Read where a Burr is recommended over my old whirlybird. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Bob,

When I get home this weekend I can tell you about the one I purchased a few months ago.

Burrs are produced as matched pairs and are hand-assembled in Switzerland for precise fit. The multiple gear motor produces the slowest grinding action (< 450 rpm) resulting in highest precision grinding from Turkish fine to percolator coarse.
