Coffee

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.

@Broark:

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?

[Appfaff]

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

[Jett129]

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.

Thanks guys. I’ll have to  choose a more Economical coffee grinder but I appreciate the input

@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.

[Stuart.T]

@gaseousclay it adds a little depth to the notes of the coffee…enema juices that is

I might check those out myself. I usually use a Hario or Portex mini hand grinder unless I’m in a hurry. For those days I have an old bladed grinder which isnt all that great. My missus isnt excited about another $200 appliance so this might slip under the radar.

This morning is Chameleon Mocha with IH & Fireking
