I recently invested in a Crusinart Burr grinder.
My cafetiere recently broke so I steeped some very coarsly ground coffee in a cup and poured it through a sieve. Everything seemed to be finem as if the seive had collected all the coffee grounds.
Finishing my drink, I found an awful lot of sludge (maybe 4-5 tablespoons) at the bottom of the cup indicating that some coffee grounds had come through the seive. The grounds looked to be on the esspresso side of grind size.
Being a burr grinder, all the coffee should either go through the sieve or none at a all, as it is my understanding that a burr grinder is meant to grind uniform particles.
Does this mean that the grinder I have purchased isn't a burr grinder?
