Ended up getting an electric burr grinder since it’s faster than the manual one I posted earlier and makes mrs mononcqc use it too. Also one of our friends started a micro-roasting shop. End result is that through that and a French press this household is now 98% off pods and gets much better coffee for it

single-task kitchen gizmos are almost always a waste of space and money but a burr grinder’s the exception imo

if you already have a coffee zone then adding a good grinder doesn’t take up that much additional space however I put the grinder away from the drip coffee because accidentally splashing water on a grinder isn’t great

the kenya roast isnt as chocolaty and mellow as the guatamala but it's still a good roast and today is dreary so something a bit stronger flavored is helpfulRustyKnight posted:I’m using manual grinder because I’m poor i still have a cheap blade grinder

ya unless you specifically want espresso all the time there isn’t much reason to get an espresso machine, and maintaining them can be a pita, especially compared to most other methods which are really quite simple

imo the hario skerton is, unfortunately, way too plastic to be reliable- the axle gets off-kiler with very little resistance and the result is very imprecise grind (fine for french press or whatever, but you'd be about as well off with a dang blade grinder). the hario was actually my first manual burr grinder, but I was not thrilled with it. you want a good, cheap manual grinder that takes up little space and is also even more portable? get a porlex; i now love my mini.

I’ve had the tall porlex mini for about 8 months and it’s been good, I don’t have any other hand grinders to compare it with tho the only complaint I can think of is there’s a gap between the outer burr and the main body and I wonder how many grinds are stuck in there at this point

did a trial run with the new moka pot last night, beans were ground way too fine and it was struggling to brew anything so this morning I set the grinder as coarse as it’d go and got some good moka

Currently drinkin' sour, boiled perked coffee adulterated with heavy cream and saccharin - just the way I like it! Bad coffee is nostalgia for me. But nostalgia is a harsh mistress, I bailed halfway through this video because Jesus Christ these guys are relentless assholes, bitching about their wives' "bad coffee". Make your own coffee you loving chud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWIwD9eQ4eQ Also gently caress you ad companies for trying to make women so goddamn insecure they'll buy lovely 50's instant or preground cans. No wonder back then they popped Miltowns like they were Pez candy.
