Why a Krups coffee bean grinder?
Nothing can beat that fresh brewed cup of coffee in the morning. Nothing wakes you up and gets you ready for your day than that soul warming first sip of caffeinated love in the morning. A Krups coffee bean grinder can get you closer to that perfect cup!
If you’re still with me, then you probably want to think about a Krups coffee bean grinder to make that morning coffee even better… yeah, I said better.
If you use a coffee bean grinder just before you brew, your coffee will be enhanced. When coffee is ground, it releases oils inside the bean. Those oils are what give off that wonderful smell that even people who don’t like coffee love.
Why Krups?
Krups is a trusted brand in the coffee world. Krups has been in business since 1846 as a maker of precision scales
They have been making coffee bean grinders since the early 20th century when they introduced their first grinder the “Mokka.” In the 1950s they created one of the first espresso machines to use a pressure valve to extract espresso.
As recently as the 1980s, Krups released the ‘Esperto.’ The Krups Esperto is a fully automatic espresso machine that could grind, tamp and brew espresso with the push of a button.
Krups has been in the coffee business for longer than most and they know how to manufacture a solid piece of coffee making equipment. If you’re looking for something you can trust, a Krups coffee bean grinder may be the way to go.
Predominant types of coffee bean grinders
There are two main types of coffee bean grinders: blade grinders and burr grinders. Both will get you what you need, they just do it in different ways.
Blade Grinders
When you think of a blade grinder, the easiest way to think of them is to think about a food processor with its spinning blades chopping everything up. That is the same way a coffee blade grinder works.
How you should use a blade grinder for coffee
- Add your whole coffee beans – measure out your whole coffee beans (include a little extra–more on this later) and put them in the top of the blade grinder
- Cover the top of the grinder – be sure the top is on tight. The blades will be spinning shortly and the coffee could make a mess if the cover is not on tightly.
- Press the button for a specific period of time – There will be a button on the top of the front of the coffee blade grinder. You want to press the button for given period of time. Just like a food processor, the amount of time the blades spin specifies the size of the grind. The grind will go from course to find the longer you press the button.
Why the extra beans?
Consider the fact that when you measure the larger whole beans, there will be more space between the beans. Once the whole coffee beans have been ground down, there is far less space and as a result you may not have as much ground coffee as you need.
Adding a little bit more whole beans will help to ensure you have what you need to brew your coffee.
Experiment with grind times
It may take you a little while to get the hand of how long to grind the beans. Remember, you can always grind for longer, you can never grind for shorter time!
Burr Grinders
Burr grinders are a bit different. instead of a food processor, think of a coin sorting machine. The burr grinder is set for you level of grind, and once the coffee is ground to that size it will fall through the grinder into the collection vessel.
Many burr grinders have a hopper on top and as the burr grinder runs, the beans fall down from the top through the burrs and into the vessel at the bottom.
So, like the blade grinder, you want to think about how long the grind should run for. But unlike the blade grinder, where time relates to grind size, with a burr grinder time is related to the amount of ground coffee at the end.
Krups Coffee Bean Grinder Offerings
Krups offers three different coffee bean grinders. You might assume that because burr coffee bean grinders are widely considered better that they would offer more burr coffee grinders. That would make since, but they offer two blade grinders and one burr grinder. Well, take a look at the offerings and I think you’ll understand why…
