I'm only an innocent bystander here, but a grinder is essential no matter what you're doing. These days I'm happy with Aeropress, and without the associated upsidedown nerdiness, but there's no replacing fresh ground beans.
I buy mine from Coffee Angel cos I like them and they deliver same day if you order early enough. Expensive compared to roasting your own I'm sure.

Re: Coffee supplies
Yep, agree 100%, surprisingly the grinder is the first thing to buy IMHO, an Areopress or French Press pot will deliver very good coffee for a modest investment.
Don't buy a cheap grinder either, you'll get dust and boulders. A burr grinder that comes recommended is the way to go, expect to pay similar to a good expresso machine.

damn, I promised I would message you, sorry totally forgot:) Now I have two reasons to visit: lessons in coffee grinding, and see new hifi gear!Georgi wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 5:56 pm Hudo come over for a good espresso and analog music! 😉
Since I got myself a proper coffee machine and grinding my beans fresh every day, I stop buying coffee from any service stations or Starbucks/Costa because they suck, no real taste of coffee.
A good grinder is essential for good coffee experience along the way with a good coffee beans.
😉
Messaging you tomorrow ...
Also, to the Amazon for a coffee grinders, sounds like its essential.

Re: Coffee supplies
I've been buying quite a lot of beans (roasted) from Imbibe recently, especially the "If you know you know" blend. Far too mainstream for most of you, but I enjoy it.

Re: Coffee supplies
I've tried Gary's zero carbon beans when could get them
.. I don't know any retailer that stocks Imbibe regularly I do prefer to buy locally when the quality is there... Nick is still my goto guy. I'd drink more Imbibe it was more mainstream!

Re: Coffee supplies
My main supply is still green beans from Adamsandrussell, I have a particular liking for the El Salvador Finca.
When I feel like something different and want to go for some fresh roasted beans then thankfully over on the West coast there is a growing tribe of roasters doing a good selection of beans.
First choice has been Carrow who do some great coffees, most recent was SERRA DO CIGANO/GO-TO ESPRESSO.

For something a little different I go to Vu coffee roasters.

Re: Coffee supplies
Thanks for the info Sligolad. 🙂
Just order some beans from Carrow to taste what they offer.

Re: Coffee supplies
I've gone back to roasting me own beans.. (stop giggling at the back) but with little success.... I've used beans from Discount Coffee so decent quality but maybe I should turn up the temp a bit? Sometimes I don't hear a crack at all
