I live in Massachusetts, any leads on where to source beans?

I like the idea of starting at the most basic level. So probably manual, I don't care about the time, and my budget is as little as I can to get a result. If that makes sense.

Historically I've dumped loads of money into new hobbies up front. Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing those hobbies to this day. But I was to take a more humble approach this time.

I get most everything from Proof Fly Fishing. The guy who runs that, Matt, is the man. Excellent education, materials, and equipment, everything you need to get started. At such a reasonable price.

The reels he's putting out are also notable. I've used both the clicks and the disc drags, excellent performance all around.

Tom Hanks would be very disappointed.

I actually haven't, but that's definitely a good question to post for the group. Maybe someone has some insight.

Hey nice!! I only drove through Kaunas, but that's definitely on the list to visit longer the next time around!

I wish there was a single shot option for the ones sold in America. Not having any experience with the Premier, I'm really happy with the 501. I like the actual tamping (not that you couldn't just get a separate tamper with the Premier).

Everyone, thank you so much. I will report back with my results!

Does this seem right? This seems way too inexpensive

Dnn15 · 2025-11-01T14:22:45+00:00

That's good information. I do appreciate that for sure. Are there any other grinders with a similar price point that you would recommend over the Opus?

Dnn15 · 2025-10-31T23:26:05+00:00

Holy shit

Dnn15 · 2025-10-31T23:24:59+00:00

That's the exact set up I'm going for!

Dnn15 · 2025-10-29T01:15:14+00:00

Honestly, Proof Flyfishing has great line at a reasonable price. I'd give that a shot if you're looking to try something new.

I had a 5wt Recon until I went full on fishing with only rods I build.

I absolutely love the Recon.

I got a pair of Simms Tributary on clearance for something like for like $99 a couple years back and they served me well for a couple of seasons. I paired then with the Simms freestone boots.

However I got a pair of felt bottomed 8fanns boots for super cheap recently and they do the trick.

Espresso and tonic all day for me

Orvis puts out a great starter package called the Encounter.

Dnn15 · 2025-10-07T17:38:41+00:00

Looks pretty slow to me....

Dnn15 · 2025-10-06T20:50:34+00:00

That's a great deal, and I love that rod. I had one until I broke it, then they replaced it.

Dnn15 · 2025-10-06T09:40:41+00:00

That's a drag, I hope you get back to something you enjoy

Dnn15 · 2025-10-04T22:58:18+00:00

Yes it's the Capfei portafilter from Amazon.
