A Case Study on a Case Study on the Effects of Roasting on Flavor

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people I encounter who drink coffee on a daily basis, sometimes lots and lots of coffee, and yet have almost no understanding of the concept of a coffee’s roast and its impact on flavor. What amazes me more is how this has been allowed to continue. Fact is, the impact of roast […]

Bird Friendly Certification: Decidedly Good for Birds, But What About Farmers?

New June Tasting Report

We know the new Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Seattle is a thoroughly conceived and unprecedentedly spectacular coffee space and facility.

But what about the coffees it produces?

For our June article we have changed direction rather radically, and in place of our originally planned survey of “Big Box” store coffees, we will publish the results of some blind testing of Starbucks reserve coffees. To put the Starbucks reviews in context, we will also report on coffees from a couple of similar but smaller, less showy and longer-established exhibition roastery-cafés. Check out our tasting report and reviews in the first week of June.

Gear Review: Orphan Espresso Lido 2 Hand Grinder

Gear Review: Orphan Espresso Lido 2 Hand Grinder by Michael

The most important piece of brewing equipment you own is your grinder. As we’ve written elsewhere, there are many great reasons to invest in a hand grinder. If, like us, your life philosophy is “if you’re going to get wet you might as well swim,” then you’re probably looking for the most hardcore hand grinder on the market. It’s hard to find a more serious piece of equipment than the Orphan Espresso Lido 2.

The Specs

At $175.00 the Lido 2 isn’t cheap, but it features specs that normally are only found on a commercial grade coffee grinder. Larger burrs mean a more consistent grind size, and the Lido 2 features 48mm Italian steel burrs- far larger than almost all its competitors. Another plague of hand grinders is the inconsistent particle sizes due to wobbly axles.  The Lido 2’s dual axle eliminates the inconsistencies and ensures an even grind. The Lido 2 also offers a remarkable amount of control over the grind with stepless adjustment. This is especially helpful when grinding for espresso or Turkish coffee, where a small adjustment can have a big impact on the brew.

Over the last five months we’ve used the Lido 2 almost every day. We used it for everything from espresso, Aeropress, French press, and pour-overs. We’ve taken it to work, to friends’s houses, even on an international trip. Over the course of several hundred cups of coffee we’ve developed a few opinions.

Strengths

The grind size is very consistent

Quite simply, the Lido 2 has the best grind quality we’ve seen from a hand grinder. In fact, it’s even better than many electric conical burr grinders. We used a 125 micron sieve to sift the fines from a variety grind sizes. We compared the amount of fines to a Mahlkönig Guatemala and found that it was within 0.1  grams of the Mahlkönig- a remarkable feat considering the $1,800 price difference!

It’s very easy to grind

Compared to other hand grinders, cranking the Lido 2 is a breeze. The only exception is grinding for espresso or Turkish coffee, which will make you trade in your ultra-light Scandinavian roast for some old school dark roast.

The step less grinder offers a remarkable amount of control

If you’re the sort of person who likes being able to control and manipulate minute details, you’ll love the Lido 2. Although the step less adjustment makes it difficult to exactly reproduce a certain grind size, you’ll never be frustrated that your ideal grind is somewhere between two settings.

It can grind for espresso and Turkish coffee

The Lido 2 has the consistency and firepower necessary to grind for espresso. There’s a lot of home espresso grinders out there, but very few actually cut it. The Lido 2 is the only hand grinder we’ve seen do the job.

Weaknesses

The adjustment mechanism is cumbersome

In order to change the grind, one must loosen the bottom ring and then adjust the middle ring which serves as a locking mechanism. Even after 5 months of continuos use, it can be a little arduous to change grind sizes. It’s much easier to turn the dial on a Baratza grinder. In my opinion, the Lido 2 is best suited for home brewers that normally use one method/batch size.

It’s easy to accidentally change the grind setting

More than once the bottom ring came loose while grinding which altered the grind size. This can be avoided by double checking to see if it’s locked, but that can be hard to remember before you’ve had coffee.

It’s very large and heavy

Weighing in at 1.6 kg., the Lido 2 is one heavy piece of equipment. With the bottom container attached, it’s as tall as my Baratza Virtuoso. In short, it’s not the most portable grinder around. I recently took my Lido 2 with me to Tulum, Mexico. The grinder definitely took up a large share of my messenger bag, but I was thankful for the superior quality upon arrival. (Note: OE just released the Lido 3, which manages to shave 600 g. off the weight.)

It’s messier than other grinders

I’m not sure if it’s because of the steel burrs, but the Lido 2 generates more static electricity than other hand mills. I’ve started taking the bottom canister off over the trash to avoid getting chaff and fines all over my kitchen. Even with this technique I’m using my shop vac more than ever.

Conclusion

If you’re interested in the best grind quality possible with a portable grinder, the OE Lido 2 is the grinder you have been looking for. Its large size and difficult adjustment might make another grinder more ideal for novice brewers. But home brewers that have been frustrated with the inconsistent grind size of their entry level grinders will be happy with the quality of the Lido 2.

Watch a Traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony With Cafe Imports

Watch a Traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony With Cafe Imports by Michael

Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony from Cafe Imports on Vimeo.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Thanks to countless heirloom varieties and perfect environmental conditions, Ethiopia grows the best coffees in the world. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that Ethiopia remains one of the few coffee producing countries that consumes more coffee than it exports.

Like many places in Africa and the Middle East, hospitality takes a sacred place in Ethiopian culture.  And at the center of Ethiopian hospitality is the coffee ceremony, an enchanting ritual in which coffee is selected, roasted, and brewed for one’s guests. Ethiopia remains a dream destination for us, but thanks to this new video from the media team at Cafe Imports, you can witness this beautiful tradition yourself, preferably with some fresh crop Ethiopian coffee in your mug.

Both therapists were very thorough and performed great services. I loved the alignment part of the massage. Also the time they took after recommending certain stretches was very helpful!

Incredible! Shane is absolutely amazing. I've been having shoulder pain for quite a while now.. In one session he managed to help me more then my doctor and all his prescription medications did in weeks! His knowledge of body and mind are extensive and effective. I highly recommend Miami message therapy for anything from joint pain recovery to a simple body massage. They are absolutely amazing.

Marketing Beat: Of Course David Lynch Coffee Has Super Weird Ads

Despite the surrealist leanings of his work and enigmatic character of the man himself, the eponymous coffee brand of film director David Lynch has a remarkably generic extended name: David Lynch Signature Cup Coffee. The Lynch brand, available through Boulder, Colo.-based Java Distribution, has three core products in the organic coffee line: A+ House Blend, A+ Decaf Blend and A+ Espresso […]
