e: snide comment removed as I didn't see the last page.

Cheat sheet:

Do you just want a regular-rear end cup of coffee/latte? Go to 1. If you want crazy poo poo, go to 4.
1) Do you need more than 4 cups at at time? If Yes, go to 2. If no, go to 3.
2) Any Mr. Coffee style drip coffee maker is fine. No really, the drip mechanism makes the temp about right, they're fine.
3) Aeropress. Goddamn this thing is cool, and cheap, and customizable. You can make any kind of coffee you want in this thing.
4) Strong drip coffee is NOT loving ESPRESSO. GODDAMN. Click the link above for more.

EH?!?!?!
Is there a huge disparity in water filter jugs/faucet attachments? I put so many bottles in the recycle every month that maybe I should switch to something better.

If you have even rudimentary plumbing skills, you should install and under the sink filter. Costs about 50 bucks and will last you a year befoe you need to replace the filter.

I like freshly cracked ground pepper.

But I don't like biting into the big broken cracked pepper kernel pieces.

Is there a pepper grinder that grinds pepper kernels super duper fine so I can't tell they're there when I eat stuff?

I bought the ones recommended by sweethome, I think the magnum? at the finest setting it's basically outputting powder.

Well, read the wall of text and see which one rated the highest for fine grinds. It may not be the #1 overall.

It's really hard to tell. According to that wall-o-text, metal shards came out of the Magnum they tested, so you might ought to consider a new pepper mill yourself.

Apart from that, the Peugeot appears to be the best for fine grinds, but I only skimmed the article.

If you want a recommendation, mine would be to read the article. (Also the magnums are rad, I think they got a bum one)

I hit the larger points. I was just hoping for more of...... a quick recommendation.

I got that the the Peugeot is great for finer grinds, and that the one below it isn't particularly good about those.

I think it sounds like the Peugeot is the way to go. That or the Magnum, based on the recommendations in this thread.

Yip Yip, bitch.
I use the magnum for cooking because it will output huge amounts of pepper. I use the Peugot for seasoning because it will get the grind size down to fine powder. I've never had my magnum get it that fine.

Right now I'm more concerned with grind fineness than output volume; the finer, the better. So it sounds like Peugeot is the way to go, then?

I can always buy a Magnum for cooking purposes later, if I need to.
