OT: The M-Fing Food Thread

Oh, both definitely play a role. But you can make mediocre coffee taste fine enough with the right grind and brew, and you can make single source brilliance tasty bitter and muddy with a shit grind, or even just being in a vacuum bag that was opened for the first time more tha 5-6 days before. Yes, there is no sweetness or complexity in wholesale bean, but until you know how to get the best out of a bag of kirkland, you're probably wasting your money on your single source Costa Rican light roast.

you win, bitch. my SPINN all-in-one finally broke down (I don't think I can (or want to) fix it this time)

so I bought a DF64 Gen 2.5 Single Dose Coffee Grinder with Red Titanium Burrs. I got 90 days to play with it.

don't even know what machine I'll actually be using to do the actually brewing...but getting that grinder feels like I just landed a #1C and #1RHD


ps: the resale value on these things is impressive

At this point you may as well go all in and do V60 pour over. If you're going to drop the cost of a caribbean flight on a grinder, you may as well get the most out of it.
 
you win because your post was "coffee is all about the grinder"...and then my SPINN said "he's right" and got a stroke.

what's your setup like?

Still rocking a barratza encore. Sometimes pour over, sometimes perc depending on how many fucks I have to give at the time.

I'm a pareto principle guy at heart for a lot of different things. You can get 80% the way to top tier with very little effort, time and equipment investment, but the following 20% has diminishing returns while having increasing costs & difficulty the higher you get. Like Preston said, never go full r/coffee.

I'm too scared to even think about visiting r/coffee...it would paralyze me for months

I can't do pour over, because I would require a cup of coffee just to have the energy to make my coffee.

I used to do it more often but during the summer I just want to get out onto the deck with my coffee and can't be bothered most of the time. I have a decent breville perc that is definitely the path of least resistance. I do try to fresh grind most days though. The only real problem with perc is that you need a decent machine that can properly heat your water fast enough or else you're choosing between good filtered water and under extracting, or pouring hot tap water in to get decent extraction.
