Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder


While I love any and all coffee, there is just something even more special about freshly ground coffee that just gets my senses up and going.  While this isn't something that I do very often, I know some of you are curious about grinding your own coffee and may even be curious as to which coffee grinder is my preferred weapon of choice.  Well that would be the Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder.  Let me tell you a little about it:

This small but powerful coffee grinder has three grind settings: Fine, Medium and Coarse to grind your coffee just the way you like. The exclusive chamber maid clears grounds from the chamber walls. Grind 4-12 cups for brewing. The press and pour wide opening lid makes fill and dispensing easier and less messy.

Dishwasher-Safe top and grinding chamber for easy cleaning. With its auto off feature it automatically stops when grounds are ideally prepared. The convenient cleaning mechanism clears grounds from the side of the grinding chamber after each use for no messy residue and less coffee waste.

It easily adjusts for different cup settings with its easy touch buttons operates with the touch of a button.


 And it features built in cord storage in the back to neatly tuck away the cord when not in use for a tidy kitchen. Small and compact at eight inches high and three 7/8 top diameter this item is compact enough to take with you on your travels or to help maintain roomy counter top in your kitchen or break room with its 120 Vac 60 HZ 130W motor it’s powerful enough to take on any coffee bean.

Review

This thing is fast and that’s perfect for us we are busy parents who can’t survive without our morning cup my beans are ground in seconds and I think its easy to clean up, I like that the buttons light up so I can see them when I am half asleep in the morning and that it only requires one finger to operate since most of the others are busy with getting the kids ready in the morning.


I would recommend it to anyone I am very satisfied with it and it has earned a permanent place alongside my coffee pot every morning.

Debating Keurig

I have been doing a little debating lately. As much as I love my coffee, and there is proof by how many various coffee makers I own (and no I am not planning to part with any of them) I still do not own a Keurig Brewing System.  I am thinking about whether or not this would be a good investment. I saw a blog on Keurig by a friend of mine today that got me to thinking about Keurig again.

So I visited the site that she had linked to and I saw that they have several of the different models. I'm thinking that I might want to get one to use in my office at work.  I tend to not like the whole idea of a communal coffee pot. The coffee is never consistent in these situations. And it just offends my tastebuds when I get a cup that is either way too strong or the opposite, entirely too weak.

I think that one of the Keurig Mini Plus brewing systems might be just what I'm needing to remedy this situation.  I prefer the platinum one.  It has a very sleek smooth look to it.  And since I'll be the only one using this coffee pot at work, I think that the Mini would be perfect for my needs.  Also the variety of the K-cups is just amazing.  I think I might work my way up to trying all the different flavors, they even have teas. Which is perfect for me since I also enjoy the occasional cup of tea.

I'll let you know how it goes with this new coffee maker along with which flavors I try and what I think of them.  I'm going to go place my order now, I just talked myself into getting one!
