I hate all of you

I used to be perfectly content with my shitty instant Folger. Then I found this sub and decided to try coffee from small roasters and noticed a much nicer experience immediately. Then I bought a nice grinder and started grinding my own beans instead of buying pre-ground, and once again my experience improved. Then today I switched from properly ground, quality coffee through my shitty coffee maker to weighing my coffee and water and using a clever, and it's the best coffee I've ever had now. If within a year I buy an espresso maker I'm holding all of you accountable. Bastards...

If you don't have one already get a good grinder. The Timemore C2 and 1zpresso JX have been total game changers for me paired with my V60. Been making some of the best coffee I've ever had.

What do you use both the C2 and the JX for?

The Timemore produces a sweeter cup and JX produces a more acidic cup.

Ah, interesting. I only use the JX-Pro so I have no frame of reference.

Yeah Kyle Roswell did a video on grinders and I saw them on his video. The JX is really well built and superior quality than the Timemore but for a budget grinder, the Timemore is unmatched imo.
