Krups Coffee Grinder

A Krups Coffee Grinder is as you would expect,  a top quality product made with great engineering precision by a top company.  

All Coffee Grinders come as two types, a Blade Grinder, and a Burr Grinder, and the krups Coffee Grinder is no exception 

1.      A Coffee Blade grinder uses a metal blade to chop uo the coffee beans, and the fineness of the coffee grounds is dependent on how long you grind them for. As this is an inexact science the results can be inconsistent, but for the vast majority of everyday coffee drinkers this doesn’t matter. 

2.      A Burr Coffee Grinder crushes the beans between a moving wheel and a non moving wheel. The fineness of the grounds can be preset and this is the choice Coffee grinder of true coffee aficionados. There are wheel grinders and conical grinder, and the conical grinder is the top of the range coffee grinder. 

There is a substantial price difference between the Krups Blade Coffee grinder, and the krups Burr Coffee Grinder as you might expect, and this article will discuss two simple models, one blade and one burr, both made by Krups. 

The Krups Fast Touch 203 Blade Type Coffee Grinder 

Best described as a basic blade coffee grinder the Krups Fast Touch has a large capacity, will last a long time, and is cheap, but somewhat noisy. 

It is ideal for automatic drip coffee makers and French presses. It will also grind nuts and seeds. Designed for easiness in operation and cleaning it will hold 12 tablespoons of beans which will make about 1.5 pots of automatic drip coffee. You won’t get a fine enough grind to use in an espresso machine, and you can expect to pay around $19.
