Grind and Brew Coffee Maker is For the Clean Folks!

What do I mean by a grind and brew coffee maker for clean folks? Personally, I felt that different coffee machines are designed and meant for different individuals and there is no one machine that is suitable for everyone. So, for the grind and brew coffee machine, in my opinion, it is suitable for those that would take good care of the brewer. This is not to say that this machine is prone to breakdown. In fact, if you would to get a cuisinart DGB 600, it is a pretty durable machine.

Prior to touching on that, let's just consider the fact if you would want a brew and grind in the first place. Well, no matter how easy the brewing can be, there would always be those folks that are meant for single serve coffee machine. However, the main thing about having a grinder in your household is the noise. Sure, the technology nowadays can muffle off, perhaps 70% of the noise that a grinder generate, however, even 30% in a quiet morning is pretty shattering. So, if you are someone that appreciates quietness early in the morning, grinding coffee might not be for you.

Now, why did I say that it is better for those folks that would take care of their brewers to own a grind and brew? Well, if you grind the beans, the mess would definitely be greater than if you just brew the coffee with ready coffee grounds. Any mess that is not promptly cleared would affect the taste of the next coffee adversely. Moreover, if you just leave the coffee beans in the beans hopper, the taste would go off after a few hours. It is only when someone is there to monitor the hopper condition and ensuring that the brewing unit and the grinding unit is clean and in working condition, can one get good coffee from it.

The reward is good and fresh coffee that can rival those that you can get from starbucks or any of the professional coffee joints. While, no companies would want you to know that, when it comes to freshness, no vacuum packed or sealing can beat freshly roast and ground coffee. After roasting, the coffee aroma can probably last for weeks at most with the best storage facility. But, after grinding the coffee is fresh for at most a couple of hours. So, if you wonder why the coffee ground you purchased can never be as good as those coffee shops, here is the reason.

While, I mentioned that coffee brewer with build in grinder requires additional care to ensure that you get a quality brew. This care that you invest on your machine would reward you with a very fresh brew. But, if you are not one such person, it also meant that your expectation on coffee might not be that high. There are many machines out there that use very sophisticated technology to seal the flavor of the coffee. Sure, it might not be as fresh as the grind and brew just mentioned, but then again, if all you need to do for a cuppa is a push of button, you cannot asked too much on that right?
