I didn’t know there was lead in Nescafe Gold.

Nescafe Lead wasn’t a big seller.

Well I am about to go down a roasting wormhole. Got a second hand Behmor roaster on the way.

Hey coffee nerds: what’s the current hotness in reusable Aeropress filters? I’m getting low on the paper ones.

Still using my stainless Able one. Dunno how you could make one hotter really.

If you’ve got them to spare that’d be tops. I’ll swap you a record for them.

Recommend an inexpensive automatic burr grinder?

Very quick look shows a Sunbeam EMO440 for $99 from the Good Guys.

If you can stretch the budget, the Breville versions are quieter and much nicer.

I killed my Sunbeam EM0480 and replaced it with the Smart Grinder Pro. @WestToastPete & @HeavyMetalCyclist have the Dose Control IIRC

The Dose Control retails for $200 but the fancy version is on sale at Myer for $250 (or here), so most big box places will match that I think.

Thanks. I should mention this will be for use with Aeropress only. Will I need the better features and finer grind of the Breville?

it’s a more consistent grind. the timing function is nice if you aren’t weighing your beans and only loading the hopper with that dose

Should mention that the metal filter you sent me works just great. Thanks again!

La Pavoni espresso lever operated

I’d love one of these things, just for the steampunk aesthetic if nothing else. About $1200 for a brand new one.
