Re: Whats the Diff between a Bur and Conicle grind
Thats what I thought, However I was having a look at the Mazzers in the Sydney Showroom and was surprised that the Larger of the mazzers were a different grinding mechanism compared to that of the Mini Mazzer..... I think Ill do a bit more research.
Re: Whats the Diff between a Bur and Conicle grind
Conical grinders generally run at a slower rpm than flat burrs, thus generating less heat, at least in the larger commercial models. There was a thread in the aussie section of coffeegeek recently about the differences in the mazzer range.
No complaints though about the output from the flat burrs on my mazzer mini. I hope to have a cimbali flat burr grinder with a larger burr set than the mazzer to compare.
Re: Whats the Diff between a Bur and Conicle grind
I thought there was a debate that the conical burr grinders create a longer shaped grind particle than the flat burr ones so the taste was superior (somehow). Personally, I couldnt say if this was true or false as the only conical high end grinder Ive come across is the Robur and we didnt do a back to back test vs the Super Jolly.
Re: Whats the Diff between a Bur and Conicle grind
There could be something in that Kaanage as I had a Solis 166 (conical bur grinder). Before I got my Rocky (flat burr grinder) and the initial shots were nicer out of the Solis than the Rocky for the same amount of coffee.
But now I pack as much coffee in the into the filter basket as possible which more than solved that little problem.
Re: Whats the Diff between a Bur and Conicle grind
What actually got me asking this was the Mazzer Super Jolly that I saw at Saeco had a worm screw type of head on the Bottom grinding blade, and from what I could tel this is used for dragging down the beans. Ill look up a couple of sites that list the spare parts and see what it actually does.
