Do you have a go to system for coffee in the morning, if so what is? What tools do you use? What do you want to change?

    You guys are making me feel ashamed. I tip some amount into my John Lewis basics grinder, somewhere about the blades worth, and pour some nearly boiled water over it in my V60 with a re-usable filter into a tall pint mug.

    I do this every morning. Maybe I should check out one of this clever drippers. I have wanted to up my game for a while.

      metal or cloth filter? upgrading that grinder is probably a better value for money that a dripper at this stage.

        A metal one. I can’t remember where I got it from, so its probably not great quality. I just felt bad about the paper waste at the time.

        The clever dripper looks like you can pour the water on and leave it to brew a bit, so I wouldn’t be standing around slowly pouring the water?

        Do you have any recommendations for a grinder? Seems like the timemores are used here, but looks like there about £60-80?

          You might not like the dripper if you don’t want to use paper filters.

          Yeah the timemores are around that price, no complaints with mine but I don’t really have anything to compare it with other than the hario it replaced which was terrible.

            To be fair, cleaning the reusable one is a nightmare. Paper ones can go straight in the bin, so I could be talked around.

            I don’t think the John Lewis one is terrible, it gets it all to a powder, maybe the odd chunk, but I guess I dont know what I’m looking for…

            I’ll check it out and see if I can justify it to myself. It’s my birthday the end of this month, so maybe it’s my treat to myself.
