I have a whirling blade grinder. Do I need a more expensive grinder capable of a finer grind to fully enjoy coffee from the Aerobie AeroPress coffee maker?
We’ve found that whirling blade coffee grinders work fine, but you may need to run them longer than their instructions suggest. When the grind is fine enough, it will tend to stick in the grinder and you’ll have to help it out with a spoon. Two scoops of a nice grind require about 20 seconds press time in the AeroPress coffee maker. Coarser grinds will run through faster and make a slightly weaker cup – which you may prefer, or you may wish to compensate by adding an extra scoop of coffee.
