Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?

Question by xDark_Genomex =): Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?
I just bought a Mr.Coffee Coffee grinder, blade grinder not burr. I’m new to this grinding coffee at home thing so I don’t know whether I’m getting the best grind, but what I do know is that the end product is in need of improvement. Any useful tips on getting the perfect grind.

Well, you’ll never get the perfect “grind” from a blade (it pulverizes, not grinds) as they can’t make the coffee even. That means some will be over extracted (bitter) and some under extracted (weak).

If you’re using a blade, just do it in short bursts to prevent burning the bean via friction.
