We grew up with Pyrex. It is a brand name for glassware introduced in the early 1900s. Then, it was made from thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass. This is a type of glass known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion making them resistant to thermal shock compared to other common glass. This kind of glass is still being used even if tempered soda lime glass is already also being used.
We were used to seeing the thick transparent Pyrex ovenware that came in sets of three lying around in our mother’s kitchens. They came into action when it was time to pour the batter for baking or when a casserole dish was put together. Pyrex may be known for their glass bake ware but they also carry ceramic, microwavable, stainless and non-stick cookware. They are all of superior durability, made with the needs of consumers in mind.

The aroma of coffee is so amazing that it lifts your spirits up. So, drinking it freshly brewed in the morning is a beautiful way to start your day. Aside from keeping your coffee fresh, coffee grinders are also known to be cost effective. Compare to off-the-shelves coffee, the one that you grind yourself has stronger aroma and flavor. The longer it stays in bean form, the longer it locks the freshness inside.
Coffee grinders are available in two basic types: manual and electric. If you’re using a drip coffee maker, you can use blade grinders as this coffee machine does not require very fine consistency. These grinders are relatively cheaper. However, if you want to prepare espresso, you would have to use burr grinders. These are typically larger, heavier and more expensive but produce very fine and uniform consistency.
