Single serve coffee machine

[esquared]

Come on, I'm trying to be nice. I had several blade grinders and found them to be inferior to burr style coffee grinders, maybe you have the one perfect blade grinder, but getting angry with me doesn't change the facts.

You said you weren't going to argue, troll. I guess that makes to a liar too.

You can say "fact, fact, fact" all you want. You don't drink my coffee, so move on and troll another thread.

I kind of regret saying anything, sorry.

I for one thank you for informing us of the burr grinder though. I've been using a blade grinder and thought it was the bees knees but might get a burr to try out and give my blade to the in laws

Buy a traditional coffee maker and a burr grinder.

How good is this little Hario burr grinder? I had a blade grinder for a bit (you're right, they're complete trash), then had an inexpensive electric burr grinder (La Pavoni, I think), which really wasn't a whole lot better. It produced a lot of very fine powder along with the desired grind. The worst part was that all the grounds would stick to the plastic bin due to static electricity generated by grinding.

I generally use about 24 grams of coffee to make my 14 oz cup each morning. How long would that take to grind by hand?

My favorite coffee maker, single cup or not:

I got rid of my drip coffee maker after about a week of using it. I don't know exactly why, but this makes the best coffee for me and it is so easy.

I got this burr grinder as a birthday gift a couple of months ago and it does a good job for a decent price:

I have that grinder, it's very good. Been using it for 5 years now. It takes me around 3 minutes to grind the max beans that will fit in the grinder (near that quantity ground, I think?). No issues with grounds getting stuck.

EDIT: Timed it 2 min 50 seconds

Single serve coffee machines make no sense on any level not, for quality not, financially and not, even convenience.

All you need for really good coffee is a four cup Black and Decker drip coffee maker, a cheap Black and Decker grinder, and decent beans. A small French Press is also really good. For beans you don't need to buy anything expensive, even cheap beans can be really good. Try different Brands and roasts to find what you prefer. I find that usually most French Roasts or Dark Roasts are very good. Occasionally I have found beans I didn't like, Melita Colombian was one, but tastes vary so try a variety.

But I don't want to make a whole pot just for me. So the point is to be able to make a smaller quantity, like equivalent to a large Tim's.

But I might even just try a regular drip maker, I was kinda figuring they can only make a big pot but should work fine to make a smaller amount too. Dusted off the one I have here, just a cheap Proctor Silex, I'll try that out and see how it goes. Only thing it might waste grounds as I probably still have to put a half decent amount for coverage of the filter, but I'll experiment.

Might still look into a grinder though if I want to get fancy and go from beans. Half the time at work I just drink folgers and use a reusable k cup. I'm trying to stay away from actual kcups at work now, I just feel they're terrible for the environment. When at home I just go to Tim's, but going to change that. Kinda gets expensive.

So ya think I'll just stick with a regular drip machine and go from there.

Why not use french press like a lot of people are saying? You can get single serve ones at Canadian Tire..

I use a hand cranked grinder. It's an Armin Trösser with Zassenhaus guts. I had dropped my Zassenhaus a couple times, and it broke the metal lid. I had it rigged for a long time, but found the Trösser at an antique shop. It took forever to grind(was worn out I guess), so with a couple modifications, I swapped in the Zassenhaus mechanism. Depending on how you account for time, I've had it 25 years.

Err you know you can make less than a full pot with a drip coffee maker right? use the carafe, measure how many cup you want, meansure ground, put in filter, turn on and wait.

I use six cup water, 1/3 (measuring cup) cup Maxwell House.

Yes I am using a white Proctor Silex I got as a wedding gift. It's 14 year old now.

Yes I own an espresso machine as well as grinder, just don't give a shit anymore.

I've never had a coffee specifically marked Columbian I've liked. I avoid it now. I like all coffee, including instant, but if I'm paying real money, I won't get pure Columbian.

That's why I ended up just going with it, I thought you could only make a full pot but was playing around with it and realized that's not the case. I might still try a French press but I'll go with the drip machine for now. Just need to go buy the filters and coffee some time today.

Have a hand crank grinder, would have much rather bought an electric one after the fact

Also, have one of the stove top aluminum espresso pots. Works okay, probably should have just got a aero press or french press, maybe next time.
