I’m rather enjoying the simple drip filter coffee system I have, so thought I may as well grind the beans myself. It’ll be just one cup worth most of the time. What should I get?
Porlex. Just got one and it is very good.

I bought an aeropress which is very good.
Also bought a hand grinder which is just a load of bollocks.
Just use ready ground and save the hassle of standing there turning a fucking stupid handle for 10 mins

Grind them under Doc Marten boots, imagining they are the skulls of your enemies.
Sorry, what? I zoned out there for a moment.

Hey guys, it seems you can get this coffee shit in a tin. Just add hot water and drink, apparently.

I got really into the dripper for a while and could make a very nice cup in the end. After a bit of a struggle a mate of mine gave me a good recipe, which I had good results with.
14-15 grams of coffee medium ground
Rinse paper filter with hot water
Add coffee
Add 40g of water for 45 second pre-infusion
Add remaining 210 g of water slowly over 2-3 minutes
The grind is critical. Too fine and the coffee will over infuse and be bitter, too coarse and it will be sour. I found that discerning between sour and bitter was difficult but with a bit of trial and error I got good results.
I then got an Aeropress and this is the recipe I found works best for that…
18g of medium ground coffee
Rinse filter in the Aeropress over the cup to warm cup at the same time, discard water
Add coffee, just moisten it with a little water and stir with the paddle. Pre- infusion should only take 30 secs from when the water hits the coffee!
Once the 30secs are up, fill the Aropress to the top, insert the the plunger part and wait. Again, only 30 secs from when the water hits the coffee!
When the thirty are up take the last thirty seconds pushing the plunger down. Don’t push all the way to the bottom as this will compress the coffee and make it bitter.
Adjust the grinder as described for the dripper.
The Porlex is fantastic! A favourite of coffee nerds the world over
