Product Information

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. User-Friendly Design: The grinder comes with a removable bean container with a capacity of 375 grams and a coffee-powder container capable of holding 200 grams. Both are designed for easy detachment and cleaning. Ensure the grind setting ring is positioned at one end of the scale and make a note, this will make it much easier to re-assemble the machine. Okay, it’s time to step things up a notch, with Militta’s Calibra Grinder – one of the premier domestic burr grinders on the market. Blade Grinders: Grinds the beans with a rotating blade. The nature of the ‘chopping’ blade means you don’t always get the same uniformed size and control that you get from a burr grinder, but the cost of these is much lower.
