Stay Sharp!
Sharp burrs are essential for an accurate even grind to your espresso. A good comparrison is the difference between chopping with a good chef's knife vs. a hammer. Sharp blades provide even cuts and particles that are all about the same size. Dull blades pulverize coffee into a variety of different sized fragments which prevents even extraction of the coffee oils. Dull burrs also create heat which alters the intended flavor of the espresso. It is nearly impossible to pour consistent shots from a grinder with dull burs.
How often do Grinder burrs need to be replaced?
A good rule of thumb is to replace burrs annually. This usually equates to a volume of approximately 800-1000lbs of espresso. Some grinders feature ceramic burrs which have a life expectancy double that of typical burrs.
