Do you use an espresso grind? I don't know if my ancient blade grinder is up to the task but we'll see what happens.

can assure everyone itt that dropping a hundo on an electric burr grinder is a purchase you will not regret
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 February 2018 23:48 (eight years ago)
having a chemex or whatever then filling it w all diff sizes grounds is living life backwards, consistent grind is so key otherwise yr coffee is not brewing evenly youre getting some under extracted and some over extracted and thats just not right

plus im not even at all a gadget person but my capresso is just a satisfying device to use, to enjoy the quality, i like to watch the beans descend

Just got on Oxo Barista Brain coffee maker. Think I like it better than my Chemex. Going to try brewing some different blends over the weekend.

Saw on the manual grinder (Khaw-Fee, wince) page that Chemexes go for $57. wtf

no they don't! Unless those are foreign dollars

nickn that’s above MSRP, it is cheaper directly from Chemex xp
― direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Friday, 16 February 2018 02:16 (eight years ago)
the real crazy thing abt the chemex is how much the damn filters cost
― lag∞n, Friday, 16 February 2018 02:20 (eight years ago)
i dont own a chemex i use a ceramic kalita wave cone man
― lag∞n, Friday, 16 February 2018 02:22 (eight years ago)
the thing abt the chemex imo is although it makes a real nice clean cup cause of the thick filter, the concept of storing multiple cups of coffee in it is flawed because the coffee gets cold, shd really be double walled IMHO, i have an insulated french press btw
― lag∞n, Friday, 16 February 2018 02:23 (eight years ago)
I have a chemex but I use a plastic Hario v60 90% of the time bc it’s easier to brew one cup in it. Chemex is for sharing.
― direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Friday, 16 February 2018 02:24 (eight years ago)
Yeah to “store” coffee in the chemex you probably want to leave it on the stove. Or pour it into the UFO lookin coffee decanter they’ll sell you.

Filter coffee ugh, espresso all the way.

It's a bit pricey, but I highly recommend this burr grinder. Being able to store your beans in it and set the exact amount and courseness is super sweet. I love this thing.

I replaced my mom's Keurig with an Oxo grinder with built in scale and a Breville Precision Brewer - if I ever need to replace my Bonavita/Chemex setup that's what I'm going with.

bialettis are quite forgiving ime will various kinds of grinds. I'd even say that too fine a grind will clog up that middle chamber.
my grinder is just a cheap cuisinart thing it works fine with the bialetti.
lagoon prob otm though about burr grinders I need to get one of those

Thanks, the maiden voyage of the Bialetti was a success.
Good thing, because I'm not currently authorized to purchase a burr grinder or any new coffee-related equipment for awhile.
