A burr mill uses two revolving elements to crush or tear the large pieces (as opposed to blade grinders which chop the item repeatedly). They do not heat up as much as blade grinders and produce a consistent particle size.

Manual burr grinders

Manual burr grinders utilise manual action to grind food products. Manual grinders typically require the turning of a rotating handle which, in turn, rotates one grinding element against another. Ground material is collected in a container below the grinding elements through force of gravity.

Electric burr grinders

Electric burr grinders are powered by electricity from a battery or mains supply. An electric motor drives the grinding elements against each other. Electric grinders are, in general, much quicker and more convenient than manual grinders but can heat the food product being ground and sometimes suffer from static electricity.
