@mclaincausey:

Do it Finn, aeropress is amazing…  I have a pour-over rig that came with a burr grinder I just ordered, so I'll add that to the repertoire, but I really love the aeropress and it would be hard to displace/replace.  It makes a mean cup of java and is really efficient (easy clean-up, etc)....

def. will do so, thanks!

btw. do you guys buy beans and then grind them on your own, or is it also common, that one buys already grinded coffe?
you may have more types of beans to chose from, when buying them as a whole, right?!

[mclaincausey]

I never buy beans ground.  Whole beans and a burr grinder right before the roast for me.

[Finn666]

thanks for the hint mate.

btw. do you guys give me the green light for this one

I'd go this route: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZD3QJC/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It comes with a nylon bag and two filter packs.

[Finn666]

hmmm should be the exact same thing though (except for the number of filters and the plastic bag)…?!

[mclaincausey]

Yeah and maybe cheaper?  Don't know the exchange rate.  Identical product for sure.

[Finn666]

yeah, should be cheaper like 7 or 8 dollars i think. not a member of amazon though and the one from ebay ships from germany for free as well…so gonna order that one.

now, what grinder to buy? manuel or electronic?

eyeing this one (not sure if good, but it looks good and cost less)

[mclaincausey]

I'd be interested to heard others' opinions on the matter, but mine is this:

This. It's the only way to do it.

Is my grinder, I hand grind my beans daily :). A great way to start the day, takes up less space, I love the form of it as much as the function too. Portability was/is a factor. If I do travel I want to be able to take a grinder with me, even if on the road…Thermo filled with boiling water + hand grinder + aero press = perfect cup, anywhere in the world.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot wade…

you're able to post a pic of the grinder when in use, or besides a coffee mug? would be helpful, thanks...

[Snowy]

Here's one I prepared earlier;

^That's the full hario getup above BTW, from left to right;
Hario Buono, Hario Skerton, (Stumptown Mug), Hario V60 Range Server 2 (clear glass), Hario V60, Cova Kone V3 (the filter I use in the V60).

[Finn666]

looks nice, thanks.

[llvlaglne]
