Introduction

Your Krups coffee grinder allows you to grind your own coffee beans right in your own home. With such a variety of coffee beans available in supermarkets and gourmet shops, owning the Fast-Touch Grinder is sophisticated and economical. The best result, however, is that you get fresh coffee, every time!

Light roasted beans seem to be the most popular in North America, and dark roasts have been associated more with the heavier coffees, such as Espresso and Turkish. These dark roast, however, can also be brewed for «regular» coffee.

Coffee beans are also categorized as straight coffees or blends. The straight coffees consist of beans from a single area; blend consist of beans from several areas, which sometimes results in a superior coffee combination.

The best way to familiarize yourself with coffee is to purchase small quantities of several different varieties. Eventually, you will learn which beans and blends suit your personal taste. Perhaps you will soon start blending your own «house blends»!
