Burr Coffee Grinder

burr coffee grinder
Coffee connoisseurs: I have a grinder and a machine. Now what?

I was instructed to get a burr grinder and a maker. Now I have them, but I’m not sure about what kind of coffee to get. How do I tell if beans are already roasted? Does it make a difference? I have some beans that I bought a year ago; are they still good? See, I thought that the benefit of getting a grinder was that I could buy whole beans and they would last a lot longer than the pre-ground bags that I had been getting. Was I mistaken? Do beans go bad, too? What is the benefit of having a grinder?

no your right , whole beans will last a lot longer being whole , when you grind them you break up the hard outer kernel that protects all the coffee beans flavor inside. roasted beans are always a brown color , fresh coffee beans come in green and red varieties and don’t become brown until they are slowly roasted for color and flavor. a grinder is a great thing to have . yes beans go bad after about a year , I would buy some new fresh roasted beans for a great cup of coffee.

That’s why there was something of a panic last year when Eric Butler showed everyone how easy it is to hijack Facebook, Twitter and PayPal accounts on open Wi-Fi networks via his FireSheep Firefox add-on.

coffee machine repairs
any good with electronics? can you help me repair a coffee machine?

its a cs 100 (cafe swiss). its a beans to cup espresso maker that no longer seems to pump the water through to the compression part. It produces hot water and steam through the milk frother but when i try a rinse cycle it buzzes for a second or two but no water comes through.

They sell a commercial coffee pot cleaner, the same place you buy the machines and filters.You simply disolve the powdre in water and run it through. Run that through a few times until it is cleared, and once a month afterwards.

Commercial Coffee Equipment

commercial coffee equipment
Starting a donut and coffee shop, need equipment!?

We already have a storefront commercial location in Tallapoosa, Ga. We are wanting to start a donut and coffee shop and don’t know where to look for equipment that won’t break the bank. We need an automatic electric donut making machine and coffee making equipment asap as we have cleared out the space for this idea. We are close to the Ga. / Ala. line and would rather not travel across the country to find what we need. Certified good used or new if the price is right. Thanks for the previous help with past questions, Matt

Try to look into Craiglist in your area. Or take a look on eBay.
Sometimes, you may be surprised at what you may find.
Good Luck!

Rancilio Coffee Machine

rancilio coffee machine
first shot of coffee spitting out of machine?

I have a Rancilio single group coffee machine. Nearly always the first shot I make spits out of the filter and is bitter and unusable with no crema. The second one is nearly always perfect. I have the right grinder setting, amount in the filter, correct pressure, etc. Could it be too hot or something? This doesn’t happen on more “professional” machines I use. Anyone have this problem or know how to solve it? I’m sick of wasting coffee! Cheers.

Better to contact its company
It is different for different companies
good luck
