Hi coffee thread, I want to start learning to appreciate and making better cups of coffee than my super cheap drip machine but I'm also super lazy and don't want to do much prep work in the mornings. Is there some stuff you guys would recommend to help me?

Clark Nova posted:I think Capresso Infinity and Baratza Encore are still the go-to recommendations for a first burr grinder. It's an extra step but you're never going to get good coffee with pre-ground beans. If i picked up a grinder, What kind of difference would those drips make over my current cheap drip? What makes them better?

withak posted:They make a more uniform grind. The grind size affects extraction, and a spinny blade grinder will chop some beans into dust and leaves some very coarse so it will be different every time. A burr grinder grinds to the same uniform size every time so you don't have some unknown, uncontrollable grind size variable that changes in every batch you brew. Ok that makes sense for the grinders, though I was also wondering about what makes the bonivita or Technivorm drips better than my $30 drip

Ok, so my good coffee plan seems to be to buy this Bonavita BV1901PS for $95 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078WD5QBV Then also pick up the Capresso infinity (mostly cause it's cheaper than the other one). Seem reasonable?
