Conical burr vs flat burr — which should I buy?

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers describe this as taste-driven. Conical burrs (OXO, Breville) are praised for sweetness and versatility across brew methods. Flat burrs (Mokkom, Shardor 64mm) get credit on r/espresso for clarity and modern espresso profiles. For a single-grinder household doing mostly filter, conical is the safer pick per Coffeeness.de and r/pourover.
