Inexpensive Chinese Ghost Burr Grinder

Last night I took my version of this grinder apart to move the grind to as coarse as possible (for cold brew). You can only take it so far before the forward burr grinds on the front plate. At that setting, its pretty coarse. Not quite as coarse as I was shooting for, but I think coarse enough

Best high-end espresso machine money can buy (For home or small café)

I would tell you exactly that - that using the same beans and grinder that a DE "Londinium" shot was nothing resembling a shot from my LR. The flavor separation is good, but the texture is not. There was no way the DE could reproduce the LR mouthfeel/texture. I'll agree, there are some profiles I ca...

Best high-end espresso machine money can buy (For home or small café)

I feel like I need to disagree with you, given that espresso quality is subjective. My experience with (3) THREE DE machines did not prove that. In fact, for my tastes (again, subjective), I found the opposite. I really wanted the DE to be great, and I applaud DE for what they've done, but to say it...

Greens Alert - Decaf Version

@mpdeen, thanks for the pointer - I ordered some of Captain's Sugar Cane Colombian to try. I, too, don't enjoy the old decaf methods so hoping this is better. Thanks!

Coarse grinder for cold brew

Curious what those cold brew afficianados are using as a grinder for their very coarse grind cold brews? I have a Fuji ghost burr grinder that works great for pour over, but the very coarsest setting on it is still quite a bit finer than the finest cold brew suggestions I've seen. The output isn't b...
