Christo-fascists run too many gov'ts

That is at least partially good news. Dutch Trump sucks.

A scale is pretty much the only thing you need. If you really enjoy it and want to go further, good quality hand grinders with steel burrs can be hand for under $100 now. Timemore C3 and Kingrind K2.

Mud and boulders. Wow!

French press or a steep and release cone like the Clever Dripper or Hario Switch.

Some folks do but it that is just a bridge too far for me.

between filter and espresso. similar to aeropress. I tend to grind at what would be considered the finer end of filter/pour over and the coarser end of aeropress.

Well made coffee should not be bitter

Water S; black coffee and tea without milk and sugar are A.

Things are so much better now than they were 10 to 20 years ago. Now there are many good entry level hand grinders that are perfectly fine for the home brewer.

What makes a good grinder better than another are the same things for many tools or gear: Build quality and features.

Now there are quite a few well built inexpensive grinders. The differences are burr geometry but that is often a matter of personal preference and not a clear better or worse. The ability to easily adjust the grinder is nice. Ease of use. The amount of grinds they retain (more of an issue with electric grinders than hand grinders). Capacity: A lot of hand grinders don't hold much more than 20 grams so brewing for more than one person is a lot of work.

If I were buying a pour over only electric grinder, I would probably buy a Fellow Ode 2.

I don't generally vary roasts much. Mainly light roasts but the occasional light/medium or medium.

With my hand grinder at the office, I will change the adjustment for beans that produce more fines like an Ethiopian.

Neat. I don't vary my grinder settings normally. Fellow Opus 4.5 Moka Pot

Kia also.

What is your budget?

If you don't have much money to spend then the Timemore C2 is often available for around $50. Around $100 there are the Kingrinder K0 and Timemore C3. Getting into the $150 are the Kingrinder K6 and some grinders from 1Zpresso.

If you have to have electric then don't buy anything cheaper than a Baratza Encore.

If you don't plan on getting into the expensive espresso habit then the Ode 2 is an excellent grinder for pour over. You'd have to spend a lot more to get significant improvements.

If you don't have a scale, make sure you get one ASAP. It doesn't have to be one of the special "coffee" scales. A simple digital kitchen scale that reads in 0.1g increments is good enough.

And beer.

Our Japan group's website is such a complete early 90's train wreck.

I lived in NW Atlanta near an intersection with Waffle Houses on two opposite corners. Glorious.

that's a bingo!

So only fascists allowed now.
