Coffee makers and grinders

Oh, yeah to answer a question, coffee is black, period. If you put something in it for flavoring and doing all that grinding, pressing, steaming, etc., why?

You might as well get you some old Sanka, pour in hot water then add your flavoring.

That's the same as people putting sugar in cornbread, you might as well eat cake.
 
We just switched to the Stanley french press this year to try and get away from plastics. It's a bit more work but no complaints. I need to buy a burr grinder at some point, but can't stomach the cost. Maybe I'll have a few coldies tonight and work up the courage....

I would say this makes 4 medium sized cups of coffee which works for my wife and I. I definitely drink less coffee now because of this, but I think that's probably healthy anyways. With the standard coffee pot, I'm drinking it if it's there regardless of whether or not I "need" it.


EDIT: I just bought the OXO burr grinder.... hah. They're on sale on Amazon right now. I also typically buy the "used" option. Every time I have done that for a consumer good it's just due to an "open box" condition that is actually unused. Can save a fair amount this way.
 
Here’s a picture of our coffee grinder at the cabin… the best thing is, it works even when the powers out.

Hario manual grinder, Hario scale, Hario electric kettle, and a double wall stainless French Press I've had forever.
 
I own a Capresso Triple brew. It costs $278. It was a great buy I made last Christmas. I have been regularly making coffee myself, and I don’t have to push multiple buttons and get all confused with the working procedure. It’s user friendly. Since you have $300 in your pocket, this will be worth buying. You also make sure you make a deal with an authorized espresso coffee maker dealer, so there is a guarantee in after-sale services.
 
48oz Stanley french press is all I use home or hunting anymore. No plastic, nothing to break and vacuum insulated!

I did have to double up the press screen after a few years to keep some grounds out.

I have a Chemex but don't use it often. I've been using a Toddy cold brew maker and it's great for having good flavor and it's ready to go in the morning.
