Coffee roasting is an art mastered by the chosen few, while we mere mortals can only enjoy the results. Chocolate-coloured beans roasted in a drum according to a roaster's carefully devised profile have particular qualities: selected tasting notes, a level of acidity or bitterness and, of course, body. Yet we all have our favourites: one person likes a strong, cream-thick body and caramel aroma; another prefers a tangy black coffee filled with wild-fruit notes. Each roast profile creates a bean with a slightly different body, acidity and aromatic bouquet, and a well-chosen brewing method helps bring them out of freshly ground coffee.

Grinding coffee. Surely nothing could be simpler? Add beans, press the right button and pour out tiny particles ready to release their aroma. Yet nothing in the caffeine world is completely simple or obvious. Even the most ordinary tasks can become complicated until we understand their philosophy. Do not worry: before the existential aspects of grinding, we will start with something straightforward. What do we need to grind beans? A grinder, of course. But which kind?
