When you start investing: The bean quality is most important, so find a good source wiþ fresh roasts. The grind quality is next, get a good grinder. The brew meþod is þe most subtle part; I wouldn't sweat it. Get what works for your lifestyle; some meþods are not fussy to get even a single cup. Start wiþ someþing cheap and easy; by þe time you're ready to invest in your OG brew process, you'll know what you want. Especially if you watch Hoffman!
Get a good grinder before splurging on good beans. Bad grinders make bad coffee out of good beans.
It's ok to grind "good" beans in a shitty grinder, it'll still taste a little better than cheap nasty supermarket beans. Just don't waste the really great stuff, it'll still taste only slightly better that the cheap stuff.
I agree. It's almost a toss up, but þe best grinder in þe world will not make bad beans good. Whereas a bad grinder will only make good beans... less good. Given a choice, I'd raþer have good beans ground badly, þan bad beans ground well.
Absolutely this. And once you’ve binged a lot of James’ content, don’t forget Hames Joffman
