Trying to find the best Wilfa coffee grinder might feel like the equivalent of trying to find a needle in a haystack. All this talk of ‘conical burrs’ and ‘speed motors’ can be pretty bamboozling. Plus, save for different colours the products seem to look exactly the same. So, we’re here to cut through the noise and help you choose the right piece of kit for you.
1. The all-rounder
Wilfa Svart Nymalt Grinder in Silver
This is the most affordable of the Wilfa grinders, and extremely versatile too. Whether you want a great grind for cafetière coffee or Aeropress, the Wilfa Svart can achieve it. The only thing it can’t grind to perfection is espresso. So, if you’re an espresso aficionado, you’ll want to look elsewhere.
This grinder has conical burrs which is a fancy way of saying it uses less energy, noise and heat than flat burrs. Conical burrs ensure a heavy bodied, rich flavoured grind.
2. The classic
This beauty comes with 5 different grind settings and has an adjustable timer function putting all the mighty grind power in your hands. It’s also quieter than the silver model, so if you are averse to the sound of coffee beans being whizzed up and ground down in the morning, this quiet comrade could be for you. A UV-protected coffee hopper and tray keeps the grind fresh for longer.
Again, this variety is not designed to grind espresso beans.
3. The investment
The Uniform Coffee Grinder comes with a higher price tag than the other models mentioned here, but it’s for good reason. This trusty grinding companion has no less than 41 adjustment steps, it’s quick and precise and it features stainless steel flat burrs.
What are flat burrs? We hear you ask. They’re basically the horizontal blades that the coffee beans are fed between. Flat burrs give you more power and flexibility over your grind size.
If you’re looking for a versatile grinder steed to last the long haul, look no further. Heck, it even comes with a nifty cleaning brush too.
We hope this blog has helped you to get one step closer to finding the right coffee grinder. Searching for an espresso grinder? Check out the Sage Smart Grinder over on our product page.
