$$$$$$ Coffee!!!

[ThePenIsMightier]

For those of us whose family are enemies.

I never invite family to my house, so I don't have to worry. But guys like @killramos know what I mean.

Accurate. The filthy animals

My old coffee maker died. I'm convinced it was no name filters that killed it. Caused to much retention time for water in filter tray, and backed grinds up into the rest of machine.

Looking for suggestions on coffee maker that grinds beans also.

Terrible idea imo. get a basic burr grinder (budget about $200 - eg https://www.amazon.ca/Baratza-Encore...n%2C119&sr=1-3), and a moccamaster (eg https://www.amazon.ca/Moccamaster-10.../dp/B002S4DI2S)

This is my setup exactly (well, glass carafe moccamaster instead of insulated), and we're really happy with it.

I personally don't run the all in one grinder/brewer setup but have bought the Breville unit for my father and he and other family have used the similar Cuisinart models.

They have their place but recurring issue with these units is the grinders getting gunked up badly if you use oily/regular store bought beans and it's a pain in the ass to try and clean or take apart the unit.

The convenience of the units are nice and can produce pretty good results but is just be weary of having issues with the grinder.

I know I’m just one data point amongst all the reviews out there, but I love my Breville The Grind. I’ve had it for 3.5 years now and no issues aside from the basket cracking which i ordered a replacement for $40. Actually got the whole unit with air miles back in spring 2019 but if it broke I would dish out the $350 or whatever it costs these days for a new one.

Like mentioned above, it does require a bit of maintenance / cleanup every once in a while if the chute gets clogged, but it’s really not that bad. The hopper comes off easily, and then the top half of the burr is removable to clean up. It also asks me to descale every once in a while which is annoying but actually good that it reminds you vs “dumb” machines that most people probably have never descaled.

Overall the convenience of having grinding and brewing all in one appliance is worth it for me, I’d recommend to anyone.

It really depends on your budget and also how much coffee you drink in a day.

We prefer espresso and cappuccinos vs. brewed coffee, so we opted for a Jura super-automatic. It was a refurbished unit, iirc around $700-$800. We were advised to avoid really oily beans as well, and they recommended Monogram which is basically what we get all the time anyways so that worked out well. Even P&S they said can get oily, despite their more 'premium' brand vs. others at the store.

I'd opt for the Ratio 6 or 8 personally if you want brewed coffee.

When the work coffee sucks, you can at least make it taste like candy.

Spit in my mouth, why don't you. Same deal

Pet peeve: when ES posts non-$$$$ coffee in the $$$$ coffee thread

Got an aeropress for Christmas.

Immersion brewing ftw, good gift

Found out right away that using 2x paper filter makes a big difference in taste. Haven't messed with any other tweaks though.

Water temp is massive, only used this camping so no probe, but when the bubbles were just forming in the jetboil is when I would pour the water

I have always done a full boil and then remove from the heat from heat for 30 seconds before pouring (when I use a french press) is perfect temps. Probably a very similar heat I think.

I thought only geologist get excited for Aero presses?!
Dat perm, yo!

Same idea, but the grind is the opposite ends of the spectrum, I would imagine French Press would stand up to a higher heat, aeropress says something like 80C for brew temp?
