry only electric grinders. What about coffee shops that sell hardware? I can''t find a definitive answer by searching on Google, Froogle, or Yahoo! Yellow Pages, for instance.
I''m looking for a manual mill with a conical burr. (The Universal appears to have a wheel burr.) I like the knee mills by Zassenhaus, but they''re evidently unavailable except second-hand.

I'm reaching out to you about a problem I'm having posting to the
forum. You are one of the "moderators" listed and you have an email
posted on your profile.
I've tried submitting an entry, but continue to get the same error
message. Please point me in the right direction to resolve my problem.
I've emailed beanz@coffeeforums.com several times but have not heard
back for days.
A typical error message is copied below. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I know you are an admin but it seems there's no way to reach the founders of the board. CoffeeLover has only PM (which I can't use without making a post) and the other person has AIM but is not on.
My problem is that I can't post! I click the "Agree" box and when I hit Submit this is what I get:

I have some antique mills that I use on occasion. They are only good for press pot, IMO. I have no experience with the new one.

View entire thread: Coffee Bean Grinders
Posted by Anonymous on 2003-04-21 17:13:13 Post Subject: CoffeeGrinders
There are 2 types of Coffee Grinders. The most avaliable is the Blade type, with a high speed blade that chops the beans up.
The second type is called a Burr grinder, and these can be broken down into cone or plate burrs. These use 2 bits of metal really close together to break the beans apart. Kind of like mill stones. Usually they are called Coffee Mills.
The better of the 2 is the Burr/Mill type grinder. It does not alter the flavour of the coffee beans. The blade type will actualy scorch the beans adding a burnt taste.
I've used both, and can vouch for the flavour altering effects of Blade Grinders.
Your better off buying a Coffee Mill, if u dont want to spoil the flavours.
If you already have a blade grinder, its best to Pulse the on switch instead of holding it down. Holding it down, will cause the flavour changes. A good sign of blade scorching is the smell of the grounds. As u grinder em, you will notice the smell change... You dont want that.

I use a Kitchen-Aid classic burr grinder and absolutely love it. It's about $130.00 but is really well made and offers a lot fo different grind coarseness settings. I use it primarily for espresso with Starbucks beans. and it works great. Here is the Kitchen-Aid website address for the product:
