Tea is the number one drink in the world, but that is most likely due to its ease of travel. Because it is in bags it can go anywhere without sacrificing taste. Coffee is also a large staple in the drink world and is heavily ingrained in many cultures. In America, coffee is drunk all day, but it is best known as a morning ritual. It is the drink that starts to the day.
Schools of thought on how to brew the perfect cup of coffee vary broadly. Coffee seems to be an individual's drink that can be completely tailor to the individuals taste. There are, however, some static schools of thought when it comes to home brewing. The purest water available should be used and it should not be boiling, the equipment should be as clean as possible, the freshest beans should be used and this segways into the need to freshly grind beans just before they are to be brewed.
These are some umbrella rules, but they can all be broken down into even smaller pieces until it looks like minutia. Coffee is similar in this respect to the subject of wine and wine tastings. Beans give their own complex and subtle flavors that can be affected by the courseness of the ground or the temperature of the water.
One area where there is no more debate when it comes to the pure coffee lover is with grinding your own coffee. Store bought already ground coffee is essentially stale and is stripped of its essential oils.
These oils go rancid and effect flavor, but with fresh grounds there is a more robust and full flavor to excite the palate. Grinders come in three main types, hand, electric, and battery operated.
Battery coffee grinders have an advantage in that they can go anywhere with you. So much of society is focused on the green movement and being more sustainable, not having to give ourselves over the corporate system. How better to do that than by having your own battery coffee grinder that can travel with you? Taking something like this camping can bring the tastes and feel of home without the cost on your pocketbook.
Also, these grinders are easy to clean, which makes them even more suited to stick to the "always keep your equipment clean" rule. They are as powerful as any other grinder and can make the ground that you desire: from 5 seconds to course, to 30 seconds to extra fine espresso grade grinds.
Whatever your preference and tastes, and where you are, a battery coffee grinder can go with you to help make you coffee to the standards you've become accustomed to.
