Term	German	Turkish	Definition
Blade Grinder	Schlagmahlwerk	Bıçaklı Değirmen	A type of coffee grinding device that utilizes a high-speed, propeller-like metal blade to fracture coffee beans into smaller particles. Because it provides little control over particle size distribution and generates significant heat during the process, it is generally considered inferior to burr-based grinding methods for consistent extraction.
Burr Grinder	Kegel- oder Scheibenmahlwerk	Dişli Değirmen	A professional coffee grinding device utilizing two adjustable, abrasive surfaces (burrs) to fracture coffee beans. Unlike blade-based methods, burr grinders ensure consistent particle size distribution, which is essential for accurate extraction and preventing the heat generation associated with high-speed impact methods.
Thermal Block	Thermoblock	Termoblok	A heating system in espresso machines consisting of a metal block—typically aluminum or brass—embedded with water-carrying copper or stainless steel tubing, which rapidly heats water on demand as it passes through rather than storing a large volume of hot water in a traditional boiler.
