Common questions
- Why does metal matter in coffee equipment?
- Metal can provide thermal stability, pressure resistance, precise burr alignment, durable threads, and surfaces that tolerate repeated cleaning.
- Is stainless steel always preferable for coffee tools?
- It is a strong default for wet and food-contact areas, but aluminum can reduce mass and manage heat effectively when it is appropriately finished and kept out of unsuitable contact conditions.
