Coffee aficionados: What brand of coffee do you buy for brewing at home? Do you have a grinder? And what…?
Author: admin // Category: Best coffee grinder… method do you use to brew it?
I pretty much have to have fresh-ground, so I buy whole beans at the supermarket, but I use a 12-cup drip coffee maker… I know it is not the best method, but we need volume! Have a cup on me!
By the way, I do have a French press coffee maker, and the little stove-top one… but I forget what it’s called…
I buy store roasted beans and grind at home. Then I use fresh, filtered water and a coffee machine for a regular brew or an espresso machine for espresso drinks.
However, usually the beans are only the beginning. You can add a little of a number of spices - individually or a blend - to give your coffee a delicious and unique flavor. Try green cardamom, coriander seed, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, anise, chili powder (?!?!?!). Put a bit of these in with the beans when you grind and fall in love with coffee all over again!

not bothered if its manual (Think they look quite authentic), or electrical just performance - needed to grind a nice fine even grind for espresso machine. going to use 4/5 roast most of the time.
Thanks for any help.
I wouldnt’t go for a blade grinder, specially if you are making espresso. Because when making espresso, pressure is the one of the most critical thing (ideally 9 - 9.5 bar of pressure depending on your beans)
And with grinders that use blade, you wont be able to get a consistent grind to finetune your tamping for your espresso.
I would strongly advise you to get a burr grinder, that way you will be able to get the best out of you espresso machine.
I dont know how much it cost in your place but, for entry level I would say get a Gaggia MM, or sunbeam.
if it is over your buget, then just try to get any burr coffee grinder, and get one that you have most adjustable setting. Gaggia MM, I think have 10- 15? and sunbeam have 25
