FAQs Is the DeLonghi Burr Coffee Grinder KG79 suitable for grinding coffee beans for espresso?

Pros and Cons of DeLonghi Burr Coffee Grinder KG79 Pros The Niche Zero for example has a powerful motor, but that power is converted into torque via gears, which slows down the speed that the burs spin.This is done to reduce heat generation, as a faster spinning burr creates heat, and heat can mess with the flavour. Reducing the spinning speed also reduces static, and can lead to generally better quality coffee grinding. The KG79 employs burr grinding technology, widely regarded as the most efficient means of crushing coffee beans. Burr grinders use two spinning burrs to crush the beans, producing a uniformly fine grind that is perfect for making coffee. Having said that, though, the burrs on the DeLonghi KG79, and on the other, two very similarly priced and very similar grinders, the Krups Expert and Melitta Molino aren't quite the same as most of the more expensive burr grinders.
