I've had both burr and blade type, and didn't see any real difference in grind quality. |

I thought everybody knew that REAL coffee purists regard the use of blade grinders as only a smidge above buying canned ground coffee. I use Jose's coffee from Costco (or whatever is on sale) and buy blade grinders at yard sales for a buck or so. They last a couple of years until the switch gives out. I had a burr grinder which got stuck in the 'superfine' setting, was a nuisance to clean, took twice as long, and the coffee didn't taste any better. OTOH, I'm not a coffee purist. I tried a Bialetti espresso pot and didn't think that was anything special either, certainly not worth the trouble. -- Cheers, Bev =============================================================== Children, your performance was miserable.

| bleak_fire_ <penachew@yomomma.hot.invalid>: Apr 13 10:26PM +0200 https://consumerist.com/2016/04/13/senators-call-on-ftc-to-do-something- about-misleading-fashion-sites/ It seems that someone in the offices of Senators Richard Blumenthal (D- CT) or Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), or perhaps both senators, has either ordered clothing from a misleading China-based site or read Buzzfeed recently. Both senators announced today that they've sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission chair Edith Ramirez, urging the FTC to take action against sites that advertise great deals and don't deliver what customers expected. We've discussed these sites before: operating under a wide variety of names, they use photos of fashionable clothing and low prices to draw customers, then ship something that sort of resembles that item, sometimes taking so long to ship from China that customers miss their two- month window to dispute charges on their credit cards. "These sites are based in China, so we have no consumer protections there," you might say. The Senators' letter points out that the FTC and China's consumer protection agency, the State Administration for Industry & Commerce, have a memorandum of understanding outlining ways that they might cooperate in the future. True, the memo is more about discussing consumer protection laws and holding symposia, and less about day-to-day consumer protection and shutting down websites, but it's more than the customers holding tiny dress-shaped sacks have. "As you [Commissioner Ramirez] investigate this matter, we urge the FTC to work with its counterparts to help ensure these fraudulent websites are promptly dismantled if they cannot commit to being truthful and accurate about the products they sell," the senators wrote. Sen. Blumenthal is the ranking Democrat on the Senate's Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security, and has an interest in consumer protection as the former attorney general of Connecticut. -- bleak_fire_ since nine-seven twitter.com/thebleakfire |
