FrontStreet Coffee Discusses How to Choose Coffee Grinder Materials

First, there are two main reasons why coffee grinders generate excess heat: one is when the actual grinding volume exceeds the grinder's original capacity, and the other is when the blades become worn or dull. Coffee grinders on the market commonly use three types of blade materials: ceramic blades, steel blades, and titanium alloy blades.

Ceramic Blades

These blades can effectively absorb heat and are highly durable and wear-resistant. Coffee grinders equipped with ceramic blades are not very common and are mostly used for single-serve grinding, such as the La Marzocco Swift grinder.

Some fully automatic espresso machines also use ceramic blades in their built-in grinders, such as the Evolution ASP coffee machine designed by Franke Coffee Systems. The only disadvantage of ceramic blades is that they are very fragile. If any foreign materials other than coffee beans enter the grinder, the consequences could be disastrous.
