Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder

I need my coffee! I am a mother who struggles in the morning. That cup of coffee, shot of espresso or warm cappuccino is what gets my brain working and my feet moving. If I dont have a lovely jolt of caffeine, I can often become cranky and slow which is not good for anyone really. I have been using Capresso espresso and coffee machines for years now and love everything thought about them. I am a big fan of French Press coffee, but it takes more work to get it right. Anyone using a French Press really needs to check out this article on Creating the Best French Press Coffee by ChefSteps. I like these machines because of how easy they are to use. But what makes a cup of coffee stand out is freshly ground beans! When a bean is ground just before you brew it, it gives it a more bold and true flavor. Pre-ground coffee will work in a pinch, but for the real coffee lover, you can taste the difference in a bean that was ground that day and the bean that was ground a few months ago.

By grinding your own coffee, you can have the coffee house feel in your own kitchen. It’s is easy to do and makes such a difference that there is no reason for you not to try to grind your own. If you’re thinking about buying a coffee grinder, these espresso grinders are worth a look. I typically grind several days worth of coffee at a time, because I don’t have the counter space to keep the grinder out for daily use. If you love to spice things up and try new beans you should consider trying a coffee delivery service. It is an easy way to get coffee delivered to your home.

Capresso Infinity Conical Burr provides the widest range of precision grinding for every type of brewing method from Turkish, espresso, drip coffee, French press, pour-over brewers and percolators.

I was so glad to find out that this coffee grinder is super easy to use, but has more functionality than most other grinders. The Conical Burr can grind your coffee in whatever form you need. From Turkish (very thin/finely ground) to drip (medium, your standard coffee maker) to French Press (larger grind/thicker) you are able to get the perfect texture you desire. I use an espresso machine, a standard coffee and a peculator, which all 3 require different grind settings. Having this grinder on hand has given me the opportunity to use the same bag of coffee in all three machines. If you use the large grinders found in some grocery stores, you are mixing your beans with goodness knows what else. With the help of a coffee press, you can make coffee to your choice whether it is light or strong. By having a personal machine you can keep it as clean as you want with the satisfaction of knowing what has gone into and out of that device.

Be sure to read the user manual before use! I couldn’t figure it out on my own, but once I took a peek at the instructions I could use the machine with ease. Be sure NEVER to put water inside the machine to clean it. The machine is a closed unit and cannot be rinsed with water. It does come with a brush that you may use to dust it out. I shake mine out upside down above my sink or trash can, then dust out with the provided brush after each use. If you let old grinds sit inside of it, they turn stale and just gross. Be sure to maintain your machine after each use and putting it away.

Mothers Day Must Haves 2017

When Mothers Day comes this year we will all be giving or getting gifts. Some tangible, others not. Even giving something similar to these Mothers Day Leis could make a great mother’s day gift. MamatheFox did the dirty work and put together a list of the top items to give this Mothers Day.

1.) Mothers Necklace – by Danique Jewelry! Mothers love getting new jewelry. If you are wanting a gorgeous and classic piece then you want to work with Danique Jewelry. Danique Jewelry specializes in making custom birthstone jewelry from necklaces to bracelets and rings. You can add as many children stones to the piece as you desire, making this great for small and large families. MamatheFox’s favorite feature is that Danique Jewelry offers a custom leaf with the child’s initial so further the personalize the piece. These little details, the high quality and timeless look makes this the top runner for jewelry this Mothers Day.

2.) Sleep! Let the mom in your life take a nap, sleep in and just relax a bit today. This is one of the easiest gifts to give. So fellas, when the kids come creeping in, be the hero and quickly (and quietly) sweep them out of her room and keep them busy far away from your sleeping beauty. 3.) Sunday Riley C.E.O Cream. This amazing cream, which has been newly released by the ever amazing Sunday Riley, is not named CEO for being the boss, but for its main ingredients, vitamin C and exopolysaccharides. These ingredients help protect skin from pollution and aid in the fight against signs of aging. They also included antioxidants, which together gives us the C.E.O. name. If you are a women who is like me, and thinking more and more about what I can do to keep my skin youthful, then this is a the new cream from you collection. It would make a great mother’s day gift along with an evening of peace and quiet while she enjoys the custom photo blanket of the family.

4.) Clean up! Tidy up the house. Keep up with the dishes, toss in a load of laundry, wash a toilet! Any and all of these acts are 100% on your ladies wish list. These are daily activities and may not seem like a traditional gift, but she will be thrilled to get the day off from these necessary tasks. 5.) Kitchen Appliances/Tools. Kyocera Pan Sets

When it comes to choosing kitchen appliances for your mother for mother’s day, it’s always best to read reviews like those from All Great Appliances first, as it allows you to make an informed choice that won’t let her down. Here, we take a look at some appliances that would make safe purchases and be sure to put a smile on her face. Kyocera is a trusted brand that has been around for years. I have used a TON of pans throughout time as a person who loves to cook. I have tried many name brands throughout the years, but none are like the Kyocera Coated Pans. They come with a heavy steel handle, which makes holding and maneuvering great. The underside is coated with a special layer of metal to ensure that all the food, no matter where it is in the pan (center or outside edges) it is completely evenly cooked. I LOVE that feature. I dont have to rotate the food in the pan to ensure an even cook. My husband keeps raving about how great they are, he loves how easy they are to clean and that no marks are left behind. We highly suggest trying a pan by Kyocera soon.

Kuhn Rikon Micro Pressure Cooker

Pressure Cookers have always intimated me. I mean, the concept of cooking food faster than you would normally be able to cook it in a confection oven is pretty cool. This Kuhn Rikon Mirco Pressure Cooker is made to be used in the microwave, which makes it smaller and easier to store. If you have wanted to try one out but not sure what you can really do with a pressure cooker, have no fear! This cooker comes with a recipe book full of yummy recipes to try. Soups, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, even desserts, you will be sure to find a few suggested recipes you will love. Each recipe they provide it for a serving of 4! Perfect for the average family. But dont forget – use mitts when removing from the microwave, as it will be hot. One bonus tip – take a look at BuyersImpact.co.uk for some reviews of all the newest kitchen appliances. Reading reviews is a great way to make sure you are investing in a quality product.

6.) Yorba Organics Bath Goodies!

Yorba Organics is one of the coolest organic companies around. Using wild harvested ingredients, they not only care about the environment but also about you. They think every person is precious and that we should know fully what we are putting on and in us. Their main active ingredients are sustainable naturally and don’t require fertilizers or chemicals to regrow once harvested. Better for the earth and better for you. They search the globe high and low, in remote forests and jungles to find the right ingredients for their products. They will not settle for just any old ingredient. They do this to locate high concentrations of beneficial ingredients, and it has paid off.

7.) Plume All Natural Eyelash Enhancing Serum If you lust for longer, thicker, fuller eye lashes then you are going to love Plume! Their amazing, all natural, serum will naturally and safely thicken your eyelashes in as little as 3 weeks. It is suggested that you use the whole container over a 90 day period for max results. The coolest part about this product is that it is safe for pregnant and nursing mothers to use. Simply brush on your eyelashes at the base, or in your eye brows and after a short period of time you will see wonderful results. Don’t forget to take pictures to show your before and after results with your friends and on social media.
