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

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

          The Cuisinart Supreme grind is $50,might be a good place to start.

            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.

              I like to think my Baratza Virtuoso($229) makes a big difference,but I should probably just put my beans in an old sock and hit them with a hammer  🔨 Just playing.

                I just use some $20 dollar Bodum one I’ve had for a few years now, I just was wondering if I was really missing out on much by not using something nicer.

                  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  😃

                              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.

                                      @Matty123 - my folks have a Bodum burr grinder and it adjusts settings and does pretty well. They are about 1/4-1/6 of the Barazza Price and can even be found at TJMaxx

                                            Krups also makes a really good burr grinder for around $50. Didn’t know what your budget was.
