1st coffee of the day is now made with the Clever Dripper pour over. It let's you steep your coffee before drawdown. If your only used to a V60 pour over, get own, they are great. With the right beans and grind, the coffee it brews is delicious. They cost about £28 so I reckon £ for £ it's the best way to make coffee out there.
2nd coffee of the day is always an espresso based milk drink made with my Sage Bambino. Since working from home I've become obsessed with refining recipes, exploring roasters, and the region/altitude the coffee is grown at. Its not healthy.

@Jett129 I make coffee for my wife and I using the one pictured. I use 25g of coffee, 450g boiling water (40g to bloom, then poor on the remaining 420g). That gives us a decent 250g coffee each. I wouldn't want more than that as I also have a couple of double espresso drink in any given day, and any more caffeine would send me bonkers
Depending on the beans I'm using I brew for a total of 3 mins for a lighter roast and 2.40 for a darker roast. It takes a sz4 filter paper - I use unbleached filter papers. I've not ventured into the world of cloth, feels a bit too high maintenance for me.

Both my wife and I drink 16OZ mugs of coffee every morning just to wake up and,I’ll have one more later in the day. I,mostly, use my Chemex coffee maker. I’ve been doing it for so long that I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing how much coffee to use,so I don’t weigh it although I probably should. I use a Bonavita variable gooseneck kettle which allows me to set the temperature I want and maintains it through the brewing process. I tend to prefer the darker roasts,and I’m always looking it try new roasters. Speaking of which,my brother in law has taken his coffee fanaticism
to a new level as he is now roasting his own beans. He made me a batch recently. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Thanks for all the info. One other thing…Lately I’ve been reading that bleached filters,as long as they’re not chlorine bleached are better than their unbleached counterparts. -
Last round of Colonna Kerinci Natural (cherry, mandarin, fig leaf) from Sumatra, before starting on the next bag of beans which is Colonna again, but this time El Pouvenir Maragogype Natural (pineapple, brown sugar, capsicum) from Colombia. Southsea Coffee always stocks the best beans. All on V60 with 21 grams of hand ground on Hario Skerton Pro with approx. 350 grams of water.

Any tips for a manual grinder under $100 that would be good for grinding for all of french press, chemex and percolator espresso coarsnesses?
The usual answer would be Comandante but they are around €200+… I heard good things about Aergrind: https://www.madebyknock.com/store/c1/Aergrind

See my pic above with the Hario Skerton Pro. Fully adjustable grind. They really improved on the regular Skerton. The pro is excellent.
