Coffee

[Macpotata]

Don't mind a good Coffee. Got me through night shift all those years. The Mrs is a Coffee nut and got me onto it. I'm now like Scott Pendlebury. Enjoy chilling at home watching my NBA with my coffee machine.

Wheres best place in Perf to buy beans?
So far Yahava is where its at for a rip off espresso.
Any one know where there is fresher stronger beans with the South American flavour?

Picked up 500g Lazzio Grind from Aldi for about $6.

Not bad value.

I have an Aeropress and love it.

I have two - one for work and one for home.
Love the flavor, brings out the subtleties. I tend to drink my coffee black with about half a teaspoon of sugar just to take the edge of the bitterness.

It's not that much worse than Vittoria or Lavazza, both of which are quite expensive for the quality I reckon.

Exactly my thoughts. 3 x the price for those brands. I'm not a good enough coffee snob to know the difference.

For those in Melbourne i grabbed some of the beans from manchester press in the cbd when i was there as it was soo good

I never drank coffee until I started in a Government job where drinking coffee is the first thing everyone in the office does.

I still can't tell the difference between instant and proper roasted beans but I can definitely taste when they burn the coffee.

Hey - instant are properly roasted too! Just really really dark and then freeze dried [emoji23]

It’s roasted in Sydney by a batch roaster - much fresher than lavazza/Vittoria. They actually buy decent green beans to start with

Must have changed ... as long as they’re doing a good job that’s all that counts. Using fresh whole bean coffee and grinding it on demand beats instant/ore ground/pod by light years

My favourite coffee bean is actually Starbucks Guatemala Antigua Cocoa Spice, has a nice very subtle cocoa taste. Otherwise I drink Cofeex Scuro everyday.

Anyone have any suggestions for a reasonable coffee grinder? (electric or manual, doesn't matter)

Hoping to spend no more than $100, if possible.

A couple of weeks back I bought an aeropress and an electric grinder. Still getting used to it but it's a pretty simple system. I just find it doesn't make enough. I'm also a temperature wuss so I end up having to add plenty of water to it and I'm sure that just dilutes the flavour.

Try for a ratio of 12g it coffee to 200g hot water brewed for 90sec. If it’s too weak, add another gram of coffee, if you want more beverage add another gram coffee and 20g water

Whatever you spend on a manual grinder, it will be as good as an electric grinder 5 times the price.

I’ve got a Helor 101 and it’s worth every cent that I paid for it - you’ll have it for life. The parts are first class and it’s Australian made

I’d seriously just pony up for one, and never look back

Any electric grinder you'll get for under $100 will be rubbish, so I'd probably stick with a manual. For that price, you can't go wrong with the Hario Skerton Ceramic:

I'd actually discourage someone from buying a more expensive manual grinder - the bang-for-your-buck from the Hario is exceptional.

That's actually what I went with.

A friend who's a bit of a coffee snob advised I get that as it's as good of a bang for my buck as I could get.

Totally disagree

The mechanism which holds the burrs in the Hario Skerton has no stabiliser in the grind chamber. You get a shit load of dust (fine coffee) and a shit load of boulders (big grinds). Uneven grinding leads to a mixture of over and under extracted coffee - you can 100% tell the difference.

Take it from a guy with 10 years industry experience in speciality coffee

 

[Demosthenes]

Yeah, nah. The grind consistency is fine for all practical purposes.

The fact you can spend 3-4 times the price to get a fancy stabilised hand grinder that does it better doesn't mean it's a sensible idea. There are plenty of better places to spend that money if you want to improve the quality of your home coffee.

For most people? Lessons.

Telling your average home coffee maker that they need to obsess to the nth degree over grind consistency is like saying MAMILs should fret over which carbon fibre rims will save them 100g.

Don't tell people they need to spend a fortune on unnecessary equipment.

I can give you a lesson in 10 seconds. Chuck 15g or coffee in your aeropress, 200g hot water, give it a stir and push out after 80 seconds

The question was about grinders. If you’re going to spend 100 on a grinder that is flimsy and you’ll want to upgrade once you learn more, just spend another $100 and have one that will last you forever
