hey yo fellas. Can any of you recommend a good yet affordable electric burr grinder?
I have a fancy hand grinder, but I'm getting too busy these days to do 3-4 coffees a day like that lol

My current grinder was pissing me off, so I finally pulled the trigger on a Fellow Opus burr grinder.
fyi they're running a 20% off sale right now
I'll let you know how the Fellow Opus works out.

I've heard good things about the baratza encore (i think that's the model name). They run 150$ normally.

oh cool!
I think i'm going to have to push off my electric burr grinder purchase until I figure out if I'll be making a paycheck this winter, or if I'm going to have a whoooole lot of free time until next spring/summer when work picks up again lol
it'll be great to get a second opinion on that Fellows one though. A coworker also recommended them, and it sounded pretty solid.

For Christmas, my wife got me a monthly coffee subscription from Corvus. Damn they're legit.

My local super market has this list by the door where customers can write what products they'd like the shop to order in. So I had written my favorite coffee "Zoegas Blue Java" on there before and even had a little conversation with the manager about it, but there were lots of people in queue behind me so he kinda forgot about it. So yesterday when I went there again, the manager happened to be at the register and I asked him about that coffee, and since I was the only customer, he immediately signed into their wholesale system and ordered it 
So according to their estimates, they should have it in shelf tomorrow (but thanks to the country-wide strikes it'll probably be sometime next week).
Huge victory either way

I was at Target looking for towels, and I found a cheap-o Cuisinart coffee burr grinder for $16.99! So I bought it. 'cause I need one for poor folk and not one of those that are hundreds of dollars.
On my first cup, I think I ground it a bit too long and it got super fine. But wheeewwww!! This cup of coffee is strong. lol
I really like it though. Definitely worth the $17 for when I'm in a hurry vs using my hand grinder. Just dump in a servings> grind for a few seconds. Boom! done! Plus it was really easy to clean.

holy. motherfuckin'. macaroni.

There is one type of coffee. It is black. Either from Columbia or Sumatra. It is made it with a french press that I upend and then momentarily resume my morning, only to return upon the completion of filtering. It is not sweet. It does not have other things in it. It does not require a complex machine. There is a life beyond the hill of idle exploration which is much more credible, though identical, to life before it. If a man cannot be satisfied with perfecting the basics he will never be able to see a gimmick for what it really is.

10/10 on the pretentiousness. Nailed the coffee snob vibe.
It's American pretentiousness, though. Notice how I did not properly punctuate "french", now twice, purposefully. The kind of pretentiousness that says I might actually enjoy something along the lines of Vietnamese coffee, but would never admit it while letting it end in a victorious draw down.

Excluding Ethiopia seems like a sigma move.
