Mug Maker Coffee Mug Reviews :: Coffee Tips

There are several technical aspects to brewing the perfect pot of coffee; the beans, brewer, the right grinder, water quality, etc all play role in the final taste of your brew. Sure, these are all important, but there is something else that I find important too...THE MUG! See the entire post at http://www.CoffeeNate.com/​mugrevolution-custom-coffee-mug-review

@davideshafer For portable grinding, I use a handmill. The hario mini. It works pretty good for anything finer than french press. It is difficult to get a decent coarse grind though.

@coffeenate1 Do you have portable bur grinders? I wanna be able to take my grinder with me. Much like I do my press. Everytime I make coffee at work I always attract a crowd who have never seen a press used. The attention is nice and the fact that I am helping to educate people about good coffee is always good.

@davideshafer as far as storing ground coffee, it just cannot be done. When coffee is ground, the flavorful oils are exposed, and immediately begin to spoil. It is likely that they are already rancid when you purchased it, if you bought it ground. If you are storing coffee that you ground at home, then you get about a half hour or an hour of freshness. Sad but true! Grind when brewing, and you'll have great coffee every time!

@davideshafer I have spoke extensively about the proper grinder. Blade grinders aren't good for any type of brewing, because they can never produce a consistent grind size. That is essential to brewing a good cup of coffee. You need to use a burr grinder, and an all purpose decent grinder will run you about $100. If you visit my site and search for Coffee Grinders in the categories, you will find this info.

@tfastlane Great question. NASTY! If you consider rancid built up oils to be tasty, more power to ya, but not this coffee snob! There is no such thing as seasoning a coffee mug, just a dirty or clean one. Thanks for the comment!

Hi good info, I have a question. I used to work with a guy that claimed to be a coffee snob, the funny thing is he didn't wash his mug. The most he would do is rinse it out with water and he would get mad if someone would wash it for him. Have you ever heard of that? I could see if maybe he didn't want the soap taste but if you rinse it out enough you wont have that.

Hi Nate! Great show. I was wondering if you would speak a bit about the right type of grinder for coffee. I know blade grinders aren't the best when it comes to course grinding and I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. Also when I store ground coffee, I use a glass jar with a rubber seal. And the coffee laste about three weeks.
