Coffee Espresso Grinders Questions
Exactly What You Must Recognize Concerning Your Coffee Bean Grinder
The main decision to think about before purchasing a coffee bean grinder is whether to buy the less expensive blade grinder or a more expensive burr plate grinder. Blade grinders are most popular for first time users, are less expensive than burr plate grinders and can be found at most stores. Burr plate grinders are usually sold at specialty stores, cost a bit more but produce a finer, more consistent ground of coffee. In order to purchase the correct one, check with your coffee maker to see what type of coffee ground it uses.
The difference between a blade grinder and a burr blade grinder are the way they actually grind the coffee beans. A blade grinder slices the beans into smaller and smaller particles while a burr plate grinder actually pulverizes the beans into a more powdery consistency. This makes the grounds to be more consistent and smoother. In order to maximize the effectiveness of a blade grinder, a few jostles to the grinder while grinding can help keep larger pieces of coffee beans from becoming stuck in places that the blades can miss. This is not necessary with a burr grinder which usually have a number of settings that enable the beans to be ground to perfection.
Burr grinders are easy to use with just the press of a button. The button on the blade grinder needs to be depressed intermittently in order to get the beans moving around inside the container. If a coarse grind is preferred, then the button should be pressed up to ten seconds at two second intervals. A medium grind would be ten to fourteen seconds with a two to three second interval and for a medium grind, and keeping the intervals at two to three seconds for up to twenty seconds for a smaller, finer grind. The amounts can be adjusted for personal taste.
A coarse grind is usually the desired consistency called for when using a classic pot, drip and plunger types of coffee makers. A fine grind is what would be used in the making of a cup of espresso. After the coffee is ground, you can usually measure out the scoops of coffee and then put them into the coffee filter. The ratio is usually two to one, one tablespoon of coffee to two cups of water. If making six cups of coffee, then three tablespoons of coffee would be placed into the coffee filter and six cups of water would be poured into the water chamber. If using a burr plate grinder, many come with measurements and there is no need to use a tablespoon prior to pouring the coffee into the coffee maker.
Freshly ground whole beans retain their flavor for just a couple of days after grinding, but if used immediately the difference between all ready ground coffee and fresh is noticeable. Ground coffee purchased in a grocery store may have been sitting on a shelf for days if not longer and unless dated, there is no way to know exactly when the coffee was ground. While grinding coffee at home takes just a couple of minutes longer, it is easy to grind the correct amount for that day or grind enough for the next day as well and knowing exactly when it was done.
Grinding beans at home is really the only way to guarantee the freshest cup of coffee. After using a coffee bean grinder to grind fresh coffee beans at home, and tasting how much better fresh ground coffee is it will be difficult to go back to purchasing all ready ground coffee again. And while a blade grinder is a good initial investment, easy to use and portable, a burr plate grinder may be something to consider in the next future. A burr plate grinder can take the freshly ground coffee consumer to the next level of coffee enjoyment.
