My coffee grinder was like 8 bucks. It's a little handheld thing that you put the beans in and crank a handle on. A minute later, you have enough fresh ground coffee for 3-4 cups

I agree, but on the other hand the small plastic electric grinders you can get for $50 are kind of shoddy and probably won't last you more than a couple years tops. There's a good price point probably somewhere around $100-150 I'd guess. 400 is way too much.

Or like the dude above me said you can just get a cheap manual one and that'll last you forever.

I bought a decent espresso machine and a grinder for like 16 bucks total at a local thrift store. Sure, it's not a fancy burr-style grinder that you need for espresso, but it gets the job done. Just remember to get a tamper to press down the grounds in your portafilter. This helps give you more consistent shots(or "pulls" if you lucked out and got a lever style machine at goodwill). Also, if you make espresso at work your break room smells like a cool coffee house all day long and that's pretty rad too :)

Coffee, tea, caffeine and risk of depression: A systematic review and dose–response meta‐analysis of observational studies

quote:

Six articles 22-26, 28 including 327 697 individuals and 5253 cases of depression were considered for the analysis of the extreme categories of coffee consumption and depression. RRs with 95% CIs of depression for the highest versus the lowest (reference) coffee consumption category was calculated for seven datasets and resulted in a 24% decreased risk of depression (RR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.91; Fig. 2). However, small heterogeneity was found among prospective and cross‐sectional studies (Fig. 2). Among prospective, all studies reported decreased risk of depression for higher intake of coffee, while the main contributor for heterogeneity was the study of Ruusunen et al. 22 due to large 95% CI (the study accounted for only 49 cases of depression of 2183 individuals). Among cross‐sectional investigations, the study of Omagari et al. 25 reported a much lower risk estimate than the others and very large CIs due to small sample and low number of cases (89 individuals and 15 depressed patients). Visual inspection of the funnel plot suggested asymmetry toward the study of Omagari et al. 25 (Supporting Information Fig. 1). Possible reasons may be study size, study quality, and lack of adjustments for any confounders. After exclusion of studies one at a time, absence of the study of either Ruusunen et al. 22 or Omagari et al. 25 did not change overall risk estimates, but leaded to significant reduction of heterogeneity (I2 = 0%) and confirmed a significant reduced risk of depression among prospective studies (RR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84, 0.97). Subgroup analyses were conducted to test the stability of results (Table 2). Overall, higher coffee consumption had a protective effect against depression in all subgroups except when analyses were not adjusted for dietary variables or social isolation (Supporting Information Table 1).



...


A dose–response analysis per 500 mL/day increase of tea consumption suggested significant reduced risk of depression associated with tea consumption (RR 0.85, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.98; Fig. 3), yet with evidence of heterogeneity and conclusions of subgroup analyses due to the aforementioned study of Guo et al. 24 (Supporting Information Table 2). Visual inspection of dose–response effect (Fig. 3) revealed no significant correlation between tea and risk of depression (Table 2). However, the study of Guo et al. 24 showed also a subgroup analysis by caffeinated or decaffeinated beverages, resulting in a significant decreased risk of depression for the second and the third highest category of caffeinated tea consumption versus the lowest (reference). Therefore, two additional models including risk estimates from (i) caffeinated and decaffeinated tea and (ii) caffeinated tea only showed a potential reduced risk of depression for increased intake of tea (Supporting Information Table 2 and Supporting Information Fig. 3).

Protecting your virginity



Before I had to quit coffee for medical reasons, I was totally a coffee snob.

If you want the good poo poo buy Dominican or Jamacian Blue mountain coffee as the beans, grind them yourself, and run it through an actually good espresso machine (the kind with a scoop you turn by hand, not that automated kind). The result is a shot so powerful yet mellow that it has zero of that acidic bite at all. No need to turn it into a latte. Blew my loving mind first time I tried it.

Coffee that good costs at least 30 bucks a lb. though :(

Protip: if coffee gives you GERD or other acid related issues, low acid blends exist. If you’re not near a coffee shop fancy enough for that, drink cold brew. The way the beans are treated makes them less acidic and even trash-tier coffee shops like Dunkin Donuts have it now.

I’m not saying this to be smug but all Starbucks products taste REALLY acidic for some reason. Like the bile at the back of your theoat before you puke level of acidic. I worked at a Starbucks during college and asked why, a manager said all of their beans were over-roasted.

Honestly for decent tasting cheap morning commute coffee, I really like McDonald’s iced drinks.

Yeah, it's the one way they can keep a homogenized "flavour" for their beans is by roasting away any nuance. There are some coffee types that are more acidic as well. A darker roast also has less caffeine, I think.

Oh, yeah. It's a great way to get an energy kick, both because it's a caffeine jolt and the flavour is like dunking your head into ice water. There's a reason why a double-double is the preferred method of drinking it.
