      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.

        https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Ceramic-Skerton-Capacity-MSCS-2B/dp/B01B2O5VOM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1514977623&sr=8-4&keywords=hario+skerton+ceramic+coffee+mill

        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.

                                      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.

                                          I received a subscription to Grounds for Change for my birthday and have been impressed. Normally I buy fresh roasted beans locally, but my step mom knows of my love for good coffee and hooked me up.  GFC is doing a lot of things right in terms of agriculture, and I appreciate knowing farmers and the environment are taken care of whileI get my fix.

                                            Do i make sense?
