]]>These clever machines are perfect if you want instant ground coffee without any effort. You can put the machine on while you continue to get ready for your day and come back to perfectly ground coffee ready to be used. You can also choose ones with different features on, depending on your budget and what you are after.
These old-school devices are an example of simplicity standing the test of time. While they require more effort than an electric grinder, many people opt for these for various reasons. They are much quieter than an electric coffee bean grinder, so it’s ideal if you share your home with people with different sleep schedules. They are also aesthetically pleasing and it’s a very satisfying feeling to grind your own beans.

]]>Odds are, you’ve been drinking Arabica-based coffee without even knowing it since it’s the most popular and common type of coffee beans. In fact, they comprise about 60% of the global coffee bean supply. Arabica beans are famous for being relatively sweet and have less of that marked bitterness so often identified with coffee.
Next up in the popularity scale are the Robusta beans, which are only slightly less commonly used than the Arabica beans. They have a strong odor and contain a significant amount of caffeine.
Liberica beans are a lot less common in western countries and are a lot more prominent in Southeast Asian coffee culture. Those beans carry a unique aroma and are said to have a “love it or hate it” kind of taste. Give them a try and decide for yourselves!
Excelsa beans are also more common in Southeast Asia compared to the rest of the world, and have been classified as a sub-type of Liberica, but true coffee aficionados refer to it as an independent type of beans. Excesla beans are known for their fruity flavor.

]]>Everything started when this Redditor purchased a melanger device, also known as a wet grinder, with the intention to make coffee praline paste with it. But soon, he came up with a better idea. He would try to turn coffee beans into chocolate.
@Fluffy_Munchkin did some research and found out that there are several recipes for this. However, neither was to their liking as it would result in a bitter or bad-tasting chocolate. So, this person created their own.
After several tries and misses, the Reddit user finally managed to develop a recipe that led to a satisfying product. The recipe asks for coffee beans, cocoa butter, sugar, powdered vanilla beans, salt, and liquid soy lecithin.
The instructions involve grinding the coffee beans as fine as possible and melting the cocoa butter completely. The melted cocoa butter is then mixed with soy lecithin and poured into a melanger. The ground coffee beans and the rest of the ingredients are then added to the melanger and left to conch for 48 hours.
The mixture is then tempered, poured into molds, and left in the fridge to cool down. After 30 minutes, it becomes every coffee lover’s dream.
@Fluffy_Munchkin even made a video in which he explains the process and provides a tutorial for anyone who wants to try and make this treat at home. Check it out below.
According to the Reddit user, the chocolate made out of coffee beans comes with a “good balance between sweetness and bitterness”. It has a “strong coffee flavor” and melts in your mouth just like real chocolate. People who had a chance to sample it gave positive reviews with @Fluffy_Munchkin’s roommate described the taste as “super nutty espresso”.
