I definitely use a finer grind with the aeropress than with my drip machine.  It's a balancing act so that it's still possible to use the plunger but at a very slow rate.  I tend to use 2-3 scoops.

Anybody tried this?

I was about to start a coffee-fi thread but I guess it's already here.  So I bought a Grindmaster OPOD a few years ago and it makes a great cup of coffee but my new apartment is fairly small so I need to seek some alternatives.  I'm thinking either Aeropress or Chemex or french press.  What do you guys think?

 

Also, my OPOD is still in almost perfect condition in box.  I think I bought it for $300ish.  I'll definitely give anyone a good deal or I can always trade for something.

can't go wrong with any of them.  I use my aeropress and french press regularly.  The coffee they make is different from each other, but both good.  Depends on your preferences. 

What Dan said.  I'll just add that if you're going to use a French press, you'll want a good grinder, rather than a chopper-type one, or else your brew will be muddy.

A good grinder is critical for good coffee, no matter what you use to brew the coffee

Makes sense.  I only use a French press, so didn't feel qualified to comment on the other methods.  I imagine that some would do a better job of filtering out the extra fine grounds resulting from chopping, but you're right that they would not mitigate some of the other disadvantages.

Even with my Bistro grinder I don't use the FP these day. I've grown addicted to the smoothness (no grains/sludge) of Aero. Though I've been using my 860 a lot more these days for morning cappuccino.

I hear that this is just a French press without the grains/sludge.  Some people on other forums have said it is better than aero.

So I have been buying full bags of green beans (60 kg - 132 lbs) for roasting for about 6 years now.  The price is great at that quantity.  Recently, I have been trying to sell a bit of the bag at cost so I can have more variety with our beans.  We go through a bag on our own in about 6 months.

 

I was wondering if there is anybody roasting here who would be interested in buying some beans?  If you don't roast, let me suggest that this is a fun hobby and saves money in the long run.  There is nothing like fresh roasted coffee.

 

If there is interest, maybe I will start a new thread??

 

Right now I have two partial bags:

Colombian Supremo Huila Valencia @ $2.93/lb plus shipping and minor costs like paypal, supplies.

 

and

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe G2 SpecialPrep @ $3.68/lb  "                 "

 

 

Anyone interested?  I could go as low as 2 lbs. but would prefer to do 5 lbs.  More is ok too.

Any interest in roasting a few pounds and selling them like that? I have neither time nor desire to roast at home right now, unfortunately.

I'd be up for a pound or two of each too if you wanna share.

Sorry, but roasting is just not an option, since I already have to roast for the boys here.

Raffy and Nate if you would like to pick up a few pounds of green coffee I'd be up for roasting it. 

 

Raffy I can ship the coffee to you when I ship the mbp

Oh dang, yes I would be interested.

Cool, anyone interested, send me a pm of what you want and I will break down a price for you.
