Product Information

So first take the bean hopper off the top of the grinder and give that a clean in the sink with water (make sure it is completely dry when you reassemble). The generous capacity of the bean container makes it suitable for larger households or small offices. Uniform Grinding: Burr grinders crush the coffee beans between a stationary surface and a moving grinding wheel. This process results in a consistent grind size, unlike blade grinders that often create a mixture of different-sized particles. The Melitta Calibra 1027-01’s burr grinder ensures that every particle of your coffee is the same size, contributing to a uniform extraction during brewing and ultimately, a more flavorful and well-rounded coffee.

The hopper actually rotates and that’s how you set your grind. There are 39 different grind options, just rotate the hopper to select which one you want. There are symbols indicating espresso, filter or French press, with just notches in between, so I recommend you read the instructions for the finer details. The grind is very good. The finest grind is very fine, dust-like, while the coarse grind looks similar to the traditional instant coffee consistency and then there are 37 settings in between to try out.Your coffee will taste bitter and over extracted if you hand grind your coffee too fine for your required brew method. The sleek, oval design not only looks stylish, but the shape means that the beans move around much more, meaning the twin blades get to work much more efficiently. In just 25 seconds, you can have your beans ground down to the perfect size for an espresso, and much less for a larger, coarse grind. The scales are great too, with the display showing how many cups your beans will make (you can set it to display grams with a bit of tinkering). Again, this is ideal for someone who wants consistency in their coffee making. Motor: We don’t list the motor RPM as although it is an important factor when buying a grinder it is often misused in marketing. One would think that a higher RPM is a good thing (Many commercial grinders spin at around 1450 RPM).

You know what you’re going to get from this from the first glance – with no buttons and a sleek design, it’s the simplicity of this grinder that really jumps out at you.

Can You Blend Coffee Beans?Disclaimer: The Melitta Calibra 1027-01 Burr Coffee Grinder is currently available only in the UK and Europe. Availability may differ in other regions. Melitta Calibra Burr Coffee Grinder: Key Takeaway The calibre is a coffee grinder, so you buy your favourite coffee beans and this will grind them to a consistency suitable for your use. This is a little bit more than a standard grinder, toying with the side of being a professional grinder, it includes a variety of features. The actual grinder inside is made from steel, it has an integrated digital scale so you can accurately get just the right amount of coffee and it has a whopping 39 grind settings from coarse to fine, meaning your coffee can be used in an espresso machine, filter, cold brew or French press. Blending coffee beans will result in a lot of uneven fragments of the coffee bean. When you brew the ground coffee some of the coffee grinds will under extract and taste sour, while others will over-extract and taste bitter. It is important to point out that this is designed, and marketed, as a multi-use grinder – with more emphasis placed on its ability to handle herbs and spices as well as coffee beans, as you might expect given Martin’s endorsement. Don’t let this put you off though – it is more than adequate when it comes to coffee beans.
