I'm going to regret reacting to this, but here we go - Nobody cares about microgram scales. 1/10 of grams, however, are important, especially if you are dosing

- Nobody cares about microgram scales. 1/10 of grams, however, are important, especially if you are dosing for espresso, where the amount of coffee affects the flow rate.
- Hario v60 and Aeropress are very different. The second one is an immersion brewer, which makes it easier to get good results even when your grinder isn't the best. The fact that they're made out of plastic is meaningless.
- Its really not simple at all. For years, I didn't have to care because I was blessed with pretty great instant coffee in the country where I lived. Unfortunately I moved to the UK and got to experience instant coffee hell. It was so bad that something had to be done. Few years later and here I am with a Flair manual lever espresso machine, temperature-control kettle and all the other tools you mention.
Sometimes, the taste sucks so much you gotta do something.

- PaulKeeble 4y agoWe can do surprisingly good coffee with 100C water, a cheap burr grinder like from Hario and an Aeropress. You can outperform a lot of coffee shops quite easily with this very basic setup following recipes and slowly learning how to set the grind better.
- dws 4y agoGive 90C or 85C a try, and see if you notice the difference.
- devindotcom 4y agoWhat's the great instant you drank? Clearly you love and appreciate good fresh coffee so I wonder what it might be that met that bar when others didn't. I don't mind some instant coffee now and then but it has a certain quality to it that makes it identifiable as such, if not simply "worse" than fresh (which can be quite bad). (My standard coffee setup, since we may as well: Technivorm KBG-V, 40 grams of medium grind for 6 cups (approximately two regular size mugs))
