If you don't want to use a coffee grinder that has blades, then you should use a burr coffee grinder. With this type of machine, you load the coffee beans into the hopper and this feeds them into the grinding mechanism. This burrs the beans into coffee grounds and puts them into your catcher or a portafilter, depending on which brand of grinder that you have. The reason that many people prefer to use a burr grinder over one with blades is that they get a more uniform size of grounds.
If you have a Maestro Solis coffee grinder, then you have a high quality kitchen appliance. When buying a grinder, you shouldn't skimp on quality because this will be reflected in the grounds that you receive. A high quality product has gear reductions that reduce the friction during the grinding process, so that the grounds still retain the same flavour of the coffee beans. Some of these can also grind the beans to the fine level that you need for espresso machines. The slower grinding also means that there is less static electricity, so that when you take out the receptacle, there is less chance of grounds spilling onto the counter. It also reduces the chances of grounds sticking to the container.
If you are looking for the best grinder so that you can enjoy different kinds of coffee, you should look for a machine that has different settings for grinding. This will give your coarse grounds when you need them for regular coffee and fine grounds for your espresso or cappuccino.
You can also have a hand coffee grinders or coffee mill. To use this type of machine, you simply place the coffee beans in the receptacle on the top and crank the handle to grind the beans. Although it does require a little more work than pushing a button on an electric model, you still get the grounds you need in your favorite flavour, whether you are using French Roast, Chocolate or another type of coffee beans.
When you use a grinder that has burrs instead of a blade, you get consistent grounds all the time. With the manual coffee mills, you don't have the build up of electricity that occurs with the electric models. Even those that grind slowly do have some static. By grinding the coffee beans yourself, you know that you get the true taste that comes from each bean.
