Grinder and coffee maker

[goin' fer smoke]

As you all know I am a broke dick... (and yes, the ladies to my left ARE smoking my last 2 'gars)

I have a half ass grinder that you really can't differentiate between the grind settings, it is an ebay purchase Delonghi
and I now have a Gevalia freebie coffee pot...

I am looking for a good but inexpensive grinder and also a coffee pot...
new or even refurbished.

Any suggestions?

man, don't ask me...I went off the deep end - I'm no help at all! good luck, tho.

Costco sells an inexpensive Burr grinder (Cuisinart)...$30.
Coffee maker? Bodum French Press....$30.
Getting both and getting fresh roasted coffee?.....priceless.

I love my Bodum french press.

The french presses just allow you the coffee to get cold too fast... and I drink ALOT of coffee each day.

Get a carafee or however you spell it.

Any suggestions?

My suggestion:

Use the coffee equipment you've already got and put your money in a savings account. Then maybe you won't be a broke dick anymore.

Funny, this is exactly my setup. My coffee hasn't been better.

I'm happy with my Capresso Infinity grinder and french press. I just make it cup by cup as that is how it is best anyway.

I totally agree. I make it, I drink it.

If I want another, I make it

I have a grinder that I bought from Walmart. It's not a bur, but I grind it
down until its fine. I use an electric tea kettle to heat up my water, then
I pour it into my Bodum French Press and away we go!

I have an espresso maker too, but I don't use it that often.

Sunbeam makes a great little hot water heater, I think it's like $20 on Amazon.

hairo slim burr grinder and Aeropress. Vivalanation turned me onto these two products. Now other coffee just doesn't compare

Yeah, I'm guessing the OP acted on the suggestions by now!
