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.

    That’s just how coffee snobs are. I’ve seen plenty of “recipes” that dictate specific equipment. The V60 is a super standard pour over, but you could just use a $5 Melitta. I don’t even know what the other device is. A grinder? A kettle?

    Coffee people are worse than car or PC people sometimes.

    “I have a Mario Switch and it makes the best coffee if you use the Up Up Down Down AB method with medium coarse pre-wet grounds from an TG-16 ceramic grinder.”

      Coffee people are literally just like audiophiles.

      Subjective experiences are the most susceptible to complete snake oil.

      That being said, the Stag EKG is a damn simple and good electric kettle without costing as much as a Hario kettle. Timer, temperature hold at a very large temp range, a good gooseneck with a low flow for pourovers and quick heating without overshoot. It does take damn near forever to fill a pot with 500ml if you just want to pour tea water quickly.
