I think you're really going to love it. The aeropress, in my opinion, really shines on lighter or medium roasts. Sbux French is way dark

Yeah I know. Got some stuff coming in from Counter Culture. You guys educate me about some good beans that I should try and I'd appreciate it.I think you're really going to love it. The aeropress, in my opinion, really shines on lighter or medium roasts. Sbux French is way dark

So honestly, I would recommend https://crema.co
It's like Netflix, but for coffee. They work with all these different roasters and have all the coffees (with tasting notes) listed. Then you select the ones you like and add them to your 'brew queue' and how frequently you want a bag delivered. You can always change frequency, order of the queue, add/remove and your coffee isn't roasted until your ship day.
It really is a great way to experiment with different roasters and coffee from different regions.
I am, btw, in no way affiliated with them. I'm just a huge supporter and love their approach

As a side note; if anyone does sign up for crema.co and it was based on my recommendation let me know please. I heard they are rolling out a referral program in the their next software update and will let people retroactively collect referral bonuses.
Just wanted to update this since so many people were forthcoming with info and assistance. I got my kettle, french press and grinder in on Sunday. I went and bought some whole bean Sumatra and a half pound of Tanzanian Safari ground for french press. Made my first cup this morning with the already ground stuff.
I feel like the coffee coats my mouth with rich deep flavor. It is entirely different from when I have made it in the Keurig in the past. I'm really enjoying this. Thanks everyone for helping me get a much better cup of coffee!

Sure! I'd like to see coffee setups. I used to have a silvia/rocky combo years ago but sold it off. Been thinking about doing espresso again, with different equipment though. Mmmm espresso!
Good idea!

I went the french press route @The Munt I'm a fan of those dark oily coffees with a lot of mouth feel. I am happy so far I've gone through 4 different flavors from 2 different vendors local to me.
I've heard great things about the coffee from the aeropress though and intend to buy one in the near future. It's supposed to be a much lighter kind of brew.

Yeah it's definitely a clean cup of coffee.. I'm looking at getting the stainless steel filter that's reusable, apparently the paper ones absorb a bit also. And the holes are bigger in the stainless one. Definitely a big step up from instant!
Instant is like a whole other galaxy. These guys broadened my horizons exponentially. And I'm just scratching the surface.

Cheers mate, if I'm this clumsy with coffee I can't wait to see how wet shaving goes haha!
Maybe you should rethink the wet shaving and get yourself an electric shaver. Haha
