I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that’s about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I’m already in conical bur territory here, are higher end grinders really going to make a noticeable difference in my pour-over brews? If you feel strongly the answer is yes, I’m also curious what you would recommend (but please don’t bother naming anything over $500usd unless you provide a link to a used version that is in that range).
Ever considered hand grinding? The comanante is the high-end for that. But James Hoffman just made a video about a decent 35$ hand-grinder. Try to get metal burrs.
No. Arthritis. Thank you though.
Seriously, hand grinder with a power drill on the shaft. Even if you bought a cheap second hand drill just for this, you’d still be ahead
Ha. Okay, I’ll bite. What’s so great about the hand grinders? Understand you’ll save a little money without a motor, but M I missing something else?
The ritual. Handgrinding has a DIY-feel, it’s quite satisfying to use a good grinder.
