Maybe a month or two ago, I was scrolling through all posts and saw someone asking which is the best brand of coffee. The bag pictured was suggested, so I ordered it off of Amazon, and it has been sitting in my pantry until today. I ordered a Hario V60 and Stagg EKG PRO Studio a few days ago, which were just delivered. After watching a few YouTube videos, I learned how to pour it, kind of. The coffee is so good that it doesn’t need anything added to it. So, thanks; I can’t drink the stuff in the lobby anymore. :)

Is there anything else I should pick up? I was thinking of getting a Fellow Gen 2 Ode Brew Grinder next, but I’m open to suggestions.

    Hey, thanks for the great advice! I’m definitely leaning towards a manual grinder now, especially since I don’t need to grind a lot at once. 15g-30g per day I think.

    And you’re absolutely right about exploring different beans. I’ll start looking for a local roaster. Really appreciate the tips, and I’m excited to be part of the club! 🙌🏼☕

      It takes like, 30 seconds to put my 11 gram dose through my grinder on a medium, filter coffee setting (25 clicks on the Comondante)
      I was worried when I started that it would be a massive hassle, but it’s really not (in my opinion, experience is subjective :p)

      If you haven’t found him already Mr James Hoffman on YouTube is an insanely knowledge and engaging resource on all things coffee.
      Lots of excellent watching there to help you start out on your coffee journey.

        That’s cool; I’ve actually seen this guy before. I wrote down a pour-over recipe from him once. It’s 15g with a 1:16.7 brew ratio at 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

        I’ve noticed both you and another person mention drinking 11g. Is that with approximately the same brew ratio as above, or am I completely off?

          May be a different kit? I use an Aeropress and follow a recipe of 11g grounds to 200ml water.

          I don’t have a V60 (yet ;) ) and haven’t read up about the ratios there.

          But it’s likely to be different, as the Aeropress is an immersion brewer, while the V60 is a percolation brewer.
