Of course that's better, but someone who wants a Nespresso isn't going to go through that process, but they may be swayed by a super auto. It is the right tool for the job, for some people. Every one I can sway away from pods is a win for coffee as a whole.

I'm not a fan of percolator, they over extract. But if you like it...

I have my drip machine on a wifi plug. It's timed to go on at 5:45a and off at 6:00a. At night I grind and put in the filter, and add water. In the morning I our my cup, and walk out the door. Couldn't be easier.

these days i keep my espresso machine on a timer plug that comes on 20mins before i wake up. my routine takes about five minutes (dose/weigh, flush/purge, grind, wdt, tamp, lock, pull, steam while the shot runs, pour, wipe down) and i enjoy the ritual as part of my morning (turn on the news or have a podcast running at the same time, think about stuff). simple pleasures. not for everyone, i realize. luckily, it's kind of rare that i need to wake up early for work so i usually just wake up to play barista and make a cortado/gibraltar for my wife. i tend to start the day with a latte so i can see what kind of day it's going to be based on how the rosetta turns out |

You grind the night before? Any noticeable difference between doing that and grinding just before you brew?

Of course this is for drip. Espresso is completely different; minutes matter. |

Only reason I don't do it during the week is grinder noise. |

I will probably order some more next week.
There are 4 local roasters that I know of near here. Mini reviews Griffin Creek, Ashland - I like every one I have had. It is only sold at a 2 co-ops and at the grower's markets. A cup is $1 at the stand. They take back coffee that has be at the store I think for 2 weeks. I believe it is one guy, and some help at the markets. Until recently he was running things by himself. I think it was $12 for 12oz Limestone, Medford - Every time I have been happy, both in store cups (pour over) and bags. The shop is cool. IIRC it was $12 for 12oz. Case, Ashland - I haven't bought their beans because I didn't really like the coffee when I got some. I don;t even remember why. I should try again. Another expensive place. $5, but you got a little carafe so I think you got about 1/2 l. $18 for a 10.5 oz bag. That seems weird to me because he is a across the campus from SOU. Noble, Ashland- I don't like them very much. The coffee they serve in shop is always bitter or sour, and I expect they are doing things correctly. When I have had beans, it just wasn't great and they are expensive, $18 for 12oz sold 25 feet from the roaster. You would think at least it would be a bit less expensive there so you would come in and spend $3 on a cup. Quote:

It's about 25-30 ish. It would pay off fairly quick over a year or two, compared to nespresso or Starbucks.

I get 24 shots out of a 1 lb bag. This is with a double basket and an 18.5g dose. I usually budget 2-3 shots to dial in the grind...YMMV with an auto machine though
