Review: Maestro Plus Grinder by Baratza

-






*Maestro:

1.
an eminent composer, teacher, or conductor of music: Toscanini and other great maestros.
2.
(initial capital letter) a title of respect used in addressing or referring to such a person.
3.
a master of any art: the maestros of poetry.


The Maestro Plus Conical Burr Coffee Grinder by Baratza definitely lives up to its name. I have owned and operated many grinders over the years. And some have been very good grinders. The Maestro Plus is superb. Delivers on every level. I was able to finally get a grind so fine (at home) that it could be used to make the perfect espresso.

The "Conical Burr" offers a grind from fine (for espresso) to coarse (coarse enough for my Paula Deen percolator)

A front pulse button option which allows for a direct espresso grind

Forty (that's 4-zero) steps of adjustment and a 60 second timer

Easy to operate and easy to clean

Oh, and did I mention how great it looks?

I think I'll have friends over for coffee this weekend. It's the perfect opportunity to show off my new grinder.

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin...
