I bought a grinder, which today I used for my French press, man what a difference there too. I didn't realize how much a grinder mattered.

My green beans should be in next week, then I will have it all in my control!

Something about the Bialletti moka pots that I noticed, was that the smaller ones make better coffee or faux-spresso or whatever you want to call it. My 3 or 4 cup made better coffee than my 6. My 1 cupper did a better job than both of the others. Ended up getting rid of the other two and just keeping the 1 cup. I found a stainless (not sure of the brand) 2 or 3 cup in a thrift store for a buck or so a couple months ago, I suppose someday I should actually try it.

Honestly though, my aeropress does a better job than any of the pots.

Please help me on the AeroPress, as I am not a fan and I Have had it for yeeeears.

I recently even got the Fellow Prismo adapter, and still have the same thoughts about it... It is a good dust collector currently.

Maybe it's just not your thing then.

I just follow the directions as they were written and I like it. And don't grind too fine.

I will give it a go when I roast my own. Same here, followed the instructions, watched a few videos.

Grind is supposed to be on the coarse side.

Put it up for sale or donate then. Why have it collect dust.

I may just do that if I feel the same way after the home roast.
