„If you jump into the $200 range, you can get the 'Capresso 452.02 CoffeeTeam Plus Coffeemaker/Grinder, White' , the Swiss burr grinder, 10-cup capacity, water-filtered, programmable, auto-shut-off, drip wonder. What to look for in drip-style coffeemakers -Auto shut-off switch -Hot-plate temperature control -Water filtration system -Gold filter -Drip-stop function that lets you grab a cup of joe midbrew -Programmable timer so your coffee's ready when you want it -Removable tank for models with water tank or reservoir (not only saves you trips to the tap, but you can run it through the dishwasher from time to time) Filter Pots Filtered coffee amounts to pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a paper cone. Or you can invest in a gold filter, which eliminates the wasted paper as well as any lingering concerns about chemicals used in the paper-making process. Melitta, which developed the cone method, offers both electric drip pots and manually filtered drip pots, ranging from 1 to 10 cups, about $5 to $40.French Presses Boil water.“

Grind Your Own Beans (INeedCoffee.com)
„I scanned the Web and found that there is a superior type of grinder called a "burr" grinder. Burr grinders are better than the spinning blade grinders because the bean goes through the grinder only one time. The beans are loaded into one compartment, proceed through a blade mechanism, and the grounds are then dispersed into a second compartment. This produces a more even grind.“

CoffeeGeek - Zassenhaus Manual Mill - Pat R.'s Review
„I paid about $60 US for this grinder. I have 3 other burr grinders in the $30 to $80 price range, and the Zassenhaus produces far higher quality grounds and much finer grounds than any of the other comparably priced grinders I have used. I am finally able to make consistently good shots on my Gaggia Espresso machine. Prior to acquiring the Zassenhaus, I was unable to do any better than a 10 to 15 second pour on the Gaggia.“

„To extract espresso properly it is essential to use a burr grinder and to grind per order. The two major types of burrs used are flat and conical. Conical burrs are desirable because they increase the surface area of each particle and the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee. Since conical burrs have longer cutting edges, the burrs can rotate at lower speeds which reduces the heat created. Flat burrs should be replaced after 600 pounds of coffee have been ground and conical burrs should be replaced after 2000 pounds of coffee have been ground.“

„They tell me that the grind is the other really important part and the whirly blade grinders make too big of a variety in the grind for good results, but if you don't have a burr grinder (like me...yet) I discovered that to help you get more uniform grounds, put a few more beans in than you will need and after you grind your coffee (15 seconds for drip) put it into a yogurt strainer (3 bucks at your local kitchen specialty store) and keep tapping. The little dust falls out, the smallest ground go to the bottom. Scoop from the yogurt strainer.“
