Coffee grinders are an important tool in the kitchen. Some even consider it vital. Great tasting coffee doesn’t just give you rich flavors, it can also keep you up and alert all day long. Instead of paying premium for it at local coffee shops, why not get the best at home where it’s affordable? Trust me, it’s easy to prepare.
The best tasting coffee won’t come from foiled packets. To get the most flavors, you should always brew freshly ground beans. The fresher the grounds are the better because it contains the most flavor and aroma before oxidation takes place. Oxidation happens when the coffee grounds interact with air. Some call the oxidized coffee grounds as stale grounds. Either way, they often taste flat. Nobody wants flat coffee.
Coffee grinders can be bought at local department stores for 30 to 400 dollars. The price would vary depending on the features your grinder has. Coffee grinders come in 2 common types. The first is the bladed grinder. Bladed grinders use rotating blades to chop the beans into tiny particles. It’s easier to extract the flavor from smaller grounds but you have to be careful not to prolong your grinding. Rotating blades produce heat when in contact with the beans. Friction and contact heat can burn your coffee beans. Do try grinding it in 5 second durations all the while checking the coffee ground consistency.
The other type of coffee grinder is the burr model. Burr coffee grinders don’t cut the beans but rather grind them with a rotating wheel. There are two types of burr grinders. They’re the conical and the flat grinders. Personally, I like the conical grinders better because they don’t clog up the unit. It’s more efficient and durable. They will cost extra though so be warned. Cheers!
