Chemex 8-Cup vs Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder

I decided to give pour-over-coffee a try, and so I bought this Chemex with a gooseneck electric kettle. Currently I am using a cheap $20 blade grinder, but even then the resulting coffee from this is amazing. My first attempt I failed miserably because my coffee grinds were too course. Second attempt I got much better results, and I was amazed at the flavor

5 cups at the 6 oz. standard per day with occasional doubling up. I run a very fine grind by preference through an immersion dripper (currently using a Bonavita purchased here) and my roast taste runs from dark to "from the shriveled bowls of hell" also known as "smokey". I'm happenstance about my unit maintenance, I've probably taken it apart and cleaned it out an average of every 6 months or so

If you want fresh clean oats you have to pay a premium price for them. If you're willing to put up with oats that have already been through the horse, well, they come cheaper."

Hey folks, it's Gail at Seattle Coffee gear and we are kind of just revisiting the Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder. I Just you know, we haven't done a ...

I think rinsing the filter removes or at least minimizes the taste of the paper filter and it also warms the pot a little before you pour the larger portion of the just off the boil water into the pot. I've been using Mocha Java coffee which is medium blend and I drink it black so i might be making my coffee lighter than people who use cream and sugar. Presently I'm reheating my cups of coffee in the microwave, but I'm considering getting an insulated stainless steel carafe to store the coffee and keep it hot. A friend says microwaving the coffee makes it bitter, but I have to believe he's overheating the coffee because I don't get that from just warming it up, so I'm undecided about the carafe at present

Hmm. It's very smooth. There's no bitterness, there's no bitter aftertaste. It's just a really good cup of coffee

6. Discard preheat water and begin by pouring a small amount over your grounds. If your beans are good and fresh they will bubble ("bloom") when you pour that first water. The general idea is to get all the grounds wet before you begin the Pour

a larger hopper so this holds 11 ounces of beans total 14 grind adjustments and a timer that can go up in adjustments of 5 seconds all the way up to 6...

The coffee I used was medium fine ground Caribou Obsidian Dark Roast which is a current favorite. (I like strong coffee) I used 1/3 cup of coffee grounds and made about the capacity of the coffee maker I think. (I personally don't consider this to be 8 cups but then I drink my coffee out of a Wile E. Coyote coffee mug of which I got 3 mugs full out of this brewing) It takes a little bit of time to make the coffee

This is an initial review as the grinder showed up last night, I ground a bit to test it relative to my old grinder, and I ground and brewed from it this morning. Quick and Dirty: Pro: 1. The grinder has the functionality to grind from "gravel" to "powder". French press is totally viable off of this grinder, and I would presume Turkish is as well
