    Does it truly make that big of a difference? I always feel like if you want a good coffee use really good coffee. When i was semi into trying different coffees i felt this was the only thing that really mattered. Tasted just as great out of my standard coffee pot as it did to a french press.

      it does make a difference. it must not make one to you.

      everyone has different preferences. i don’t like french press or autodrip. i like pour over or vacuum.

      a better brew method can make less good coffee better, and a crappy one can make good coffee gross.

      water also matters a lot.

      The thing about coffee is that it can always taste better. I’m not dunking on coffee. I love coffee, and I love striving for an even better tasting cup.

      The most important thing is to buy whole beans and grind them right before use. All of the flavor compounds will be fresh.

        Yeah, i had a semi decent low grade grinder. Didnt spend much on it but it allowed me to control corse to fine grind and worked great. I liked being able to try all the different grinds to find what i liked best. I ended up finding 2 coffees i really liked, but they were expensive and i kind of gave up drinking coffee due to that and some other reasons. This was like 10 years ago, i really don’t wanna know what it cost these days!

      Brew method is about control and experimentation. Not a big difference, but cheap, easy and controllable. V60 is basically BIFL.
