Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder
Thank you, Matthew, for that fantastic review of the Lido 2. It is on our wish list. The Aeropress and Hario Slim grinder arrived yesterday. Holy smokes! The Aeropress makes a wonderful strong shot of almost espresso. The Slim grinder without the catch bin and with a couple of rubber bands fits directly into the Aeropress and does a fine grind very well in a very compact package. The whole family down to our 1 year old loves their coffee strong (all decaf). Can anyone recommend a good travel espresso cup? Wide enough to receive the Aeropress on top? I prefer made in the USA and it needs to be hearty stuff. I've searched and not found much satisfactory. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, March 24, 2014 9:06:43 AM UTC-6, Matthew J wrote: Sure. Been thinking about filing a report but with my second grader attention span every time I come here I get distracted. First, this is definitely not a travel grinder.

I made some micro adjustments the next few grinds until I had it just right. Saturday I bought some different beans (new Brasil harvest is showing up at local stores) that required some adjustments.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder

How long does it take to grind say 1/3 cup of beans in the Porlex grinder? I have nothing against electric burr grinders but don't want to spend the money for one. $40 I can afford.

It does indeed sort of fit inside the aeropress cylinder as well. I usually don't end up doing that, but it works. Also there is definitely a huge difference between grinding right before you brew and waiting days or weeks. Coffee, after you grind it, goes stale in a matter of minutes. There are worse things in the world than stale coffee, but if you want to do it right, grinding right before you brew makes a huge difference. happy brewing! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Most of the manual burr grinders can be operated with a cordless drill if you're in a hurry :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=rWCT9OZioCY Course grinding doesn't take too long, but an espresso grind can take a couple minutes of grinding for 20 grams of beans. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder
Yes, if you look at a blade grinder it just whacks the s*** out of the beans until you stop, so you have a random chance of hitting a large bean or a small shard; this of course means that when you stop, the vast majority of the particles are in the middle (think standard distribution). With a burr grinder, it's more like a go-no go gauge (or high pass/low pass filter, whatever floats your boat): you set the slop between the top and bottom parts and only particles small enough pass through. You'll see a more consistent grind. On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 11:07 AM, Deacon Patrick lamontg...@mac.com wrote: Thanks, George.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder
By the way, it's true the porlex isn't the fastest grinder, but even when I'm making coffee for 4, I don't think to myself (man this is really slowing me down)...

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder
The person in the cube next to my desk and myself share a coffee pot and bean purchasing. We have an electric grinder that puts out quite a bit of noise pollution for 5 other people in the general vicinity. (we are all IT support people in a 20x30ish room). How much effort is required for this burr grinder, assuming hand cranked? Is it a realistic option for replacing the electric grinder? Or is there a better option out there for low-noise coffee bean grinding? FWIW, we use Ruta Maya Dark Roast coffee that I get at Costco. It is roasted here in Austin, Texas from coffee beans grown in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico by a farmers' cooperative. www.rutamaya.net. -Jim On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 1:23 PM, Chris Chen cc...@nougat.org wrote: Yes, if you look at a blade grinder it just whacks the s*** out of the beans until you stop, so you have a random chance of hitting a large bean or a small shard; this of course means that when you stop, the vast majority of the particles are in the middle (think standard distribution).
