I just bought a new coffee grinder; never had one before but mistakingly twice now I bought whole bean coffee. The coffee is so good when fresh, too!

Yes, it's a big difference. So fragrant too! I have that little bullet Mr. Coffee. I like it but it doesn't grind very much at a time. I do get tired of having to refill it to grind enough. It's also frustrating to wipe it out around that blade. I'm still glad to have it and I use it occasionally.

We use a pastry brush to clean our coffee grinder .. works well!

The burr grinder is the best.

Yes, I'd read that before I bought my little bullet Mr. Coffee. It was more convenient to find and affordable. It works fine for me. I don't use it often anymore.

From Wikipedia and Food & Wine:

A burr coffee grinder is a type of grinder that uses two revolving surfaces to crush coffee beans, resulting in a more consistent grind size compared to blade grinders. This consistency is crucial for achieving optimal extraction and flavor in your coffee.

Burr coffee grinders are essential for achieving a consistent grind size, which is crucial for brewing high-quality coffee. Unlike blade grinders, which chop beans unevenly, burr grinders crush beans between two surfaces, resulting in uniform particle sizes.

Why do you say that?

Because it leaves fewer whole beans in the batch, and doesn't allow over-grinding, which makes the coffee bitter.
But if you're using a regular coffee grinder, it helps to make small batches.

Mine leaves no whole beans and is never bitter coffee, too. I never had a reason to over- grind as the coffee can be looked at after grinding and has no whole beans
