Nesco Coffee Grinder
CoffeeMakersShop is happy to announce that we now have Nesco coffee making equipment manufactured by the National Enameling and Stamping Company. Metal Ware now owns Nesco/American Harvest brand and has a long standing tradition of manufacturing quality electric cooking appliances that stretches back to 1920.
Today, we are introducing the Nesco coffee grinder model BG-88PR. This is a professional burr grinder that delivers the consistently even grind and lower heat generation that ensure the maximum flavor retention of your coffee. You can select 17 grind settings from espresso to French press, which are marked fine to course. Numbers 1 to 3 are good for espresso while 4-6 for filtered coffee makers, 7-9 for percolators and 10 and above for French press. The hopper holds 8.8 ounces, which has easy to read cup measurements. The adjustable timer allows you to grind the exact amount for 2 to 12 cups of coffee. Remember that 12 cups of espresso will take more time than, for instance, the filtered size grind. Press the On/Off switch to start the grinding and it will automatically shut-off. A note of caution here: Do not run the coffee grinder for more than one minute. If you need further grinding or more grinding let it the motor cool down for a full minute first.
This grinder come with a polarized plug, which means one side is wider than the other. This is a safety issue, so be sure the plug is in all the way. The power cord is short to eliminate it from getting entangled in or tripping over the cord.
After every use brush away all remaining coffee grounds from the bean hopper and grounds chute. You may wash the hopper lid and grounds chute with warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT GRINDER PARTS IN THE DISHWASHER.
This appliance is warranted for one year against defects in material and workmanship.
What Happened to Coffee in America?
From the time of the first Turkish Ibrik, coffee makers developed through various kinds of coffee makers. In the early 1800s, the first really new way of preparing coffee occurred. Coffee was now ground in shops or manually operated coffee grinders in the home. Fifty years later, coffee was made in an American-made percolator. The grounds were put in a container above the water and a hollow stem pumped hot water up and over the grounds. Other early coffeemakers at this time were the vacuum glass pots method and espresso machines. All of these became electric models of coffee percolators, various drip coffee makers and espresso machines. Electric commercial coffee brewers and manual espresso machines grew in popularity. Tomorrow, how is coffee made and served today.
What Happened to Coffee in America?
In 1990, the Rancilio Rocky Burr Grinder is introduced. It is the first “household” grinder to blur the line between commercial and home grinding appliances. The quality of the grinder is outstanding and it grinds beans at 55 grinding settings to convert coffee beans to anything from uniform coarse grinds to fine powder.
Around 1991, Saeco brings out the world’s first super automatic espresso machines designed specifically for home and small office use in Italy and America. The Incanto Deluxe includes three programmable brew settings and ceramic disc grinders. In addition, you can customize your espresso brew and the Rapid Steam® technology; it allows you to easily froth milk to quickly turn your espresso into a cappuccino or latte.
Three year later, Solis presents the SL-90 consumer espresso machine, a truly successful automatic espresso machine for the home. It gives the benefit of simple digital controls, the most powerful water pump in its class at 19 BAR, large 3.2 quart water reservoir and a thick walled brass boiler so that you can make your favorite coffee house drinks like cappuccino, lattes, cafe mochas and more.
Next, more of what happens to coffee and espresso machines in 1997 and beyond.
The specifications for the Rancilio Rocky Doserless and Doser grinders say a lot about the Rocky. One of the most important aspects for a commercial grinder is the grinding burrs. The Rocky grinding burrs are long-lasting commercial quality 50mm steel that run quietly, powerfully and safely. Both grinders have 55 different grind settings from coarse to fine powder. A thermal protection safety devise shuts down the grinding mechanism automatically should it jam or become overheated. The power they pull is 166 watts at 120 volts, which is equivalent to a little more than two 75 watt light bulbs on standard household current. Both are brushed stainless steel with a black front. The 10 ounce coffee bean hopper is made of a light blue tinted see-through plastic. There’s more on the specifications coming tomorrow.
With a body weight of 18 pounds (with the motor making up 11.5 of those pounds), its brushed stainless steel housing, and heavy-duty plastic accessory components, there is no doubt that the Rocky is one of the toughest grinders in this class as well. Thus, it is a popular choice for cafes, delis and restaurants that need a medium duty primary grinder or a first line decaf-only grinder. Because it has such a wide range of grinding options, it can convert coffee beans to anything from uniform coarse grinds for French press to fine powder for espresso and cappuccino drinks for any household. This quality is crucial for the home, as well as high-end and commercial espresso machines and… it’s a dream for the true espresso connoisseur. With so many settings you can adjust the Rocky grinder to very exact specifications. Great for home, office or professional use, the Rocky is the best buy for under $350.00.
I’ll have more information on this grinder tomorrow. Hint: Its on it unique specifications.
In Italy where this grinder is made they call it “Rocky,” which means it’s a champion. The Rancilio Rocky, designed specifically for espresso, enjoys the reputation of being one of the toughest, most durable grinders on the market. Based on the engineering and innovations developed from Rancilio’s commercial grinders, the Rocky has set the bar for other grinders competing in the home espresso market. In addition to being a tough, durable grinder for the home market, the Rocky is one of the best built light commercial coffee grinders for the commercial market. More about that tomorrow…
