It’s a well-known saying in the coffee world: “The grinder is more important than the coffee machine.” Coffee expert James Hoffmann, author of The World Atlas of Coffee, once said: “A great grinder is the most important piece of coffee equipment you can own.” Whether you’re browsing YouTube or coffee forums, professionals and enthusiasts alike stress that without a quality grind, even the fanciest machine can’t deliver truly great coffee.
