I was contemplating purchasing a coffee bean grinder, but there's so many different things to consider, many of which I've never even heard of before, things like: How long does it take to grind the coffee beans? How much can I grind at one time? Is the coffee bean grinder electric or manual? Is the grinder a space saver? How many coarness levels does the grinder have, ie; fine, ultrafine or coarse, medium coarseness. How was the cost of a grinder? What is difference in the most expensive grinder to the less expensive grinders? Can you use any flavor of coffee to grind? Does the coffee bean grinder come attached to a coffee maker? Will the coffee grinder have a any type of timer- along with some type of auto shut off?

Kathy, Thanks! When I use the little coffee pot in the article to brew coffee, I am careful to let the grounds settle before I pour. I leave a little coffee behind to keep the grounds from going into the cup.

I really enjoyed your description of roasting the coffee – wondering – do you have to strain it at all?

I would love to try it – there really is a pleasure in creating!

Thanks, Joshua. What a great idea. I’ll try roasting coffee next time I camp out.

Hey there,

What a nice little write up. I enjoyed your endearing talk of your local Ethiopian restaurant and Abeba.

I was looking for info on the net for how to roast my own coffee… Actually, how to roast it when out on camping trips (the word camping brought up this site). I thought that would be just great…. I’ve seen videos of the more “ceremonial” Ethiopian way and it just seems to appealing… to sit around, listen to and smell the coffee roast before enjoying it…

Lets take our time and enjoy our coffee, friends and environment

Cheers
