They are cheaper, but I would hesitate on going with a manual grinder if your primary use is Espresso. As someone who has used a hand grinder for their pour overs daily for years now, I can tell you that there’s a HUGE difference between hand grinding daily for pour over vs espresso. Because you’ll need to grind much finer for espresso, it takes significantly more effort/time to hand grind a shot of espresso than it does for a pour over. And FORGET about doing it for a group of friends/family if you ever intend to host anything.
I would probably go for something like the Baratza Encore at a minimum. I know, given that you got your espresso machine for $15, the prospect of spending 100+ dollars on a grinder might seem steep… But believe me, you’ll need something that can grind fine enough for espresso with a decent particle distribution. You’ll never get there with a blade grinder.
How do you like infused coffee? On one hand, it has unusual flavors, on the other hand, those flavors are added. What is more important, experiencing an unusual taste or drinking good coffee instead of the flavored one?
Not a fan. I tried a lemongrass infused anaerobic washed coffee from Black & White that just seemed to leave a dry finish on the mouth. Ultimately, I think infusions are a bit gimmicky, and I have migrated away from roasters who are leaning into them (like B&W). I’m loving pretty much everything from Flower Child right now, and keep coming back to them.
Enemies you defeat will stay gone until the next Blood Moon, which triggers after you defeat a certain percentage of enemies in the world. It’s designed to keep the game exciting and fresh so there are always enemies around.
I use the Hario size 02 filters with my v60 which I really like, but the only reliable and affordable source I’ve been able to find is from amazon.com. Does anyone have another source I can buy these from? I try to buy as little as possible from amazon, but these are something I still have to regularly buy from there....
I’d be willing to bet the local coffee shops that have Hario filters bought them on Amazon themselves and sell them at a slight mark up. So either way you’re going through Amazon.

My colleague brought me this dark roasted robusta. I never have a pleasent experience with that kind of roast. Any idea how should I enjoy it?
