Grinder question

A burr gives you uniform coffee. There are those among us who are knowledgeable of the math and chemistry of such things so before I misspeak, look into these sites.

Not necessarily. I've got a burr grinder (not a cheap one mind you but the sub $350-500 it takes to hit get the better grinders) that for a course grind would put out so much of a powder that it would clog the filter for cold brewing.

Just bought a baratza virtuoso that was $220 and it is supposed to perform very well across a wide range of grind types, including espresso. Will let you know if the sub $350 statement is actually true after a few days of chemex brews.
