I prefer Maple knobs- they sound better....

I switched to a burr grinder a while back and noticed a big difference in taste. More consistent grind, way fewer fines, and better control over brew strength.

I've used burr grinders and did some research before landing on a Wilfa machine this is a UK Amazon site. I got mine direct from Wilfa. It's really good. I had a Bodum before which was OK, but didn't last much beyond warranty.

RIP Swerd. I learned a crapton from him, even on this thread and many others on this forum.
But as a recently resurrected thread deserves some updates.
While my Fiorenzato F4 Nano continues to serve me very well with minimal maintenance, it has been unfortunately discontinued.
The closest equivalent I can see on the market now, without digging too much, is Nuova Simonelli G60, sold here as open box for $600

Nuova Simonelli G60 (Open Box)

PLEASE READ The Nuova Simonelli G60 grinders listed here were all previously used for low volume local rental accounts. While they may show minor signs of cosmetic wear such as scratches and blemishes, each unit has been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and tested by our certified technicians to...

p.s: I won't hesitate buying from Chris Coffee open box, as my Fiorenzato F4 Nano was also purchased from Chris Coffee as open box and works excellently now, many years later.

I bought this Timemore handgrinder a few weeks ago and I like it. It's quite compact and I can only grind 4 tablespoons at a time, but it takes just 30 seconds and I'm the only one who drinks coffee in the house.

I'm like zero tech with a ridiculously large Aeropress. I was surprised as to how much harder it would be to push than the normal one cup version. Like it stresses my left shoulder if I switch over to just exercise it.

It's still good coffee from whole beans freshly ground.

It's nice to see Swerd get honorable mention. Lot of good memories there.

Just got a new grinder too, and the uniform grind is such a relief—no more static flying everywhere. Funny enough, while waiting for it, I was browsing a bongs online shop for some accessories and ended up finding a small brush that works perfectly for cleaning the grinder.

Well, technically, both are self-inflicted addictions, so it kinda makes sense

Been roasting my own for a few years, via a popcorn popper a buddy gave me. Order some beans online. Also, my own arabica plants are fruiting reasonably. First time for me with home grown. Maybe I'll get a pot from them.


Some Colombian supremo. I like it. I'm not much of a connoiseur, but I do like it in the more common, utility sense.
My popper, turned roaster. The can just happen to fit perfectly. I think it was some very aged cranberry sauce. Been using it for around 5 years.

I have a burr grinder. Don't recall why I chose this particular one. It was all entry level considerations at the time and it's been 'not broken' ever since.



It all works. I end up with a pound, for around what 10.3 oz of the ready ground stuff costs, and a much better cup.

It seems with your rather small yield with respect to roasting your own beans you would be perfectly suited to do 'pour overs' for your coffee, do you ??
