Tips on Coffee - Overview of Coffee Grinders (#)

  „Usually they are called Coffee Mills. We prefer the second type of coffee grinder; the Burr-Mill type grinder. First of all; it does not alter the flavour of the coffee beans. The blade type will actually scorch the beans adding a burnt taste.“

:: Dealing With Decaf ::

  „Ewan goes into technical mode. "Arabica coffee beans are circulated in flavour-charged water. This is water saturated with coffee flavour components. Flavour-charged water circulation is unique to the Swiss Water process and prevents most of the flavour compounds within the beans from dissolving during decaffeination, whilst at the same time the caffeine from the beans is absorbed into the surrounding liquid." So far, so wet.“

International Coffee Organization

  „The plunger method, said to have been invented in 1933, extracts the most flavour from the ground beans. The pot is warmed, coarsely ground coffee is placed in the bottom, hot water is added to the grounds and stirred, then it is allowed to steep for three to five minutes, before the plunger is pushed down to separate the coffee grounds from the coffee infusion. This method is only slightly less convenient than the filter method and is today one of the two fastest growing ways to make fresh ground coffee. Cheaper pot models have nylon rather than stainless steel mesh to separate the grounds from the infusion, but they do not last as long.“

Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER

  „Roasted, gassing coffee smells good. Ground coffee does not necessarily smell like the roasted beans before they were ground. Bad smelling grounds make bad coffee.“

Frustration (INeedCoffee.com)

  „“A” try was enough to realize that this streetside vendor type of arrangement does not hold much hope. But, what can you make of it when coffee shops (even the place where I buy my quality beans) also give you a version of espresso whose crema is about a half millimeter deep? I have tried telling them to go light on the water, but still get long (or even very long) espresso that is incapable of leaving a filmy stain on the cup when I’m done drinking. Many of these coffee shops are manned by 16-year-old kids.“
