We switched to pour-over a year ago and it made a huge improvement in the way our coffee tasted. :tu

It really does. I am still tuning my process, but I do like it. The texture is different.

Roasted sweet Maria’s afriques espresso blend last night. For this blend I’ve been roasting just barely up to second crack but drop immediately after sc starts.

Is there an espresso capable grinder in the $125 range?? I will not have a need immediately, but may at some point. I hate buying twice.

People seem to like the baratza grinders. I haven’t used. I got a pretty killer deal on a lightly used Mazzer locally. One thing that I’d advise is to have a separate grinder for eapresso and for other brewing methods. Getting the espresso grinder dialed in is not something I want to do each time I want espresso. I use my espresso grinder only for espresso and my cheapo burr grinder for everything else.

How do you like the Bullet? I watched some of Tom's videos on SMarias, and thought about ordering one until checked out the price. :eek:
