So, iv heard for years that the coffee in America taste like crap compared to Italys coffee…I swear, first time tasting coffee/espresso from rome,Italy i went crazy! Even their black coffee has a bitter/sweetness about it, I get back on the plane to USA and…man fuck this water tasting w.e it is.

How do you make your coffee?

      Grinding my own beans before every cup is the biggest game changer for me.

      If you are considering getting a grinder, the best “budget” bur grinder I’ve used is the Baratza encore (ESP model). I put budget in quotes because it’s still expensive IMO, but a good value for under $400

      Edit: and I use an Aeropress to actually brew my coffee (using the inverted method)

        You can save a lot of money by buying a used baratza. They sell literally every part for replacement, so you can just buy a used one and swap in whatever parts
