Lots of people ask me whether burr coffee grinders are really important. My answer: yes! Absolutely. No matter what kind of coffee maker you use, your final brew is only as good as your beans and grind make it. You have to grind your coffee beans yourself to get truly excellent, fresh coffee.

The coffee you used to buy -- the stuff that comes in cans? Garbage. I'm serious. Coffee should not be as dry as sawdust. Coffee should have a strong aroma, strong enough to feel like a slap in the face. Coffee should be slightly clumpy and oily.

Coffee should be flavorful. The only way to insure this is to grind it yourself. You won'rt regret purchasing a good burr coffee grinder.
