After years of using a blade grinder, I have been convinced of the benefits of using a burr grinder in terms of consistency, etc. Most of the coffee I make is french press or pour-over. I don't make espresso very often so micro-adjusting for perfect espresso is not one of my criteria.
After reading several reviews, I have narrowed the decision down to the Breville Smart Grinder and the Baratza Virtuoso. So, gentlemen, what are your experiences? I doubt very few have used both so opinions on what you are using are welcome. Which would you recommend? What do you like/dislike about the one you have? Is there a better grinder in this price range ($180-$240) that I missed?
Please educate me or just sound off. Thanks.
