If you are not a coffee grinding freak, but you would like to own a coffee grinder mainly for show –and of course the occasional use, there are many options available. My recommendation to you would be to definitely go for a conical burr coffee grinder.

Conical coffee grinders are very aesthetic and o do not take up much space in your kitchen. If you have a lot of spare counter space a large porcelain-based nostalgic style coffee grinder can add style to your kitchen. But in typical apartments where kitchens are often too small, you need a grinder you can tuck away easily in a corner. Most modern conical types fit that description.

Your conical burr coffee grinder will do much more than just look good though as these devices are considered top performance machines when trying to extract maximum flavor from the bean. So when you do use your coffee grinder, you can be sure its conical burr grinding mechanism will grind to perfection.

Coffee grinders come in different materials. If you prefer natural wood, you have a wide range of colors and finishes. You can choose a dark rich mahogany, a light fresh beech wood design depending on your personal preference. The ultimate in the wooden products is the Zassenhauss conical burr coffee grinders which offer also a variety of finishes for the bean hoppers: brass, black metal, chrome, or even silver and gold. You can opt for either the closed-hopper, or the open-hopper models. I would personally recommend the closed-hopper Zassenhauss for maximum aesthetic appeal.

The ultimate eye-pleasing conical burr coffee grinder for some people is the brass or chrome finish. If you are one of these people, prepare to pay a little extra. The least expensive, but still nice-looking, devices are the ones with stainless steel, black, or in some instances white finish.
