What's the problem as long as you don't use one of those electric atrocities?

Flicka, nice score on that grinder! It is a beauty.
It still makes a little noise. Like a rumbling, chewing sound. Possibly my neighbours wouldn't notice, but I'm a bit paranoid after having experienced someone who would come ringing the door furiously over the noise when I poured water from the kettle into the coffee pot...Originally Posted by Rudie

Thank you! I have a friend who can go on for hours about how great kitchen stuff Peugeot makes - her mother's pepper grinder is over 40 years and working like a charm. I hope their coffee grinders are as good.

Huh? You should've just laughed at him for being such an ass.
Our Cuisinart burr grinder is our favourite wedding gift! We buy roasted beans from our favourite local coffee house, grind as required for a pot or two, and mmmmmmmmmm!
Good reading! Grind my coffee everyday, night, and whenever with an electric monstrosity. I too love my coffee and want it all the time!!! John
LOUISVILLE, KY. GO CARDS!
Once I found out that it was cheaper to buy gourmet beans than Starbuck's every morning, I've never even considered going back. Canned coffee is, IMHO, not worth the marginal price savings, but then again I only make coffee for one or two people, not a family-sized (or bigger) group. Using a manual burr grinder, I set to work (in traditional engineering style), grinding a few beans at various settings to get the ideal average grind size for the french press. It's absolutely amazing how much better coffee tastes french pressed, but also more amazing how much the taste changes depending on the size of the grounds! You just can't use the same size grind for filtered coffee makers and french presses (probably common knowledge, but I just HAD to try it and see :P )
Is there any other way to make coffee?
My mum bought be a Capresso all-in-one for my birthday. Love it, to the extent that coffee is becoming an afternoon ritual as well as morning! Someday I'll invest in a full-size French press for really lazy mornings; as it stands I only have a small, one-cup press at the moment.
not trying to be snooty or anything, but, I love my coffee, so I buy green beans and roast them on a gene cafe home roaster. My grinder is a ceramic burr baratza vario. I use a quick mill silvano espresso machine with a pid and pressure gauge. when in a hurry I brew in a techni vorm drip brewer, or, a bodum press. When time is not a concern I use my 1 cup and hario pour kettle( take your time with the pour and mmmmm ). When I have special company and
want to really go old school, I bring out my size D cona vacuum brewer and watch the magic for the smoothest cup on earth. steamed milk and Demerara
or a touch of Muscovado sugar if company desires.
yes, I do drink it straight (black) also.
