can anyone tell me if this is a conical burr grinder, or a wheel burr?

The box says Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder. I have enjoyed it. For the 4 cup Bodum I bought, I grind at the most 8 Tablespoons at a time. It takes a very few minutes to grind, but for a man, it wouldn't take much time at all to grind the coffee beans. The trouble is worth nice tasting non bitter fresh coffee any day!

I'd say conical. The pieces look very similar to the image under the heading "Vintage Hand Conical Burr Grinders" at http://vintagecoffeegrinders.com/

It's conical. It look like a flat wheel grinder but the teeth are on the edges at a taper, thus making it a form of conical burr. A wheel burr grinder would have the teeth on the flat surfaces between the wheels.

I am not sure because this is a manual burr I'd like to say that it's a wheel burr grinder.

Hello Nikola, the Kuissential coffee grinder uses a Conical Burr made from strong ceramic. Hope this helps! Alex - Team Kuissential

Since I don't have both, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it is just about the fine blade, which I doubt I'd use anyway. The one I purchased has two blades, a coarse and a medium. Mine is entirely made of metal and built to last. I would never waste my money on a plastic grinder.

This is the one I had luck with:Cuisinart DCG-12BC Grind Central Coffee Grinder

I just received mine & it included a Bosch Type 27 Metal Grinding Wheel with 7/8" hole thru the center. The shaft size appears to be 5/8", but the 'Backing Flange' converts it to 7/8".

The BCG450XL Conical Burr Grinder is designed for use as a coffee grinder only. It is not designed to handle items such as egg shells.

I don't know but did not get any satisfaction from this company on problems I had with my grinder; it arrived with the part that holds the blades bent so once I finally got it off, it would not go back on. Ended up sending it back at my expense!! Good luck.

Not sure of the specific grinder but we use it daily with a variety of machines. Good product, have used most of the competition, though we still deal with a lot of dust. Have not found the perfect solution.

sorry for that happening to you. i can't remember but I don't think mine arrived that way. You may have gotten a machine that someone was actually using thus the grinds all over the place. I'd phone the company you bought it from and the rancillio company.

If the gear in question is what does the grinding it appears to be ceramic. Don't know where there are any gears in this thing.

Yes, they are conical burrs. If you check my review, I did test it by making French press coffee. For coarse grinds it is not as consistent as a high-end electric grinder, but I found its performance to be pretty good and better than other Hario hand grinders (Skerton, Mini Mill).

I have no idea. I don't recall if I even knew it existed. I should have though because my grinder broke in about a year.

This is a cordless grinder ! This is NOT a drill , please understand that who ever listed this as a drill is wrong

typical angle grinders use a 7" wheel for larger surface jobs. Small angles use a 4"- 4.5" wheel designed for tighter spaces and more detailed finishes

I did not go to the website but 5/8 is the standard for these 4 1/2" grinders. All the wire wheels and grinding blades are either threaded for the 5/8 arbor or have a smooth center hole. The 7/8 arbor could be for the much larger, more powerful side grinders usually associated with industrial work.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

Mr. Teacher, the interior base and about one inch up the sides is all stainless steel like the blade. Above that is the same thick plastic that makes up the exterior body of the grinder: it's all one piece. I haven't had my unit long, and use it for spices, nuts, and grains and not coffee beans, but I haven't had any of the issues you've described, and mine is white. I owned a Krups coffee grinder years ago: loved it then and understand that it is still operating since I lost it in my divorce settlement lol. Hope that helps!
