Affordable Coffee Grinder and Cold brew ratios

Starlight8 on 03/07/2020 - 09:46

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well!

I recently jumped onto the Aeropress bandwagon and was wondering if anyone can give me a few pointers :)

  1. Whats a good and affordable Coffee Grinder?
  2. Whats the best cold brew coffee ratio using a jug?
  3. Where can i buy the best coffee beans?

Currently i'm using Industry Beans - The fitzroy beans. Its okay, but i would like something stronger.

In regards to cold brew - i use 47grams to 500mls of water and brew for 24 hours in the fridge.

Thanks so much for your help,

Stay safe x

        It’s fine. Easy to clean, compact. I too use an Aeropress, and it’s fine for that (I use inverted method)

    I use a Rhinowares small grinder, handy and pretty cheap. About $50ish.

    Aldi Single Origin ($13 for 1kg) and Breville Smart Grinder Pro ($150-200).

      thats so cheap!!! Industry beans is $16 per 250grams.

      I'm curious to know if you've tried other beans?

      Thanks x

    Mate just experiment and have fun. Your ratio 1:10 looks about right atm. You could play with 2 variables - time immersed in water and temperature of water. So you could filter out the grind after say, 8 hours or something. Or you could use fridge cold water vs tap cold/lukewarm.

      Yeh i was hoping for a shortcut LOL

      The barista told me to try brewing it on my counter top opposed to fridge.

      Lets hope it will be stronger LOL

        Shortcut would be to use warmer water, but not hot. I imagine the more you move towards hot the more acidic it will be.
