CoffeeKid - The Nescafe Beginnings (#)
„I went to the Hudson's Bay Co. and bought myself a little Braun blade grinder - the type that is a single chamber and a whirring steel blade. I found a local coffee shop on Preston Street in Ottawa (little Italy, or "the village" to those in the know) that sold expensive and aromatic coffee beans. I went ahead and indulged.“

„This list is by no means complete, and there are other very suitable options on the market I haven't listed here. Apart from the looks there are two important things with a burr grinder - the quality of the burrs and the precision of the adjustment/bearing mechanisms. Ken Wilson has put up some of the old articles from alt.coffee and other sources about modifying grinders (some of which are listed below) to accommodate the espresso fineness required for great shots.“

„Right now, you're lucky if you get two out of three. Here's my idea of the dream machine in three categories - semi auto espresso, super automatic espresso, and grinder.“

„While this is true - you can get a grinder for $15, you have to also realise you get what you pay for. Often people will blow $150 or more on a coffee maker, $12, $15 or more per pound of quality coffee, then they get it ground at the shop they bought it from, or use a blade grinder (aka the whirleyblade or weedwacker grinder) to get the grounds needed to brew.“

CoffeeKid - Rockys and Vacuums
„With the Starbucks Barista grinder on the fritz and me waiting for the replacement to come in on a warranty fix, (the motor shouldn't have seized up, according to Starbucks), I ordered a Rancilio Rocky grinder. It arrived a week later, and I finally put Miss Silvia and Mr. Rocky together.“

CoffeeKid - The subject is coffee!
„The Pro Line makes it to Vancouver, in the shape of the coffee maker, grinder, and for now, a toaster. No espresso machine yet.“
