    Aeropress

    I use a Kyocera hand grinder that I think provides me with enough consistency for my aeropress. I'm certain that it cost less than 100 dollars.

      I use the Porlex mini ($60-$70?) which does the trick for me...haven't noticed any problem with consistency of grind......and it fits snuggly inside the Aeropress, making it an even more convenient package when luggage space is constrained. After three months of hand grinding while o/s I am, however, looking forward to getting my K3 back.

        try looking at the orphan espresso's lido grinder. supposedly delivers more consistent grinding - i would assume it translates to less fines and a more consistent brew. that said its slightly over a 100 bucks... been eyeing it and reading reviews which all seem to be full of praise considering a hand grinder with reported similar consistency is the rossa.

        just my 2 cents

          I think in these discussions, it's important to verify that a perceived need is an actual need. Can you taste a difference between a less expensive hand grinder and a Robur for example?

          Soon we will all need $5k grinders for mere pourover. We have the internerd to thank for that.

            "Mere" pourover Chris? For some, it is almost a religion.

            For manual brewing, I the best grinder I have tried so far is a Spong #2 for around $100. Agreed, not very portable. Also very good is the Zassenhaus Turkish used for my grinding needs at work (chiefly Aeropress brews) but can't say whether this is better than the Porlex or Kyocera for grind quality as I have not tried either.

                Dont forget the cold brew you can do with the aeropress! pop it in the fridge and you can have something cool to drink whenever!

                I think its great for the morning rush or lazy mornings when i cant be bothered setting up(and cleaning) the pourover or turning on the espresso machine. Been using it over a year now and im still not done with all the filters that came with it lol.

                    For a medium roast single bean with the Aeropress it is fantastic. The flavor is there in it's entirety nicely spread out unlike an espresso shot where the flavor is presented in a shorter time frame. It is true that nothing beats a short black but when your at work, I would choose the Aeropress over any pod machine. Wait I would drink tea instead of a pod coffee..

                      I am now starting most mornings with an Aeropress and letting my $3k espresso machine sit idle... I love the way the complexity comes through. Everyone should have an Aeropress!!!

                        Yeh me too to an extent. Depends how early I'm leaving for work and whether the other half is working from home. This morning I forgot to adjust the grinder from an espresso grind setting, and made my SO Guatemala Jac in the Aeropress as normal. Tasted surprisingly good (I only noticed when the press was a bit tighter)....not quite as complex as with my normal aero setting (about 4 notches coarser on the K3)....but bloody good nevertheless. And.....I bought a second aeropress for the office.

                          I use my espresso grind every day for either espresso or Aeropress. I get a great result. The trick is to press quickly using espresso grind to avoid over-extraction.

                            See my pic for a great way to grind into an Aeropress. Clip it onto a deli grinder. Instant and no mess!!!

                              Don't know. But a bit more basic courtesy on this site would not go astray. I have an aeropress and like it on the whole. Whether anyone else chooses to listen to that opinion or to agree with it, I give not one good removed by Mods.

                                Yelta's post was neither offensive nor discourteous, he asked a totally appropriate question. When an unknown person is offered up as a source people have every right to ask why their opinion should be valued.
