I love love love the taste of coffee.
The right grounds, the right water temp and the proper steep time will make a great cup of coffee.
I have a Breville Grind Control and get amazing coffee in batches from 2 cups to 12 cups. I have had it for 3 years now and consider it a great investment for people who truly like coffee. It was costly ($280.00) but has been the best consistent coffee. I make coffee every day. Doing the math that is less than .25 per day addition to my grounds.
I don’t think anything DD is worth the money. I also am not a huge fan of the Keurig devices.
I also suggest the refillable K Cup and buy quality grounds at a local roaster. It still has a bit of a unbrewed taste. Been there, done that but moved on.
