Its commercial-quality stainless-steel cutting burrs can be adjusted to 15 different grind sizes for selecting the right consistency for espresso, automatic drip, or French-press brewing.

The coffee grinder’s cutting burrs turn at just 450 RPM to minimize frictional heating of the grinds, and in turn, preserve the coffee flavor and aroma.

Special helical gear controls the delivery of coffee to the burrs for better grind consistency, while a bin seal plate helps position the coffee bin under the grinding spout to prevent coffee grounds from escaping.

Its 7-ounce bean hopper and coffee bin are glass to minimize any static “cling” of coffee grounds, and the unit’s compact design allows for easy storage on the countertop or in a cabinet.

For quick cleanup, the grinder’s smooth metal housing is a snap to wipe clean, and its bean hopper, hopper lid, and coffee bin are dishwasher-safe. A burr cleaning brush is included.

The coffee grinder measures 12 by 13-1/2 by 6 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Kummer began with some basic questions:

• What matters most in buying coffee?
• How can you sort through the jumble of place names and whimsical labels on beans and blends?
• Is a dark roast better, more sophisticated, than a light roast?
• Is it essential to grind coffee beans at home?

What he learned in response to these queries comprises the bulk of The Joy of Coffee.

Starting with a tour of a coffee plantation and ending in the reader’s own kitchen, Kummer leads a lively and informative discussion of all phases of coffee production, from harvesting to roasting to brewing.

He discusses different roasts and the different types of coffeemakers, and he even talks about caffeine consumption and methods of decaffeination that preserve the bean’s flavor.

At the end of The Joy of Coffee is a chapter chock full of recipes for tasty treats that either go well with coffee or include it as an ingredient.

Like a great cup of Joe, The Joy of Coffee is good to the very end.
