Everyone Wants A Coffee Grinder
Posted March 21st, 2011 by adminUsing the best coffee grinder is among the most critical elements to creating tasty coffee. Most people choose a great automatic coffee maker and then buy old stale pre-ground coffee to put in it. I’ve yet to meet anyone that can’t be persuaded of the advantage of fresh ground coffee after a quick taste test. The change in taste, aroma, and flavor from old ground to fresh ground is simply astounding.
How Come Fresh Grinding Coffee Really Make A Difference?
If you don’t have a coffee grinder, go get one. A properly roasted coffee bean can be a complex blend of components. Those aroma’s that you smell when it’s fresh ground are what are lacking from the cup after ground coffee sits for too long. Roast too little and the oils are never created. Roast too long and they become burn. Imagine oil in a frying pan. There is a fine line between the proper oil temperature and blackened burnt oil. It’s the same way with coffee.
Those coffee oils only stay around for so long. Once ground most of the oils that give coffee it’s great flavor are GONE in thirty minutes. Where do they go? Evaporated into the air..
Grinding your coffee right before making it will give you the greatest results. Freezing or air sealing your coffee right after you grind it can slow down the process, the only way to save all that great coffee flavor is to brew it immediately.
The right way to achieve real coffee shop flavor at home is by starting with the best coffee grinder. If you are buying high end or expensive coffee pre-ground, you are likely wasting your money.
