Cheers though. I wouldn't mind one of them but the water isn't hot enough! It needs a 30 second boost in the microwave! My mother in law has one and the coffee tastes better (than) instant but just not hot enough! |
Re: Coffee
I was going to try out our French Press today and grind some beans for it. F**kn grinder won't work. Admittedly, I haven't used the grinder for a while, but it hasn't been used much. It's a Cuisinart one. Has any one got any suggestions for a decent electric coffee grinder that will last.

Re: Coffee
Also have a Braun, but if were to get a new one I would go with a burr grinder of some description as it produces a more consistent grind, with the blade grinder that I have now 10% of the bean goes to waste as powder. The Burr grinders eliminate that.
Check out http://www.coffeegeek.com/reviews/grinders for some good reviews. |

Blimey, I never thought choosing and making coffee could be so complicated...

It's a full time job. That is why I'll be retiring soon, to devote more time to coffee and other life ceremonies.

Can anyone recommend some really tasty ground coffee? I've tried a bunch and quite a lot of them are sour and nasty. And considering people round here think that Dunkin Donuts makes nice coffee leads me to seek outside advice.
And nothing stupidly expensive, or something that has been crapped through an animal first please. |

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. I was contrasting a French Press (hard to eliminate at least some sediment) with making coffee using filter cone and paper filter, which eliminates sediment. I take your point though, that some French Presses are better at eliminating sediment than others..
My recommendation is French Press & grind the beans each morning with a burr grinder, a blade "grinder" doesn't grind but chops the beans in to irregular sized bits which will effect the taste. Oh and only drink Peets - everything else is beyond sub par. |

The trouble with using paper filters is they also filter out the natural oils in the bean so you end up with a bitter taste.

Oh and only drink Peets - everything else is beyond sub par. Problem is there are so many variables with coffee. For about two years I've ordered four pounds a month of beans from Zabars in NYC. Usually it is just right, but about 10% of the time it is crap.
