Now that I've discovered the Empty Cup Awards, I’m not just going to be mentally critiquing the choice of coffee drunk on TV (really? she’s drinking that swill?!), I’m going to be watching for empty cups, too!

Most of us don’t pay attention to this and don’t clean our grinder regularly. Over time, coffee oils and residue build up and can start to affect both the taste and performance of your grinder.

The good news is that cleaning a grinder is quick and easy. Read on for our tips - and we've got you covered, whether your grinder is blade or burr.
Not sure what you’re in the mood for? Are you reading through our coffee selections and thinking “they all sound good!”? Well there is a solution!
We created the Sparkplug Coffee Sampler so you can try them all. It puts together generous 200 g bags (almost 1/2 lb. for you old school peeps) of our 3 signature blends plus the current feature coffee. That’s 800 g of coffee altogether - almost 2 pounds and enough of each to get a good sense of how you like each one.
