I'm reaching out to you about a problem I'm having posting to the
forum. You are one of the "moderators" listed and you have an email
posted on your profile.

I've tried submitting an entry, but continue to get the same error
message. Please point me in the right direction to resolve my problem.
I've emailed beanz@coffeeforums.com several times but have not heard
back for days.

A typical error message is copied below. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,


I know you are an admin but it seems there's no way to reach the founders of the board. CoffeeLover has only PM (which I can't use without making a post) and the other person has AIM but is not on.


My problem is that I can't post! I click the "Agree" box and when I hit Submit this is what I get:

View entire thread: Newbie needs advice

Posted by ksr on 2006-06-14 14:34:14      Post Subject: Newbie needs advice

I am wanting to try buying coffee beans and then grinding them. In the past I have used one of the cheapie electric blade grinders (you know the type--$9.99 etc). It did not impress me--static, messy etc.

Because I travel (alot) I need a compact (read small) burr grinder. I also do not wish to take out a loan to buy one before I see if I like grinding. Therefore, I was thinking of a hand operated coffee mill might be just the ticket--compact and not costing in the hundreds of dollars. I understand that Zassenhaus is a good brand, but no longer obtainable new at the moment. What other brands would you experts recommend? I currently use the aerobiepress and/or just a melitta drip (remember I travel alot).

The other question has to do with static. How do you keep the grounds from going all over the place? Is it related to the grinder? The weather? Or a special trick you all use.

I appreciate any assistance you can provide. TIA

Kathi

View entire thread: An awesome espresso that you have to try

Posted by Java Jolt on 2005-09-02 11:11:32      Post Subject: An awesome espresso that you have to try

:lol:

My partner and I purchased a Jura S9 about a year ago to replace the many
coffee makers that performed poorly and made bad coffee. We sample an espresso at Williams Sanoma and fell in love with the machine and espresso as well.

This is a long way to the point but we searched for an exceptional espresso bean and found one through the Caracolilo Coffee Mill in Tampa (in business since 1936). They roast and ship within 24 hours. Here again, as some of you have mentioned about your experience in speaking with company owners, my experience with Julian was great and he is passionate as well about his espresso. He keeps the origin of the bean to himself and states that it is of course what makes this espresso exceptional. This bean for some reason exhibits no surface oil after roasting but oil does surface within 48 hours. We purchase 5# at a great price and I have not found another roaster with this comparable priceing for the quality. Worth the try. I am still a novice on all the lingo and termonology surrounding expresso and bean roasting. Does anyone know of a good printed resource??

Cheers and happy drinking

Posted by Javajuice on 2006-11-30 21:42:24      Post Subject: Jamaica Mountain Choice

This coffee is made by the Coffee Mill of Jamaica and the flavors are great. I tried the link provided above but it did not work so I did some searching and I found it on http://www.redpeppermall.com

I have purchased from them several times now and have gotten it really fast. Price was reasonable too.

I agree with ccafe, and will add the Zassenhaus coffee mill.



I love my old Zassenhaus. It just makes it seem more personal when you grind 'em by hand...

Good point about fire safety, Coffee Guy - I tend to forget that because my coffee mill is located in a '50's vintage fire station - solid concrete and leased from the city's fire department. Naturally, they spend a good bit of time at my location!

I totally think hand grinding is worth it every morning. its a ton cheaper with a ten-year guarantee, tool-grade carbon steel, and precision. the burrs are sharp. you may grind enough coffee in the time it takes to boil the water. Z- has a great rep too amoung coffee geeks.

View entire thread: Coffee Bean Grinders

Posted by Anonymous on 2003-04-21 18:13:13      Post Subject: CoffeeGrinders

There are 2 types of Coffee Grinders. The most avaliable is the Blade type, with a high speed blade that chops the beans up.

The second type is called a Burr grinder, and these can be broken down into cone or plate burrs. These use 2 bits of metal really close together to break the beans apart. Kind of like mill stones. Usually they are called Coffee Mills.

The better of the 2 is the Burr/Mill type grinder. It does not alter the flavour of the coffee beans. The blade type will actualy scorch the beans adding a burnt taste.

I've used both, and can vouch for the flavour altering effects of Blade Grinders.

Your better off buying a Coffee Mill, if u dont want to spoil the flavours.

If you already have a blade grinder, its best to Pulse the on switch instead of holding it down. Holding it down, will cause the flavour changes. A good sign of blade scorching is the smell of the grounds. As u grinder em, you will notice the smell change... You dont want that.

View entire thread: Looking for suggestions on buying a Grinder

Posted by phaelon56 on 2004-11-09 17:38:01      Post Subject:

I used a cheap ($15) Wargin Spice/Coffee Mill blade grinder for years to make drip coffee through a paper cone Mellitta and it was fine. If you get into making French Press or vac pot coffee the cheap grinder may not yield a fine enough grind. best bet for the money is a Zassenhaus manual mill grinder if you don't mind a minor amount of effort.

The Maestro and Maestro Plus are good grinders for moderate use. If you start grinding a couple pounds per week or getting into serious espresso with a higher end espresso machine you can and will see the difference in grind quality and espresso quality.

Posted by JBM Lover on 2007-06-20 11:52:21      Post Subject:

Hello, just road the net looking for ''real'' blue mountain coffee, found prices
from $15 to $40 a lb., how do you know if your getting the real deal?.
I was in Jamaica on vacation and I can say the blue mountain I had in the resturant was great, I''ve tried a few brands (whole bean) here in the states and nothing compares. Are there any companies willing to send a one pot sample.
Thanks.......perry

Perry,
Like you an many others on this forum, I got tired of paying an arm and a leg for this coffee, so I made a concerted effort to find better deals that did not mean skimping on quality or authenticity. I have found a great site called blumcafe.com. They have some of the best prices out there. The coffee is ordered and prepared fresh from the coffee mill in Jamaica when you place your order. The longest I have had to wait for mine is 10 days. If you can handle the wait, I would highly recommend. They carry Wallenford products. It was fresh and I loved it. :lol:
