Anyone who’s spent any time falling down the rabbit hole that is specialty coffee will tell you without hesitation that the single most significant difference you can make to improve the flavour of your coffee is to grind it fresh. Coffee starts to go stale within minutes of being ground, and there’s really no contest between freshly ground coffee and pre-ground. That’s why a good grinder is one of the most essential tools in the home brewer’s arsenal, but finding something that’s both premium and affordable can be a tall order.
That’s where Mylo Coffee Company comes in. Founded in Hilton, Kwa-Zulu Natal by three MDs with a passion for good coffee, Mylo’s core goal is to make brilliant coffee accessible to more home enthusiasts. To that end, Mylo offers a line of locally designed coffee grinders that sport enviable specs and attractive price tags. Below you’ll find a brief spec-sheet comparing their current three grinders, and you can head to any of their product pages for more information.
