There was a time when the flavored coffee bean did not have too many takers as it was believed that ‘real’ coffee drinkers would never ruin the taste of good coffee by adding any flavoring to it. In fact, true coffee aficionados even scoff at people who add sugar or milk to their coffee as this is apparently the worst thing that you can do to coffee. But wait a minute! I thought coffee is just a drink (albeit an amazing one), and should not it be enjoyed exactly as you please?

If you want to be skinny and healthy, you need to let go of your gross vices. While there are many gross vices to eliminate, coffee, cheese, and refined sugar are certainly on the top of the list.

Coffee lovers will tell you that the best coffee comes from beans grounded immediately before the coffee is brewed. Old Time coffee drinkers know this by heart. That’s why No kitchen is complete without a coffee grinder. Waking up in the morning and grinding up a fresh batch of coffee beans and throwing it into the coffee maker and then anticipating that first sip of fresh hot coffee! Now that is the good life!

What Makes a Great Coffee Grinder?

When it comes to coffee grinders, there to basic types. One is called burr grinders and the other is called blade grinders. The difference between these two is basically how the beans are processed. Blade coffee grinders use a spinning blade to grind up the coffee beans. Burr grinders use burrs to grind up coffee beans. Burrs resemble plates with gears on them. One of the burrs is stationary, while the other one spins and grinds up the coffee beans.

The most amazing fact about the coffee beans is the trees having an expansion over 70 countries, from Brazil to Indonesia, still requiring a narrow range of conditions to produce those quality ‘beans’, while the total output remains small at large.

‘Beans’ as it is said so, is however a deliberate attempt to mark it in a single-quote, for the thing that gets ground and roasted to brew up the delicious drink is a seed and not a bean at all.

The coffee tree, which can easily grow up to twenty feet or more than that, bears the fruits that contain the coffee seeds. However some wild varieties of coffee trees can grow to over 15m or 45 feet. Most of the seeds are in pairs except for the Peaberry, which produces only one. It’s quite like a cranberry, at the outer there is a membrane called silverskin with a sweet pulp inside it.
