The perfect grind. – AFL Product’s Manual Coffee Grinder with Conical Ceramic Burr.

Standard

We are big coffee drinkers in my family. We love drinking organic coffee. I have insane food allergies and we get it now and then. We buy whole bean and grind it ourselves, for even more yummy freshness. There really is a difference in flavor. We have an electric grinder, but I have to admit, manual grinders are better on coffee beans. My husband really prefers it, and so do I. It’s quieter, lol, and the manual grinders are easier to clean and maintain. They do a better job on the grind as well. There is a ceramic burr in this one. In our personal experience, ceramic lasts longer, and does an amazing job in grinding. It keeps it’s “sharpness” a lot longer than traditional metal. You can adjust and set your coarseness. Just do it before putting your coffee beans in it, lol. If you are using a coffee press, or putting it into a Keurig cup, and need a coarser grind. That is easy with this. I do it and use my Keurig cups for the most part. It works perfectly. This grinder is made out of stainless steel. It is pretty durable and perfect for travel. Stainless also doesn’t naturally harbor bacteria, mold, or fungus. Included in this set is the grinder, a handle, a storage bag, and a cleaning brush. You just need to provide the muscle power and the coffee beans. The handle does not screw on. It is a separate piece that just gets placed on top while you use it. The top cap comes off, and that is where you place your coffee beans. The ground coffee then falls into the lower portion of the unit, and gets stored there until you need it. You can see the ground amount in it. There are two clear panels in the lower compartment. This particular unit is also compatible with the Aeropress, if you have it. I do not own it, so I was unable to test that out personally. The bottom portion was hard to remove the first time out. I was able to rock it back and forth and get it off that way. After that one time, it was easy to do, like my other manual grinders. If you travel a lot for pleasure, or work, this is perfect for you. You can easily make fresh coffee on the go with this unit. I love that they included both the cleaning brush and the drawstring storage bag. They really did think of everything. After you grind your coffee, just use the brush to clean out the top portion and what is visible of the grinder. That’s all you have to do. It really takes no muscle at all to grind it. Even when I am weak after an anaphylactic reaction, I can turn this grinder. I think people hate to hear the word, manual, lol. Don’t scare away from it with this. It really is easy to do, and quick to do as well.

Easy to use. – Ozeri’s Savore Soft Touch Electric Pepper Mill and Grinder.

Standard

Honestly, I never thought about using battery operated pepper grinders before living with my mother again. She is 70 and has arthritis in her hands. You start to look at things differently when you watch someone have difficulties with a task you find simple. She loves pepper too, and Himalayan Pink Salt. There is a big difference in flavor too, between freshly ground, and pre-ground. Freshly ground is sooooooo much better. This particular pepper grinder from Ozeri is pretty easy to operate. It does require 6 AAA batteries, and they are not included. No tool is necessary to access the battery compartment either. The top half of the bottle unscrews. You unscrew this area to both fill it with your spice of choice, as well as to access the battery compartment. Once you unscrew it, turn the handle upside down. You will see two white tabs. Press these towards each other, and this unlatches the battery compartment. Pull it out and you will see the area for the 6 batteries. Now that you’ve both filled it with your spice and batteries, close it up. Now, on the outside of the unit, you can choose your ground size: small, medium, and large. It’s so easy to adjust too. I like the small. It allows some fine and larger grounds thru. We chose to put some pink Himalayan salt in ours. Then, just press the large silver button on the top of it. So easy, and it works so well. The motor doesn’t sound like it’s even near to struggling to grind it. It uses a ceramic grinder. I love ceramic grinders. Our coffee grinders are ceramic. They stay sharper longer, and enable a consistent grind for a much longer period. This unit’s outer container is clear and rubber coated plastic materials. The food itself sits in the clear container, so you know how much you have. The handle has a rubbery coating, which gives it a soft feel, but affords an easy and comfortable grip. It also doesn’t gather finger prints as fast as others. This is such a great working unit. It’s a soft touch to operate, and it works so well. This pepper mill is a great addition to our home.
