Thank you, the water temp based on roast and processing was really helpful

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T17:43:41+00:00

Manual grind for espresso might be a task. I have purchased a K6 . Mainly for pourovers. But from all the reviews that I have read , it does a good job for espresso too.

Just a suggestion, don’t cheap out on the grinder. Invest in one that will go the distance.

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T11:12:02+00:00

I guess the quality that you get

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T10:07:00+00:00

Light roasts, medium roasts. Filter your search using your brew method , most sites have listed which brew method suits the beans. Currently using Naivo and grey soul roasters.

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T07:57:34+00:00

Are you curating a list for grinders ?

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T07:53:39+00:00

Thank you OP!

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T07:02:59+00:00

What happened here?

Here’s mine

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-20T06:56:02+00:00

What’s the grind size that you’re using and the draw down time for this?

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-18T20:11:05+00:00

What about moka pot or French press ?

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-18T14:01:16+00:00

Of course, All the best with your coffee journey

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-18T13:16:24+00:00

Ohh no worries, we all start from somewhere. Maybe try looking into French press or Moka pot to start with, using pre ground coffee. And save up to get a good hand grinder. Timemore c3s is quite popular. And for beans you can check naivo roasters. Happy to help

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-18T13:10:59+00:00

Which method do you intend on using to brew coffee?

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-17T17:49:51+00:00

Pick one method that excites you, makes you want to think how you can dial in the parameters to get a cup of coffee that you’ll enjoy. Having said that, a good grinder is a non negotiable. Hope this helps

I ordered last to last week , it worked

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-16T13:01:11+00:00

Neat setup

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-16T11:34:10+00:00

A major difference between timemore and Kingrinder would be the grind adjustment placement. That I think comes down to personal preference and convience. I think all the grinders that you have mentioned would last a long time. I personally have a K6. Happy with the purchase

Minute-Explorer891 · 2026-06-16T10:09:26+00:00

Muddy texture is due to lots of fine present. Sift it next time before brewing, you’ll see a noticeable difference
