Burr grinders make a world of difference. I can’t see how anyone could drink coffee made using a blade grinder.

I’ve never been able to get on with Moka pots but certainly a good grinder will make all the difference!

I got a hand cranked burr grinder a decade ago. It was pretty slow, and I gave myself tennis elbow after a few days. Went back to pre-ground for good after that.

I like coffee done right, but I can compromise.

Such an aesthetic setup!

I have the 1zpresso J series (I think) I got a couple years ago on end of model sale. It's amazing. I've never used it for espresso, though.

Nice! Been meaning to pick up one of those but my cheap spice grinder still works.

If you have that grinder, you can start brew the coffee using pour over. It will gives you richer taste. This video from James Hoffmann can be used as a guideline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI4ynXzkSQo

Is this it?
