Grinding The Right Out Of Your Coffee

By Sarkozy Wilkinson


A fable tells a story about a herdsman in Ethiopia named Kaldi who discovered that his goats were extra restless after eating a berry plant. He drank the decoction from the berry fruits and made himself awake all night long.. That's just one of the legends about the discovery of coffee. But established documents reveal that in the 15th century, coffee was initially made in a monastery in Yemen. From the Middle East, it spread throughout Europe in the 1600s.

At some point, coffee has been cultivated in Latin America and the farms supplied almost half of the world's coffee in the 18th and nineteenth centuries. Now, coffee is exported largely from third world countries.Coffee has become one of the most favored drinks in the world, not just for its stimulating caffeine content but also for other benefits.

Coffee is believed to contain antioxidants that fight cancer and other diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. Research also shows that coffee drinkers have quicker cognitive functions at school or work. But a lot of people drink coffee not because of its beneficial effects but simply for its distinctly invigorating taste.To make a great tasting coffee, you should have newly roasted beans which were ground on the same day and brewed with distilled water with the ideal temperature.

The quality of your coffee also depends on the texture of the ground roasted beans. For home-made espresso, a coffee burr grinder is just perfect to get the right fineness. The wheel and the conical grinders are the two varieties of burr coffee grinders.. The wheel grinder is quicker but messier compared to a conical coffee burr grinder which rotates slower and more accurate, but the costly one.

You can already buy reliable burr coffee grinders at a price of $100 to $600. That price range is just enough if you wanted an appliance to grind your coffee in the right quality. . The grinder that you want may also depend on the quantity of coffee you process at home.. There are a lot of options from online stores where you can find the one that you need at a good price.
