    Re: Hario or presso or chemex...

    Ok Im Going to go the aeropress and a presso for day to day use and once tax time comes along an Otto (the device that will eventually cover me with burns/scars . I was also looking at a technivorm but decided against it.

    I bought a cheap bodum grinder. How bad is this thing? I needed something short term quck.

      The Bodum will be OK for your plunger pourover or maybe stovetop but based on others that have tried to use them it will fall over at Espresso grinds (Presso or Otto).

      Sorry for the potentially bad news  :-/

        I have an aeropress and a hario v60 and a plunger.

        Ive had the plunger since i first began drinking real coffee in 2003 and ALWAYS find myself going back to it! fresh beans and grinding them yourself really helps in getting the best from your plunger.

        I recently purchased an aeropress from one of the sponsors here at CS. The aeropress produces a really smooth and clean cup of coffee, no sludge whatsoever. Quite easy to master in terms of brewing and there are heaps of videos on youtube to help. Took me a few weeks but we are going great guns now. I do find you need to use more coffee if you like it strong as what comes out of the aeropress is less acidic than plunger coffee.

        The hario v60 - uh, i am still trying to get a nice cup of coffee out of this! I think the combination of getting the grind right and the pouring technique is something that is way out of reach for me! But thats just me. I know people who LOVE their v60s

          What about the bacchi?
          From what I see in the videos, it produces an amazing amount of crema yum...
          Same amount of work with the otto i think.

            So far, I am yet to see Otto surpassing performance out of any other stovetop. I feel Craig hit the nail on the head with this one.

                Otto looks very beauuutiful though, superb bling and it can steam milk too ;D.

                I was given a demonstration by Shane from a nearby cafe (Wont put names, in case Im not allowed to list a non sponsor)

                I was told that the Otto reaches 4-5 bars? and the Bacchi reaches 9 bars.

                Too bad Bacchi cant steam milk and have the same killer looks of the Otto. (My prefered murder weapon, 7 kg of beauty)

                Maybe you might want to choose the Bacchi for straight espresso shots and the Otto for milk based espressos?

                Difficult choice for me
