Tips For Choosing The Right Coffee Grinder

For coffee enthusiasts, coffee grinding is more than just a process, it is an experience. The coffee grinder is more than just a device that you use for grinding. It also affects the taste of your final brew. But how do you know which one to choose when there are so many coffee grinders available? Here are a few tips that will help you choose the right coffee grinder for you.
The type of grinder is on top of the list. You can find automatic or electric as well as manual or hand coffee grinders in the market. These come in a variety of materials such as ceramic and steel, to name a few. But what you really have to look at is whether it’s a blade or a burr type grinder. Blade types tend to have an inconsistent grind but are good enough for those who want to enjoy freshly ground coffee. Burr type grinders either use a flat blade or a conical blade that result to a more precise grinding. You have a finer and more consistent grind that is ideal for those who are particular about their coffee.
When it comes to price, blade grinders are less expensive compared to burr grinders. Having more features also affect the price that is why you have to check if you really want a coffee grinder that has a lot of settings and provides you with more control versus one that just has the basic settings. Among the features you would have to consider include choosing doser over the doserless variety or choosing stepped over stepless adjustments.
The availability of counter space you have in your kitchen is another factor that you should consider. Home kitchens have a smaller counter space compared to coffee shops. You surely don’t want a coffee grinder that takes up too much space. When deciding what to buy, consider how frequent you would be using the coffee grinder and whether you will be keeping it on the counter or storing it away after use. It will also help to know the dimensions of the coffee grinder so you can compare this with your counter or your kitchen cabinets.
Maintenance and care for coffee grinders also differ depending on its type. Blade grinders are easy to clean while burr grinders require more maintenance and care. In the same way, manual or hand grinders are easier to maintain. But more importantly, check the warranty that comes with the device as well as how and where you can have it serviced if it needs to be repaired.
The capacity of the grinder is something to consider if you frequently need to grind coffee beans. If you don’t have to frequently use the grinder or if it’s just for home use, it would be best to choose one that has a smaller capacity. Large capacity grinders are ideal for those in the coffee business.

Whichever coffee grinder you choose the important thing is that it meets your needs and that you are enjoying your cup of coffee. And there is no better way to enjoy it than knowing that it was brewed according to just how you like it.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
