Since the category pages are in the minority and only the biggest players like Amazon or Target rank with them, I\u2019d go with the listicle kind of post recommending multiple coffee grinders.<\/p>\n<p>If you look closely, some of those review pages don\u2019t even specifically target the \u201cburr\u201d grinder type but focus on the best coffee grinders in general. Those naturally mention a few burr grinders, so they\u2019re relevant too.<\/p>\n<p>Both ways here are fine, although focusing on \u201cburr\u201d specifically will likely result in a higher chance of ranking well for this keyword, especially for websites that aren\u2019t huge authorities in the niche\u00a0yet.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, it should go without saying that searchers also want to see valuable and trustworthy information. A good rule of thumb is not to cover topics that you\u2019re not very familiar with and can\u2019t provide value.
