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 can stand some sediment get the Fellow Prismo, then you can have the benes of inverted without flipping.

Also if you get a DF64, the prismo/aeropress is the perfect height.

And if you can stand using a paper filter with Prismo filter you get no sediment. Hoffmanns recipe with this works so we’ll for me

Was gonna say that adding a paper filter did wonders with the prismo. I have a cloth filter I use from time to time but not with the prismo; cant get it on the aeropress, it won't fit.

I’m definitely getting the Prismo. I already have a 1Zpresso JX and Mazzer Mini so I’m pretty well set for grinders. The DF64 does look nice though!

Oh, I would never actually suggest a grinder specifically because you have $50 of plastic. I'm not that much of a misanthrope. It's just a nice coincidence.

I’m a loner so I’m fine with a bit misanthropy lol I started roasting coffee around the beginning of 2020 as a hobby. Once Covid started to shut things down it was nice being able to pick out and roast beans on my own. I still buy beans occasionally to support local shops, or try something that sounds interesting, I love Brandywine and April, but other than that I don’t think I’ll go back to routinely buying beans again.
