Having the right coffee equipment can make the difference between having a mediocre cup of joe and a great cup of joe. There are also other factors to consider also such as how long it's been since the beans were ground up, how long ago they were roasted, and how good the quality of the beans were to begin with.
Coffee that is freshly roasted and ground up before being brewed is much better then if it has gotten stale.
Coffee Grinders
Using a coffee grinder to grind your beans will help you get a better tasting coffee. Using a coffee bean roaster would be even better. Even if you use a lesser quality of bean and ground it up as you go it will still have a better taste then if you buy gourmet beans that have gotten stale.
Coffee bean grinders come in all different makes and models and if you want it to taste the best it can you should consider freshly grinding the beans. If you have a coffee shop you definitely need to have two grinders, one for decaf and one for regular. Your decaf customers would probably not appreciate a caffeine buzz with their morning cup of joe.
If your a lover of espresso then a coffee espresso machine should be high on your list of equipment. The only true way to get a good espresso at home is to use an espresso machine.
The majority of espresso machines fall into three categories, the semi-automatic, automatic, and the super automatic. Because the automatic machines can be programed, it is the most used. They say timing is everything with espresso and 23 seconds seems to be it. It is often hard to judge the time with the semi-automatic machines.
The super automatic espresso machines are a whole coffee station rolled into one. They do everything for you from grinding the beans, tamping and pulling the espresso shots, turning off and in some cases, even get rid of the grounds for you. They are definitely high tech and considered works of art by some, and seem to be the source of great fascination for espresso lovers, and the price definitely reflects that. However for extreme coffee lovers, price is irrelevant when it comes to getting quality equipment.
Always try to get an espresso machine that can be serviced locally and has parts available. It can be real easy to buy one just because it has all of the bells and whistles but if it breaks down, you'll need to get it repaired, preferably before you need another espresso.
