Coffee grinders
Traditional manual coffee grinder
Manual grinders
Manual burr grinders are turned by hand,
rotating one grinding surface against the
other. Coffee mills usually have a handle,
providing leverage for the many turns
required to grind enough coffee for a cup.
The ground coffee is collected in a
container which is part of the mill.
Salt, pepper, and spice mills, essentially
the same as coffee mills, usually do not
have a handle, the entire top rotating
instead. While this is less convenient, only
a few turns are required to grind enough.
The ground product falls directly onto the
food being seasoned; the mill has no
container. A few designs have abrasive
surfaces which do not rotate; each
squeeze of the handles moves one flat
plate past another, then the plates are
restored to their original position by a
spring. Many hard spices are available in
containers incorporating a simple cone
burr grinder, intended to be discarded
when empty.
Most grinders can be adjusted to set the
fineness of grind.

Types of materials
There are several types of materials used
in pepper mills, each with its own
particular advantages. Corrosion-resistant
materials are used to grind salt.
Stainless steel: One of the most suitable
and durable materials for grinding
peppercorns and coffee beans. The male
and female sections of the grinding
mechanism are usually made from
sintered metal. This material is preferred
by professional chefs. [12] The teeth of the
grinder are machined to cut spice or
beans. Stainless steel is not suggested for
grinding salt.
Electric grinders
Electric burr grinders are powered by
electricity from a battery or mains
supply.[14] An electric motor drives the
grinding elements against each other.
Electric grinders grind faster than manual
grinders with no effort, but friction and
waste heat from the motor may heat the
ground product slightly.
