grawk Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 I definitely use a finer grind with the aeropress than with my drip machine. It's a balancing act so that it's still possible to use the plunger but at a very slow rate. I tend to use 2-3 scoops.

falkon Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I was about to start a coffee-fi thread but I guess it's already here. So I bought a Grindmaster OPOD a few years ago and it makes a great cup of coffee but my new apartment is fairly small so I need to seek some alternatives. I'm thinking either Aeropress or Chemex or french press. What do you guys think? Also, my OPOD is still in almost perfect condition in box. I think I bought it for $300ish. I'll definitely give anyone a good deal or I can always trade for something.
grawk Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 can't go wrong with any of them. I use my aeropress and french press regularly. The coffee they make is different from each other, but both good. Depends on your preferences.
acidbasement Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 What Dan said. I'll just add that if you're going to use a French press, you'll want a good grinder, rather than a chopper-type one, or else your brew will be muddy.
grawk Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 A good grinder is critical for good coffee, no matter what you use to brew the coffee
acidbasement Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Makes sense. I only use a French press, so didn't feel qualified to comment on the other methods. I imagine that some would do a better job of filtering out the extra fine grounds resulting from chopping, but you're right that they would not mitigate some of the other disadvantages.
deepak Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Even with my Bistro grinder I don't use the FP these day. I've grown addicted to the smoothness (no grains/sludge) of Aero. Though I've been using my 860 a lot more these days for morning cappuccino.
falkon Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 http://espro.ca/espro-press/ I hear that this is just a French press without the grains/sludge. Some people on other forums have said it is better than aero.
blubliss Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 So I have been buying full bags of green beans (60 kg - 132 lbs) for roasting for about 6 years now. The price is great at that quantity. Recently, I have been trying to sell a bit of the bag at cost so I can have more variety with our beans. We go through a bag on our own in about 6 months. I was wondering if there is anybody roasting here who would be interested in buying some beans? If you don't roast, let me suggest that this is a fun hobby and saves money in the long run. There is nothing like fresh roasted coffee. If there is interest, maybe I will start a new thread?? Right now I have two partial bags: Colombian Supremo Huila Valencia @ $2.93/lb plus shipping and minor costs like paypal, supplies. and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe G2 SpecialPrep @ $3.68/lb " " Anyone interested? I could go as low as 2 lbs. but would prefer to do 5 lbs. More is ok too.
n_maher Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Any interest in roasting a few pounds and selling them like that? I have neither time nor desire to roast at home right now, unfortunately.
raffy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I'd be up for a pound or two of each too if you wanna share.
blubliss Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Sorry, but roasting is just not an option, since I already have to roast for the boys here.
jp11801 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Raffy and Nate if you would like to pick up a few pounds of green coffee I'd be up for roasting it. Raffy I can ship the coffee to you when I ship the mbp
blubliss Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 Cool, anyone interested, send me a pm of what you want and I will break down a price for you.
tyrion Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 mysore's back at bisbee I guess it is time to order.
n_maher Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Damnit, I just ordered two pounds last week. Still probably going to order some...
tyrion Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Damnit, I just ordered two pounds last week. Still probably going to order some... Yeah, I have a pound left from my last order but can't miss the mysore.
shellylh Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Damnit, I just ordered two pounds last week. Still probably going to order some... This, except I ordered yesterday so I don't even have the 2 lbs yet. Ugh.
