2 Coffee Bean Storage Methods That Can Preserve Your Coffee For Years

April 14th, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com

For some of you that are searching for coffee bean storage method, this title might seem like a god send. In fact, you might be wondering if this is real or it is just some fad to lure you into reading this article.

It is real. I am going to highlight 2 methods that would allow you to preserve your roasted coffee beans for at least 2 years, but my question to you is why would you need to preserve your coffee beans for such a long time frame?

Anyway, that is for you to think. Now, let explore the methods that can enable you to preserve the beans for years. The first method is what some coffee companies are employing now, it is to seal pack with nitrogen.

Companies like Illy in order to lengthen the life span of their roasted beans, have come out with this packaging. First, they draw the oxygen from the tin, then they inject nitrogen inside and lastly pressure sealed it.

Without oxygen inside, the oxidation that would usually take place after roasting is slow to a halt, it is still taking place but at a very slow pace. So, this packaging would allow you to have fresh coffee even after 2 years.

However, this is a method that is quite costly and is not readily available. You can probably find this at some larger coffee roasting company and get them to seal it for you. This is the best way to seal the freshness of coffee, and the only drawback is its high cost.

The next method is very low cost and implementing it is very simple. However, reversing the process is not easy. One of the easiest ways to preserve the beans is to freeze it. Freezing also stop the chemical process of oxidation from taking place, but brewing the beans after that requires some very good time estimation.

Generally, freezing the beans, would allow you to keep it for at least a year. So, it does sounds like a very easy thing to do and it is also very low cost, you do not even need any special equipment.

Similarly, when thawing the beans, you also do not need any special equipment, but you do need to have some precision timing to brew the beans. This is because, if the beans are not thawed long enough, it would be too hard to grind. Beans that are not fully thawed are as hard as rock and grinding it is likely to break your grinder blade.

From the time you take out the beans to brewing it should not be more than 4 hours. If it is lesser than that, you would risk spoiling your grinder, but what if the timing is more than? As coffee beans thaw, condensation is also taking place and water droplets would form on the surface of the beans. If too much water gathers on the surface, the beans would be saturated with water and it would start to lose its flavor even before it is used to brew any coffee.

Yes, it is not easy to use the freezing method to store the beans, and the nitrogen method is not cheap. It seems like there is no perfect solution to storing beans for the long haul.

But, my question is, why would anyone want to store their coffee beans for such a long time? Most of us live within an hour drive to the supermarket or the coffee supplier in town isn’t it easier to purchase the beans when we need it?

Coffee Break Arcade Game – What Are The Top 5 Arcade Games For Coffee Breaks?

April 11th, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com

After taking a close look at five of the top ranked coffee break arcades according to some company called Google, I decided to write about it. After all, there’s a list for everything nowdays. So here’s the list for top five coffee break arcade games. If you happen to be unemployed now and your whole day is a coffee break (Hmmm, sounds like me), well…it’s ok. You can still take a peak.

After taking a look at five of the top results from a Google search of ‘coffee break arcade’ I found these games were the most popular.

Starting at number one is:

1. Star Defender. This was actually the easiest choice as three different sites had this game listed as number one. Star defender is a good choice for number one as I had a great time playing it. Top quality.

2. Billiard Training. This is the number one game according to one of the top sites. The idea behind this game is to learn how to to improve at billiards while playing online. The strategy is emphasized.

3. Happy Tree Friends: Flippy Attack. This one is a bit disturbing. Who would want to attack flippy? Ok, it’s just a game. Flippy doesn’t really die. :-)

4. Air Strike 3D. This one has been gaining ground ( OK, that’s air not ground.) and looks like a winner.

5. Fruit Smash. Great game and definitely a game for the farmers and the David Letterman group.

I hope this helps. Just remember: your coffee break lasts only 15 minutes. Unless your self-employed. Then you either have no coffee breaks, or all day long is a coffee break.

Types of Coffee Makers

April 9th, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com

There are many methods of coffee preparation. Each method has its own unique traits suited to a variety of tastes and lifestyles. Here are some of the more popular and interesting coffee preparation methods, and the types of machines or apparatus for each.

One of the most familiar manners of brewing coffee is the use of the PERCOLATOR. Boiling water is repeatedly filtered through the coffee grounds. This is an old favorite, particularly when used with very mild coffee. One drawback of percolation is the resulting bitterness of the coffee which is caused by prolonged overboiling.

AUTOMATIC DRIP brewing tends to take much of the guesswork out of preparing coffee. Cold water is poured into a reservoir and is heated to the appropriate temperature; the water pulses through the ground coffee awaiting it in a filter. Some models have a switch which slows the pulsing of the water to allow a rich brew, even if only a few cups are desired.

MANUAL DRIP coffeemakers use a paper FILTER CONE similar to the one used in the Automatic Drip machine. Water is heated separately, and at first a small amount is poured over the coffee grounds, allowing them to “blossom” – to open up and release their flavor (See “Agony of the Leaves” in Tea Through the Ages – before pouring in the rest of the water to drip through the filter.

COFFEE FILTERS strain grounds out of the brew. PAPER FILTERS are efficient in keeping out some of the strong flavor, leaving a “clean-tasting” cup of coffee. GOLD, GOLD-TONE, STAINLESS, and NYLON FILTERS permit more of the coffee’s flavor to flow through. No matter what type of filter is used, it is not unusual to find minute particles of grounds floating in your coffee.

PLUNGER POTS, otherwise known as FRENCH PRESS coffeemakers, are rapidly growing in popularity for many reasons. They are frequently used at professional coffee tastings as they are as close as possible of making the “perfect” cup of coffee. The

plunger pot permits full contact between water and coffee, extracting more of the rich flavors.You are also in control of bringing the water to its optimum temperature, just below boiling, making for a hot cup and full extraction.

There are a variety of sizes and styles of the FRENCH PRESS, accompanied by a wide range of prices. They have a tempered glass beaker or carafe plus a stainless or nylon filter/plunger. Place ground coffee and hot water in the carafe, stir once, and allow to steep. The strength of the coffee is determined by controlling the steeping time, 3 to 5 minutes. As soon as the pre-determined steeping time elapses, slowly push the plunger down, pressing the filter screen through the mixture. Hold most of the grounds securely at the bottom of the carafe as you pour your hot, extremely fresh coffee.

For those coffee drinkers who prefer their brew stronger, more flavorful and intense, there are ESPRESSO and CAPPUCCINO machines. Electric machines with an internal pump and a cold water reservoir usually produce the best brew.

When making espresso, only a small amount of water is automatically drawn, heated, and then pumped through the coffee grounds at a very high pressure, extracting the essence, richness, and intensity of the coffee. These coffee machines can also produce cappuccino, cafe au lait, hot chocolate, and tea. See wide selections of espresso machines at http://www.niftykitchen.com/site/339522/page/49348.

Cappuccino is espresso, only topped with frothed milk. To get the best froth, use only a small amount of milk, in a small, cold stainless or ceramic pitcher. To make the froth,place the tip of the steaming tube just beneath the surface of the milk and turn on the steam, allowing the milk to aerate by swirling around the bottom of the pitcher.

Many stovetop units are not true espresso machines; one of these is known as a MACCHINETTA, a fairly inexpensive, traditional coffeemaker which dispenses coffee by boiling water and then causing enough steam pressure to climb through the grounds. The payoff for using a stovetop machine is that the higher water temperature creates a cup that is strong but somewhat thin and bitter, as opposed to the espresso from a pump-type machine.

Coffee prepared by the COLD WATER METHOD causes less stomach discomfort to those who are troubled by the acidity in coffee. Using the TODDY COFFEEMAKER, one pound of coarsely ground coffee is steeped overnight in water and the filtered into a carafe. This resulting mixture is combined with water to taste and then heated when ready to serve.

TURKISH coffee refers to both the preparation and grind of this Middle Eastern specialty. It is ground nearly to a powder, mixed with equal parts of sugar, and is then boiled in water several times until it becomes almost syrupy in consistency. The froth is served between boils. Drunk in small cups that usually contain some of the grounds, the brew is exceedingly strong. The coffeemaker used is called an IBRICK.

VACUUM coffeemakers are a double delight, Besides brewing wonderful-tasting coffee, these makers give a great show to watch. Consisting of two carafes, water is held in the bottom while the coffee grounds rest in the top. When the bottom carafe is heated, the water is forced to the top carafe, where it steeps with the coffee. When the heat source is turned off after a couple of minutes of steeping, the “filtered” coffee is forced back to the bottom, ready to be served.

The NEAPOLITAN is one of the more traditional drip coffeemakers. The part without the spout is filled with water, and the special filter fitting in this part is filled with coffee. When a bit of steam comes out of the spout, the heat is turned off and the coffeemaker is then turned upside down. The hot water slowly drips down to the section with the spout. Remove the top part containing the coffee and serve.

For those coffee drinkers looking for the bizarre in coffeemakers, try the COFFEE SOCK. It is usually made of cotton and does look like a sock. Simply put some ground coffee in this intriguing device and infuse it in hot water. You can even use your own socks! This custom of preparing coffee is popular in South America.

Best Coffee Beans in the World

April 8th, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com

There are different types of coffee beans. Due to the influx of its varieties, the reviews and suggestions from consumers have become helpful. Regardless of these feedbacks however, it is important to note that taste is a matter of individual preference.

There are those who prefer the stronger drinks, others the flavored ones. There are also those who prefer their coffee hot while others prefer it cold or chilled. There is sure to have one distinct taste of coffee that will delight your taste buds and match your personality.

Along the shores of the beautiful Lake Victoria within Rift Valley in Kenya, coffee farmers nurture the best coffee beans producing coffee trees in the world. Graded as AA, these finest beans are usually sold during weekly auctions by Kenya’s esteemed Coffee Board.

It is noted that one factor why coffee plants produce the best coffee beans is due to the regional climate. This results to the distinctive and aromatic flavor seen in coffee cherries. If you want gourmet coffee, it is best to purchase Arabica coffee.

The edible beans of Arabica are reported to have the best aroma and most spirit. Robusta, on the other hand, offers an Earthier olfactory taste. It has fewer flavors because it possesses more caffeine content. As compared to other types, Arabica coffee has superior flavor, being more aromatic and richer. These plants actually grow finest along higher altitude places. They cannot grow and survive within low temperatures or frost. This makes Arabica beans harder to grow, requiring a lot of attention and care. It generally grows in very high altitudes such as 3,000 feet.

The Colombian Medellin coffee is another type which is slightly acidic, richer and full bodied. Others note it as syrupy and sweet. Competing countries for the supply of quality coffee in the international market are Brazil, Colombia, Uganda and Mexico. Although Colombia produces about 15%, Brazil takes over 20% of the worldwide production.

Moreover, a perfect blend of coffee from Indonesia, South and Central America are proven to be irresistible also. When it is medium roasted, the beans bring out a “nutty” sweetness. This is due to the fact that roasting makes the green beans lose its moisture, and it expands at 200oC. This will result to chemical reactions like color change and caramelization. The longer these coffee beans are roasted, the more oils are being extracted, and producing a bigger body.

With the roasting process, these coffee beans haul out their vibrant flavors. This happens as its fat and carbohydrate content gets transformed into aromatic oils.

The Sumatra coffee is another variant famous for its strong taste. It is suggested to drink this in small servings only.

Finding the best coffee doesn’t mean that you need to taste every type of coffee bean you come across with. Choosing the best coffee bean is not measured by the number of people who have found it appealing. Choosing the best coffee bean is dependent on your preference and taste.

Cuisinart Mandolin Slicer

April 7th, 2010

Cuisinart Mandolin Slicer One star is too many – cookingal – va
It pulverized the apples I tried to slice. Thinking that they were maybe too soft, I tried carrots and they sliced half-way through and broke off the rest of the way. The blade isn’t sharp enough and the knob on the bottom, which is used to adjust the blade, makes whatever you’re trying to slice get jammed and then break (rather than the nice neat slices I had hoped for).

I bought it at Bed, Bath & Beyond and returned it. Had I looked for it here, I wouldn’t have bought it, based on the negative reviews. (Had I bought it here, I would have had to pay return shipping.)

Cuisinart: 89502 The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Mandolin Slicer is an efficient professional tool that is perfect for creating decorative salads, potato chips, french fries, cheese platters and more. The durable stainless steel frame and reversible sliding blade makes waffle and straight cuts. There is an easy to use safety guard for safe and accurate slicing. Dishwasher safe and easy to clean, plus a 5 year limited warranty.
