99% Alumina Ceramic Parts Electric Flat Burr Grinder Coffee Machine Accessories
Some people may wonder why blade coffee grinders are rarely seen on the market. This is because a blade grinder is cheaper but not durable. Secondly a blade grinder can never give you extremely fine ground because it chops the beans unevenly. Besides, a burr grinder has a mechanism that allows you to set grind sizes, while a blade grinder don't.
Mainly there are two types of coffee grinders, conical burr grinders and flat burr grinders. If you are serious about grinding consistency or you are more into finer grounds, then you should go for the flat burr grinder. However, if you are more of a medium to coarse ground kind of coffee lover, then you can stick to the conical type.
Our ceramic burrs for coffee grinders are primarily made of 95%, 99% and 99.5% alumina. The one you're looking at is made of 99% alumina. Alumina is used in grinding burr applications due to its high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. Grinders with alumina burrs are designed to last a long time.

Q1: Can a pepper grinder be used to grind coffee beans?
No. Even if you had an awesome grinder that could vary between the sizes (Note that coffee beans are about 10 times larger than a pepper corn), there are two complications: Firstly it would be hard to adjust it precisely right when going back and forth. Secondly your coffee would taste like pepper!
Q2: How long do ceramic burrs last?
Ceramic burrs are designed to last a long time, and with proper care, they can last even longer. However, the lifespan of your ceramic burrs will ultimately depend on how often you use them and how well you take care of them.
Q3: How to clean my ceramic burr coffee grinder?
There are different reasons and occasions for cleaning.
(1) Daily cleaning and maintenance: In this case you want to avoid getting old grinds mixed with your freshly ground coffee. You don't have to disassemble it thoroughly every time you clean it. You can use a soft brush or a dust blower around the burrs daily or weekly (depending on how clean it is).
(2) Deep cleaning: In this case you take the grinder apart and clean out old coffee built-up (Be sure you know the correct way to take apart your grinder). You can do this every 3-6 months and use a dust blower or a soft brush for cleaning.
