Do the water spritz thing on the beans. It should reduce clumping and retention.

That will be a huge change in grind quality. Bravo!

At the office, I give them to one of my staff since their family has a large garden/small farm which makes and uses compost.

At home on the weekend, I generally just dump the moka pot puck into the waste bin but sometimes will save it to dry and sprinkle onto the balcony rosemary plants.

I do moka pot at home every weekend. I would argue that experience is needed to make good coffee. It is easy to make something undrinkable.

Other than that it comes down to personal preference. I believe manual pour over results in a better tasting cup of coffee.

I find RDT to be more important with an electric grinder than a manual hand grinder.

My only concern would be the so-called one way valve which is often crap and leaks like a sieve letting in freezer compartment air and moisture.

Most poor folks can't afford a hobby.

Costco's return policy and extended warranty also make it a much better place to buy higher price electronics

Don't take on debt if at all possible. If you use a credit card, try to pay it off each month. Don't get one with annual fees. Get one that has cash back not miles or points.

Learn to make your own coffee instead of buying Starbucks or whatever. A decent hand grind will last for a decade and cost around $50. A no name pour over dripper and filters are a cheap way to make coffee at home. Buy beans and keep them in an air tight container and they will be good for a month.

I'm sitting here with my little Fellow Opus but still happy since it isn't a hand grinder and it is doing a perfectly fine job for me.

Please send me a link regarding their business practices for my reference. I am not going to change the gift subscription since it is already given but next year I might look at other options like Atlas or Misto.

Bummed that you are not happy with Trade since I just gave a subscription as a gift to a family member that lives far from a roaster in a super rural area. I was stoked that they send coffee from different roasters each order so that the person can receive a variety of different beans through the year.

Help the paper stick to the dripper body, remove manufacturing dust, and reduce/remove possible paper taste. Using hot water also helps pre-heat the dripper reducing heat loss during the brewing process.

I stopped wearing a watch completely until the exercise/sleep/fitness trackers and smart watches got fairly good. I was a big watch guy before nice Seiko, Citizen, Patek Philippe, and Breitling watches but then everything had a clock on it. My phone, my laptop, etc. No reason to have this expensive thing on my wrist getting banged up as I go through the day. Now I have a Huawei GT3 Pro because it has good sleep and fitness trackers plus the EKG and blood O2 level checks. It controls my music at the gym and the timer works well in the kitchen plus the flash light is extra handy.

Another vote for Zojirushi here

A lot of variables to consider beyond the beans. Is your brewing method good enough (water hot enough, wetting the grounds completely, adding the water in proper manner)?

Are you in a decent size suburban or urban area with good roasters? Visit them if you have the time and get fresh roast and fresh grown beans for them in the smallest package size to get a variety.

I feel like a light roast either fruity or nutty, can be a good transition bean for folks trying reduce or completely eliminate sugar and cream.

He didn't even graduate. He wasn't smart when he entered UGA and after 2 decades of football, he has that football brain injury thing.

Greetings from Hanoi. The Vietnamese in general view the USA quite favorably. Much more so than they feel about China which is regularly killing their fishermen and destroying VN oil and mineral development facilities. The 1000 years of Chinese occupation seems to have also left a bit of a bad taste.

Greater Vietnamese Sea!

I don't much care how it looks. It is a tool. Plastic is always an issue when used with hot liquids. Plastisizers transferring to foods. Stainless steel lasts forever.
