Picked up an Aeropress and a Comandante C40.
Also pictured is my very cheap kitchen scales, has been accurate enough to measure beans and water.
I know Comandante are expensive, my justification was they are a very well regarded brand and I wanted something I could rely on as I played with different brewing techniques.
Been having a great time, producing some lovely cups, and all cheaper per cup then the Nespresso I was drinking before
Spending the money on the grinder first is such a wise choice - followed obviously by spending the money on the beans themselves - and you can’t go wrong with an aeropress. It’s also ridiculously portable, especially if you measure out your beans beforehand into little single dose containers…
