Do you grind your own coffee?!
Answers: If so, what beans do you use and what kind of grinder?
Hi, grinding on your own would give you the freshest coffee. For the choice of beans, it really depends on your taste profile. I would recommend medium roast although currently, a survey just shown that folks around the world actually prefers dark roast.
For grinder, if possible always use a burr. This is because, most burr comes with gear reducing that grind slower. The slower grind lessen the heat produced and preserved the full aroma of your beans.
Hmm...if I would to recommend a grinder, then it would be Baratza virtuoso. Their anti-satic is pretty good and it means easier cleaning after the grind!:)
i have in the past to see if I could get a perfect latte it didn't make a difference so now I don't. I used espresso beans. I can't remember the brand of grinder......?
no i usualy buy it, its fast and easy when you dont have time!!
I like dark French roast or Sumatran, and I use a Krups blade grinder.
I use Kona beans and a Cuisenart grinder.
I had to stop drinking coffee. Bummer...I loved it.
I don't know about what kind of grinder to use, but I can definitely tell you this. Fresh ground coffee is way better than pre-ground. If you love coffee, you owe it to yourself to do this little ritual every time you have a cup! Use good coffee filters and water too.
French Roast mainly with a blade grinder but if I was buying a new grinder it wouldn't be the blade type, you don't get an even grind, by the time the last of the beans is ground the first ones are powder.
Ebeneezer - thanks for the link, I may just have to get one of these.
My hubby grinds his own. He gets Starbucks French roast beans. He used to blade grind, but then got a burr grind. The burr grinder coffee maker died in 3 days (Cuisinart!), so we got a Mill and Brew blade grind. It's so much better.
not yet, but plan to very soon.
We get organic, shade-grown coffee from Thanksgiving Coffee.
We grind it in an Ultimate Chopper, so I suppose that means a blade kind of grinder.
No, the easier way is to get it from the store. You can try different brands and choose which you like most.
no
nah, I leave that to Dowe and Egburts, they do it better!!!!!
