      Interested in the chemex, but I like that the Kalita allows me to brew directly into the container of my choice, which is a Yeti tumbler.  I may have to grab a large size chemex for making bigger family batches, but the Kalita 185 is the perfect size to fill my Yeti.

      Last year I was doing some consulting in Puerto Rico and got to take a private tour of the Hacienda San Pedro coffee plantation with the 3rd generation owner in Jayuya.  The coffee is incredible and they will ship it to you for some coin.  Just a warning though…you may not like other coffee after drinking this.

                  😞 😞 😞 Not knowing how long it will be until I am able to get more coffee from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria destroyed the island, I have the PR stashed and have moved into a micro lot from Mexico…awesome stuff here.

                  I like the Rhoades Roast Green Dragon Coffee House out of New Jersey...they do their own roasting daily and have an excellent rotating variety of global beans to pick from.  Lots of unique single origin coffees and I can buy through Amazon.

                      I need suggestions!
                      What is your favorite way to make coffee in the morning?
                      French press?
                      Pour over?
                      Something else?
                      What brand do you prefer and do you buy ground? Or grind yourself? If so, what kind of grinder?

                      Throw em at me!

                                      Really like their Fishtown and Haiti blends

                                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                      Well, I have others.

                                        @Brock In my opinion what matters most is the quality of the water and the quality of the coffee bean used.  If you're using good water and good coffee you are going to get a good cup no matter what way you choose to brew.  Buy whole bean and grind directly before the brew for best taste.  I love cold brew too, but my typical daily kit is as follows:

                                        Kalita Wave, Ceramic Burr Grinder, Gooseneck Kettle, Fresh Roasted Beans of all kinds, Yeti 20oz Tumbler.

                                        Drinking shade grown, organic Peruvian approcassi right now and it is amazing!

                                          I use either a Hario v60 (2cup version) or a French press and enjoy having both options for variety (pour over–brighter cup. French press--more full bodied w/sediment)
                                          Aeropress for travel/camping  (makes great coffee, just limited on volume.

                                          Burr grinder, for home:  Baratza Virtuoso

                                          Travel:  Hario handgrinder.

                                          And agree with budpatch that fresh spring water and Freshly roasted (less than 10days old) quality beans is more important than grinder or method.

                                          I switch between single origins and blends, as well as changing up roasters--I have a short list of local favorites.

                                          I'd like to give the Kalitta a try soon, as I've heard nothing but good stuff about it.

                                          Enjoy the jouney!

                                            We recently bought a French press and I have been buying ground coffee. It’s alright but I’m definitely going to look into buying a grinder and finding locally roasted organic beans
