For years I've been grinding my own coffee beans, using a simple coffee grinder from Walmart costing around thirty dollars. When I bought the last one a few months ago, they had two models and I chose the better of the two. It had a more powerful motor and holds about a cup of beans. So I

Suzanne, the only kind of food processor I have heard that is good for grinding coffee beans has been the Vitamix, but that is really expensive. I used to have an electric grinder just made for coffee. The metal bowl would hold enough for a pot of coffee or maybe 4-5 scoops of beans though it's

Oh man... That's like sacrilege. After the beans, the most important thing you can invest in is a burr grinder. Anything else is going to give you an uneven grind which will lead to under/overextracted crappy tasting coffee. I've got a Capresso Infinity 560 grinder that you can probably score

Hi, To add what Sugar shared on kosher salt, I found the following (below my name) from joybauer.com Jeanne from joybauer.com By weight, all three — kosher, sea, and table salt — contain the same amount of sodium. However, kosher salt has a coarser grain than fine table salt, which means

I'm not sure, but I think it's supposed to be finer and maybe not as much is needed; I used to have an article on the different kinds of salts, and I think that's what I remember, but I could be incorrect. Deb B. -Original Message- From: Sharon Howerton via Cookinginthedark
