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.
Easy. The most important thing is the beans and the technique. The specific kettle, grinder, and scale are so unimportant, as long as you have even an OK burr grinder.
It’s funny that you didn’t list the brewing method because that is important. An AeroPress, for example, brews coffee differently from a drip maker, and that can change the final product a lot. Your scale or kettle? Not at all. All that matters is a somewhat accurate weight and water at the right temperature. Not brands. Not models.
You shared brands and models but didn’t say anything about your grind size, water temperature, time, or coffee weight.
Then again, this post was about the beans themselves and not a recipe, but I don’t even know why mentioning the model equipment you had was important.
I’m not trying to be too hard on you. Discussing equipment is definitely part of the hobby, but all you did was list what you had like showing off a shiney new toy to your friends. It doesn’t seem important to the post. I think that’s why the original commenter spoke up.
My post was a shoutout to the original poster. I didn’t know who they were, and I wanted advice before making another nearly $300 purchase on coffee-making equipment. I’m glad I posted because I almost bought an electric grinder when a manual one suits my needs better (limited space, single user). At the end of the day, I post for the same reasons you post. I’m sorry you didn’t like it.
