Get a Grinder NOW!

Of all the things that surprise me, the one that always blows my mind is people who say they love coffee, and they do not own a grinder or a machine that grinds for them. What does grinder give you:

• Freshness of grind. If you are passionate about coffee then you probably already know how important freshness of coffee bean is, so you are checking that you coffee is roasted fresh, but do you know that 50% of you aroma is gone within the first 3 hours of grinding you coffee. If you purchase packaged coffee and they have added a gas or a valve then that pushes it to a few days, but still it is stale. And the worst part about that is you pay the same money for stale product
  
• Fineness of grind, matching grind fineness to the method of brew is one of the important steps toward the perfect brew. Only a French press or Boduim is compatible with the blade grinder, since consistency is not that critical
  
• Choice of coffee, when you can grind your own coffee you can select your own coffee, and better still get away from blends that mash the unique flavours knowing most coffee drinkers are purchasing pre ground so that coffee produces and drop the quality of the coffee they place in their blends
  
• Storage of the coffee beans, since you are now only using coffee beans, you can store them for longer. And we have found no side effects from taking well roasted coffee out of the freezer and adding it direct to the grinder. Since a well roasted coffee bean has the flavours still in tact and contained in the bean, and the roasting method essentially removes all traces of water, freezing preserves rather than destroys.
  

So if you consider your self a connoisseur and you do not own a grinder what are you waiting for get one now. And make sure it is a burr grinder, which produces consistent grind.
