You get the fancy filters for the aeropress. 😂

Yeah, it's a much smaller investment and does great if he's got an existing hot water kettle he likes.

I think you would have the issue of getting closer to the beans, but might be worth a try if you already have one.

Not needed for aeropress. 👍

A lot of hobbies are like this where people can start with lower cost options and then upgrade.

On my journey I was using a blade grinder for a while and I think it's a good starting place, but when setting up to a burr grinder, I recommend to not go entry level, mid level is going to yield a better investment.

I picked up the Encore ESP for the following reasons:

• I'm lazy and would be tired of manual grinding
• Coffee making not exclusive to me in the home
• Nice set of burrs and easy to clean
• Ability to add bellow to decrease retention
• Equal to price of a months coffee if going out

For machines, the aeropress is a great low effort and cost entry to making great tasting coffee.

Great post to get a discussion going. 👍

All systems normal?

This looks like a way better interface over Synology photos which is fine, but missing the search and map feature. You need to see if they are hiring 😂

Awesome! They have a lot of beans to choose from.👍

I found this site as well for a good point of reference for starting my V60 journey: Coffee Grind Chart

First brew, sour lol might need a try s finer grind.... Lol

I just ordered the V60 number 2 kit in brown. Should be here this week. I'm excited to take a try at pour over at home.
