Properly Ground Coffee, Life Can Grind To A Halt

Coffee is one of life’s simplest pleasures, and yet its not as simple as it may seem, if fact at it could be quite complex.

We settle on the cheap to but coffee at the local gas station, or even worse we drink the sludge they have in our office because we are too busy and or in a rush to sit down and enjoy a proper cup.

Once you decide to take a few minutes out of your for yourself each morning so you can have great coffee you will need to invest in a coffee grinder. But which one should you choose?

It really does matter and if you think all coffee is the same try and find a friend who is serious about coffee. Compare two different coffees one ground at home and the other bought from a store or even instant coffee.

You walk into you local store or search online and you look at the prices and you think sixty dollars for a grinder, how ridiculous? Trust me, I have been there, but I do not regret my purchase for a second.

If you want to be serious about coffee you need to get a burr grinder. These are normally priced around sixty dollars and may seem expensive at first but it is so worth it. Of course there are cheaper grinders out on the market but those are blade grinders. When you use these you end up with “dull” coffee.

Since I bought mine I look forward to mornings again. I race to the kitchen to grind up what I call my magic beans in my classy grinder.

The best thing about a burr one is you can choose how you want the ground coffee to be. Depending on what you use to brew your coffee you can choose coarser or finer coffee grounds.

If your weapon of choice is a French Press you need a coarse grind and if you make espresso you need a finer grind.

I know you may be thinking who cares but it is the difference between bitter and unappealing coffee and delicious coffee. Good Luck and happy drinking!
