What is pulse coffee grinder mode

At the end of the last century, coffee began to gain particular popularity among Russian residents. Good bean coffee was not available to everyone; ordinary people drank instant coffee. Now the situation has changed and everyone can afford to drink a cup of this aromatic freshly brewed drink in the morning.

Coffee grinder: a necessity or a waste of money

Freshly ground coffee is the standard of taste. When buying a package of ground coffee, you can hope for a good taste within a couple of weeks. After this period, the entire smell disappears, and the product itself becomes less tasty. This is due to the fact that the drink retains its full taste and aroma only in the form of grains. Having a coffee grinder, you can grind the required amount of beans right before the brewing process.

IMPORTANT! Experienced baristas know that brewing in a Turk, geyser coffee maker or capsule coffee maker requires the use of different grinding beans.

Additional functions of modern coffee grinders

Before purchasing, you should understand the functionality. In addition to standard characteristics (power, volume, performance), the devices are equipped with additional functions:

1. Adjustment and the number of grinding levels is necessary for users who use different equipment to prepare coffee.
2. Portion counter.
3. The timer is useful for people who prefer to independently regulate the degree of grinding.
4. Control from a smartphone makes it possible to start preparing a drink without getting out of bed.
5. Dispenser. The device counts exactly the portion that is required.
6. Pulse mode.

Let's dwell on the last function and consider it in more detail.

What is pulse mode in a coffee grinder and why is it needed?

The pulse mode of the device is characterized by cyclic operation and periodic stopping of the process. It is used everywhere in knife grinders and has such advantages as:

• thanks to periodic stopping of the knives, the user can visually adjust the grinding of grains;
• effective in processing solid products - in addition to coffee beans, such a device can be used to grind, for example, nuts;
• a device equipped with a pulse mode function is more durable and resistant to overheating during long-term operation;
• The coffee granules mix better and the grinding is more uniform.

ATTENTION! You should buy coffee only in beans if you hope to get a high-quality and tasty drink.

Not all coffee grinders are equipped with a pulse mode. Those that are endowed with it have a great advantage over others in grinding solid products and controlling the quality of grinding. Such coffee grinders are more reliable and do not overheat.
