Choosing the right coffee grinds

Next, make sure you have the correct grind for your particular coffee machine. There is no one all-purpose grind. You need to choose your coffee grinds from the two main groups, depending if you are using a press pot or an electric machine to fill your coffee cups. For press pots, you ll want to grind your own beans for about 10 second in your typical, inexpensive blade grinder. This will leave your grinds at a medium to coarse consistency and make for delicious coffee mugs.

For electric brewers and other drip machines, you ll need to grind your own beans for about 15-20 seconds. This will result in a medium to fine grind, not to mention perfectly steamy coffee mugs.

Look for the grade of the bat

If you want to see if your college baseball bats are made from one of these advanced alloys, simply look at the bat. Usually, manufacturers are so proud of the fact that they ll announce it in big bold letters on the bat. Then again, if you re bat is -11 or lighter, it is required by law not to state what kind of alloy is used in its fabrication. In any case, these lighter bats probably do not contain the stronger newer alloys. To make weight, the manufacturer probably used a lighter alloy for the thinner walls of the bat.

If you want to be able to know exactly what is in your college baseball bats, look for the grade number on them. For instance, a grade number of 7046 means that the bat is fabricated with standard aircraft aluminum, a material fit for many budget bats.

The grade 7050 means the aluminum alloy contains an amount of copper, which makes it one-third stronger than 7046. Other numbers and grades, of course, designate other alloy blends and different strengths.
