Capresso 565 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder

Breakfast Blend — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:56:41 +0000

For grinding larger quantities of coffee beans for a coffee-drinking crowd, Capresso's commercial-grade Infinity grinder handles 8-1/2 ounces of beans at a time. Sixteen different settings--four each in the four categories of extra fine, fine, regular, and coarse--let you adjust the grind to the specific blend of coffee and method of brewing. The finest setting is ideal for preparing Turkish coffee, which is a rare feature to find in a grinder. A built-in timer sets the grind for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds so you can walk away without having to constantly press a button to continue the grinding process. The Infinity has an advanced conical burr design made of steel that is usually only found on commercial grinders. This burr design slows down the gears and reduces the amount of friction and heat to preserve coffee's flavor and aroma. The coffee container holds up to 4 ounces of grounds and remains sealed during grinding. For safety, the bean container also needs to be locked into place for the Infinity to operate. For easy cleaning, the bean container and upper burr lift off so you can clean the grinding chamber with the included brush and wipe down the heavy-duty zinc die-cast housing. The 100-watt burr grinder measures 7-2/3 by 5-2/5 by 10-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill (CCM-16PC1)

Breakfast Blend — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:30:52 +0000

A stylish grinder for the serious coffee buff, this Cuisinart Supreme Grind automatic burr mill provides plenty of options and good results in an attractive and tidy structure. This makes it a great appliance for houses where coffee is a steady dietary staple and preferences vary from espresso to French drip. Outfitted with a heavy-duty motor, the machine has 18 grind settings ranging from fine to extra-coarse, which are controlled by a clearly marked, pleasantly clicking dial. Rotate the hopper to personal preference, and the machine does the rest, using burr plates for a highly uniform grind that protects bean oils and releases more flavor. Automatic operation in this grinder covers quantity as well--simply set the amount slide control anywhere from 4 to 18 cups. The grinder shuts off when the desired level is reached. Transfer of ready grounds to a coffee pot or espresso group is quick and tidy, because the grind chamber slides out with its clever lid in place. Smart and elegant, the grinder has brushed stainless steel housing and black accents in durable plastic. The hopper, hopper lid, grinding burr, and grind chamber all remove easily for cleanup, and a safety feature keeps the grinder from operating without the hopper and chamber in place. Standing 6-3/4 by 9-3/4 by 5 inches, the unit has built-in power cord storage at its base. Cuisinart includes a coffee scoop/cleaning brush in one and covers the machine with an 18-month warranty.

And, with 67% LESS ACID than coffee made by conventional hot brew methods, it's easier on sensitive stomachs.

Fantastic International Coffee Review

Breakfast Blend — Thu, 27 May 2010 12:55:14 +0000

Brazil

Coffee from Brazil is very famous, and for a good reason. It’s amazing!

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, but it’s not really considered as the best quality coffee producer. Newer blends are starting to change this, and if it catches on Brazil could be seen as a quality producer of coffee.

The latest Brazil blend includes a fantastic mix of acidic and full dark bodily flavor. This is a wonderful drink for everyone.

America

These beans aren’t grown in the USA, however they are blends which are designed for an American taste. These are specifically designed to be drunk at breakfast. They are subtle and not too overpowering.

These blends of coffee are a mix of medium roasted Columbian beans and Central American beans. These are not over powering but at the same time taste nice.

Steep & Brew sell a nice coffee option which tastes a little fruity. You can get blends of coffee which are suitable for many different things.

Ethiopia

This is where coffee is thought to of originally come from, they are always improving the ways in which they produce their beans.

One coffee producer produces a very dark coffee with a fruity tang which some people love. Other regions produce dry beans which are full of flavor.

If you want the beans to make an espresso then you should consider the Belle Espresso as these are perfect for espressos. The beans are blended from five regions which creates an interesting brew.

Nicaragua

This may be small however they produce a lot of coffee. Nicaragua coffee has a lovely smell and full bodied taste. This will make you long for your next cup!

Panama

This is another popular coffee producing country, many of these beans are fruity and flowered. The taste is a little acidic and tastes like a dream!

Hawaii

If you love coffee then you should find a reason to visit Hawaii! The Java Berry estate is a wonderful trip! They offer blends of berries which have a full bodied flavor. If you like to drink your coffee straight then you should get this coffee.

Sumatra
Not everyone appreciates the taste of Indonesian coffee. It is much more expensive than it used to be due to the natural disasters. It has a natural tartness which you either love or you hate!

If you love coffee then you should check out the organic Sumatra reserve. This tastes a little like chocolate and is much sweeter than other blends of coffee. Although it was grown in a jungle you would be excused for thinking it was from a tropical island!

Where ever you live, if you like coffee then use it as an excuse to see a bit more of the world! Go all around the world looking at and tasting exquisite cups of coffee, what could be better than that?

Starbucks Coffee Company

Breakfast Blend — Wed, 26 May 2010 20:35:04 +0000

Starbucks Coffee Company was founded in 1971 by three businessmen in Seattle, Washington who had a love for coffee and tea. It was important to them that the city of Seattle to have access their coffee.

The Starbucks Coffee Company grew slowly but by 1981 had 4 retail stores and a roasting plant that sold whole bean coffee in Seattle only.

By 1983 the marketing manager had a vision of re-creating the magic and romance behind the Italian coffee bar and wanted to test out the concept of selling espresso by the cup. When Starbucks Coffee opened its 6th store in downtown Seattle, the idea had become a hit. Within 2 months the new store was serving over 700 customers a day and it was selling 3 times more than the whole bean locations.

In 1987, the owners of Starbucks Coffee Company decided to sell their coffee business along with the name to a group of local investors for $3.7 million.

The new investors were told that they would open 125 Starbucks coffee stores in the next five years. Starting from a base of 17 stores in 1987, the company expanded rapidly to Vancouver, Portland and Chicago.

By 1991 Starbucks had expanded into the mail-order catalogue business, licensed airport stores and expanded further into the state of California.

In 1992 the company went public and after the initial public offering, Starbucks continued to grow at a phenomenal pace that no one had ever seen in the coffee world before. By 1997 the number of Starbucks Coffee stores grew tenfold, with locations in the US, Japan and Singapore.

Starbucks initiated several successful product and brand extensions including offering coffee on United Airlines flights. They also began selling premium teas through its Tazo Tea Company and offering people the option to purchase starbucks coffee online to enjoy at home.

They began distributing whole bean and ground coffee to supermarkets through an agreement with Kraft Foods. They also produced premium coffee ice cream with Dreyers. Starbucks even sold CDs in its retail stores.

Starbucks began turning its name into a household word not through advertising but through word of mouth. In fiscal 2004, Starbucks opened a record 1,344 stores worldwide. The once small regional roaster, Starbucks Coffee Company, now has more than 9,000 locations in 34 countries serving over 20 million customers a week.
