Burr upgrades change grind distribution, clarity, body, and workflow. Our recommendations balance geometry, diameter, and material to match your brew style and taste goals.
Why upgrade your burrs?
- More consistent particle size = better extraction
- Tune for espresso, filter, or an all-round profile
- More clarity, sweetness, or body depending on your goals
Burr geometry
Geometry (flat vs. conical, aggressive vs. unimodal, cutting angle, finishing) controls how beans are fractured. Aggressive geometries increase fines and body; unimodal geometries emphasize clarity and separation.
Burr diameter
Larger diameters can grind faster with less heat and a tighter distribution. Smaller diameters can be more forgiving and emphasize texture.
Coating and material
Coatings like DLC or TiN reduce friction and wear and can improve dose consistency. Material hardness also affects longevity and how grounds flow.
Taste focus
Espresso-focused burrs typically prioritize body and intensity. Filter-focused burrs highlight clarity and brightness. Multipurpose burrs aim for a balanced profile.
Why recommendations differ
Small changes in geometry, diameter, and finish shift extraction and perception. We match burrs to your grinder and preferences to get the cleanest, tastiest cup.
