Grinding coffee in your own kitchen gives you the opportunity to touch and smell the beans and sense the sweetness, acidity, flavor and aroma of the cup. The coffee you make is rich and fresh, and the aroma that fills the room is a great way to start the new day. There are tools and appliances that sit on the kitchen table all day and are greatly appreciated.
They may be different from the ones someone else prefers, but they probably include several of the following: a coffee maker with a built-in grinder or a stand-alone coffee grinder, a blender, a juicer or food processor, a set of high-quality knives, and a radio.
The choice of grinders is wide. Antique cylindrical grinders. Manual grinders that you place over a bowl to collect the ground coffee. Hand cranked grinders with a drawer under the blade for the ground coffee. The mortar and handle coffee grinder is another antique version that requires manual strength and patience to grind the coffee. Other types of coffee grinders include electric and hand-operated models with cone or disc grinders.
The history of coffee grinders dates back to the Middle Ages, Turkey, Persia and Greece. Coffee beans were roasted in small saucers over a fire. A cylindrical grinder was used to grind the coffee. The hand-cranked mill was quite simple in design. The top part had a removable lid to put the coffee beans into the main body. The main body was in the shape of a cylinder.
The grinder inside ground the coffee beans. The ground coffee fell into a bowl or plate. The coffee grounds were transferred to another vessel for brewing. The grinders were modified over time. For example, two conical spouts were added. One was attached to the grinder and the other to the bottom of the case with a screw. The lower container held the ground coffee. In this way, Turkish hand coffee grinder is still used by millions of people in Turkey and abroad.
For some lovers and connoisseurs of the deep L, antique coffee grinders are a must in their homes. This does not mean that you have to look for such a coffee grinder in flea markets or old-fashioned stores, if you are one of them. Of course, you can do that if you prefer. However, well-known coffee grinder manufacturers have caught on to the trend and now offer a wide range of coffee grinders that look truly antique. They retain the look and feel of antique coffee grinders, but are equipped with modern enhancements that ensure fine, high-quality grinding for great tasting coffee. Some of the brands for antique style gourmet coffee grinders include Bodum, Universal, and Jablum, to name a few.
Of course, you don't necessarily have to use an antique coffee grinder to grind your beans. When it comes to modern coffee grinders, there are many alternatives that will satisfy even the most demanding L-lover. Burr grinders are probably the best choice for grinding coffee at home.
They usually have two different rotating surfaces between which the beans are ground. The style, size, shape of the rollers and other features vary from model to model. Why use a burr grinder? Unlike blade grinders, burr grinders grind coffee almost frictionlessly, which means the beans release maximum flavor oils, resulting in a fresh and great cup of coffee.
Burr grinders are available as either manually operated or automatic grinders. The choice is entirely up to you. The manual process is not really lengthy. Usually, manual grinding takes about 5 minutes for a typical pot size of 8 to 12 cups. However, this can be impractical if you are pressed for time. Regardless of whether you choose a manual or automatic grinder, the coffee will be ground evenly, which is great for great tasting coffee. Bodum, Capresso and Breville are examples of available coffee grinders with grinders.
