Every coffee lover out there loves fresh ground coffee, no matter what kind it is. There’s just something special and wonderful about freshly ground coffee that brings a smile as that first whiff floats through the house or coffee shop. In order to enjoy the special flavor of fresh ground coffee, one usually has to own some sort of coffee grinder. Gone are the days of the tiny little box with the turning wheel on top. Today, a coffee grinder can cost hundred of dollars, if not more.
A great tasting cup of coffee is produced from whole coffee that’s ground within a few minutes of brewing, and it doesn’t matter what kind of coffee bean is used, whether it’s an exotic blend or French Vanilla or a Columbian blend. Whole coffee beans can be caffeinated or decaffeinated. The reason why coffee tastes so much better when it’s just been through a coffee grinder, is that within two minutes, or so the experts claim, the coffee beans begin to oxidize, which is referred to in coffee circles as ‘staling’, which is what changes the flavor. Most experts agree that the sooner you brew your coffee after you put it through a coffee grinder, the better your coffee will taste.
How do you grind coffee? There are different types of coffee grinder models out there, some with a blade and some with a burr. A coffee grinder fitted with a blade is less expensive than a burr coffee grinder. A fan-shaped blade spins to grind the coffee beans. However, with a blade coffee grinder, grains are inconsistent unless you grind the coffee to a finer texture, which is fine if you’re making an automatic drip coffee maker.
If you want espresso, this method doesn’t work out too well. A burr coffee grinder is the best, as it crushes the coffee beans in a consistent manner that allows for a uniform grind. Of course, a burr coffee grinder can be either an electric style or a hand-cranked style. Both work equally well, though of course the electric coffee grinder will take less time. Still, the hand-cranked coffee grinder is ideal for those who like to take the time to enjoy handling the coffee and savor the aroma while grinding. A hand-crank coffee grinder is also portable, which makes it ideal for taking along on camping trips or when RV’ing.
A burr style coffee grinder can cost someone anywhere from $75 to $400, depending on how fancy you want to get. It doesn’t really matter what kind of coffee grinder you purchase as long as it does the job it’s supposed to do. You don’t have to spend a fortune for a good cup of coffee when a bit of patience will get you the same results. Many people enjoy grinding their own coffee, and whether you own a blade or a burr coffee grinder, you’re going to enjoy a better cup of coffee no matter which style you use.
Your parents and your parents’ parents may have been satisfied with the typical coffee day after day, month after month, and year after year, but it’s the 21st century! There’s no reason that you should have to be limited to the same type of coffee day in and day out. From adding flavored creamers to your coffee to adding a dollup of whipped cream to the top, nothing compares to grinding your own beans and trying different types of coffee beans.
Although there are thousands of variations of the coffee plant, there are two main coffee species that are used commercially for a large amount of the coffee you gulp – Coffea arabica, and Coffea canephora (also called or known as robusta.) Of the two, Arabica offers a richer full taste. Robusta coffee beans can be quite bitter in particular cases and are occasionally used for some espressos.
Arabica is more difficult to produce and takes more funds during the process. Robusta is still a popular favorite because it’s a lot cheaper to create.
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Blend Grown atop Blue Mountain in Jamaica, this coffee can sell for more than $25/pound. Known as JBM in short, the government of Jamaica stringently monitors who can add the JBM label to their coffee in the nation, ensuring that it’s the coffee people recognize and have grown to love.
Kona Coffee Blend Cultivated in Hawaii, this coffee is said to compare to JBM, but is available at a lower price. It’s a rich and robust coffee that’s dark and full of complex flavors.
Coffee Blending Beside just using coffee beans from one type of plant from one area, some coffee you can purchase at shops or at home is a mixture of two or more distinct kinds of beans. In fact, conventional everyday coffee is a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans. If you have a coffee bean grinder, you can create your own blends at home.
Your Style, Your Coffee Whatsoever way you decide to go (we didn’t even get to talk about the different methods of roasting that can influence the taste of your coffee), mixing it up with your coffee can make a average every day experience something a little extra unusual. And when it comes to something as great as coffee, if you can make it even a little better, it’s going to be even more unbelievable.
