Amazing for this purpose. But I’d reserve its coffee making capabilities for camping stove use. It’s a PITA to clean when you use it to make coffee. Though perhaps not much worse than a Moka Pot.

It will last a long time and you will use every day, so very well worth it. Paid $99 for mine about a decade ago. |

Date: May 12th, 2025 8:13 PM Author: CapTTTainFalcon Hello, I come here looking for some hope. My spouse had a really great career going at one place for 15 years. Life got expensive as our kids began getting older, etc and I work in education (low paid). So, my husband traded in his long time career for a job that would pay more, thinking he was climbing the ladder. Soon after, that company got bought out and he was laid off. He has been unemployed for about a year. He had severance for part of it. We have been on unemployment and living off all the savings we have. He has had tons and tons of interviews with no results. I have been in a state of fight or flight this entire time. It has completely ruined our marriage and my mental health- the instability, lack of control and no end in sight.When I think about the poor choice (of leaving his other job for something so unstable) that got us here, it makes me sick and feel so sad for him. Its been a huge loss in so many ways. We are in our mid 40s, for reference. Has anyone been in this position and things worked out? Weve never had a situation like this with unemployment and I feel hopeless.

Date: May 12th, 2025 8:52 PM Author: little man A bunch of people who don't know shit about espresso or grinders in this thread.
If you're going to a traditional italian dark roast your grinder isn't going to make a huge difference. You can generally grind very coarse and still extract enough out of the beans.
If you want light roasts you're going to have to pony up for a grinder that can grind very fine and uniformly. If you've never had specialty espresso that is correctly dialed in you won't understand it. I was rocking my Breville Barista Express for 6 years thinking I was making passable espresso. I went to a specialty coffee roaster and had a fruity light roast and it was 100x better than anything I had ever had. You could taste peach in the coffee (it sounds weird but it's really good). You can only get this by having a high quality grinder, and in order to get a high quality grinder you need to have burrs that are precise, finely machined, and adjustable to the micron.
I have no idea if these grinders are worth it for pourover, but after spending $$$ on a nice grinder I can say without a doubt it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. |

Date: May 12th, 2025 10:43 PM Author: Darnell The goal of a grinder isn't to grind finely; it's to grind consistently. A cheap blade grinder will give you pea size chunks and tiny fine particles. It's hard to predictably brew with such variation. More expensive burr grinders will give very consistently sized particles. Then you can vary extraction and other variables to your preferences (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724105&forum_id=2#48925774) |
