Maria Cleaveland of Equator Estate Coffees & Teas thinks that the blade grinder most of us have in our kitchen just doesnt do the trick because it produces an inconsistent grind. She recommends burr grinders, which crush the coffee beans rather than smash them, and which offer the most control.

While Starbucks may be struggling, Colombian cafe chain Juan Valdez Café, built on the fame of the world’s biggest coffee icon is determined to buck the trend with plans for worldwide expansion despite the slowing economy that has forced others to scale back. Even as cash-short consumers cut back on gourmet blends, the Juan Valdez Cafe is selling coffee at 101 stores across Colombia, as well as in New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, and in Spain It plans to add 500 more shops across the U.S., Latin America and Europe by 2010. The Bogotá-based chain has a unique premise: its shops are owned not by investors, but by 22,600 coffee-growing shareholders who opened them to advertise the beans they sell, not to make a profit. The slick cafes — which are named for a fictional coffee grower invented as an advertising pitchman nearly 50 years ago — are meant to draw younger consumers, introducing them to Colombian coffee in hopes they’ll start requesting it at restaurants and grocery stores. Colombia — the world’s third-biggest coffee producer after Brazil and Vietnam — grows more washed Arabica beans than any other nation. Hand-picked on Andean hillsides, the fragrant beans are considered by many to brew the best coffee, said Rodrigo Alarcon, a professional coffee taster in Bogotá.
