Coffee

Thanks for the replies all!!
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 beansSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing compares to fresh ground beans, and a burr grinder is mandatory in my opinion. I use a Baratza Encore, and have a few hand grinders too. @Chap that Comandante grinder looks great, the handle looks very ergonomic.
90% of the time I am using a Chemex or Hario V60, depending on the company or lack of, 10% split between french press and stove top espresso.

It is and it's one of the most smooth-running hand grinder I know. It is not cheap and I was thinking quite a while wether to do this investment but now after almost one year in daily use I can say it is worth it.

If anyone is interested, Target is now carrying Hario V60 sets and kettles and as of yesterday were 25% off.

Sun died Bali Kintamali… a different profile due to the natural processing method. Really good stuff. Kalita 185, ceramic burr grinder.

Just buy a cheap one from Target. Its all about how long you grind the beans for not what machine they're in. We use a KitchenAid that was like $20 and it works just fine.

Do you guys have any recommendations for grinders?
Preferably under $100, I don't want to break the bank.Is decent for the price point; $33.

I have a single speed grinder ad while it works well, would prefer a dial adjustment grinder for a more consistent grind. Since i use several methods of brewing. Just sayin.

@Appfaff Adam, saw on another thread you drink bulletproof coffee…what are your impressions of it?
I make a similar version (fresh coffee, grassfed cow butter, blended), but I use some coconut oil instead of the bulletproof formula.
Is the bulletproof formula worth the money?
-
I got the bulletproof XCT oil (it’s essentially really pure MCT oil, same in normal coconut oil) because it was massively on sale at Whole Foods a while ago. It dosnt make the coffee as “coconut-y,” so I dig it. I also use only a very little bit of the grass fed butter. I don’t drink it everyday, but it’s a nice change up small amounts and much healthier than a standard latte

Gotcha.
Yeah, I am definitely a fan of switching my coffee up. I was on a butter/coconut oil kick for awhile and now I've been back to cream and sugar for a minute, but will likely switch back again soon
In consciously making an effort to eat better (via advice from my doctor and the snugness of my shirts), I have to say that dairy and sugar in my morning coffee is one thing I just can't compromise on

Recommendations for an electric or hand grinder? I’d like it do be able
To do espresso grind as well as coarse grind. Thanks ‘erbody -
Don’t know what your budget is but I swear by my Baratza Virtuoso grinder. I do pour overs,french press,and Chemex coffee. My brother in-law is a fanatic for pulling the best espresso shots,so he has a high end Rancillo grinder. Don’t know if you need that level. Hope this helps.

I use this. It makes exceptional coffee. It's a revelation. It uses the same basic principle as massively expensive coffee machines.
