Any opinions on this Capresso disk burr grinder? http://www.amazon.com/Capresso-580-01-Disk-Grinder-Black/dp/B001G8Y2NG In general, are disk burr grinders worth it, or should I just spring for a conical one?

Residency Evil posted:Thanks for all of the coffee suggestions guys, I'll check a few out. Looks like Blue Bottle will be my go to morning place while I'm there. I love Blue Bottle beans to death, so I would definitely recommend grabbing some. Of course, you'll get a chance to try them out, so you can make the decision yourself. On a mostly unrelated note, I've been getting fairly sour coffee lately, which I've taken a sign of underextraction. I've lowered the grind size and increased the brew time in my French press all the way up to 5-6 minutes, which pretty much fixes the problem, but I'm concerned that I'm losing some subtleties by brewing for so long. Should I just keep dialing the grind size down and keep the brew time at 4 minutes?

It's a lot better than those awful Costco-sized red Folgers pre-ground coffee tins that take like a month to get through, that's for drat sure. Every time I see one of those Godzilla-sized coffee buckets I feel a physical shudder. That being said, the coffee it makes is average at best. You just don't know how long the coffee has been sitting in those K-cups since it was ground, so the coffee is usual pretty tasteless.

I used to work at Google Santa Monica, actually, and our office had one of these things, but no instructions. I'm ashamed to say that I had absolutely no idea how to use it; how coarse should the grind be? What's a good temperature? What's a good roast? I spent two months and embarrassing amounts of Intelligentsia beans trying to figure it out, but I could never get a properly extracted cup of coffee. No matter what I did, it came out tasting like I had brewed it for about 40 seconds, which makes sense, since it brewed it in about 40 seconds.
