What kind of coffee mill should I buy to go with that?

I just read the answer regarding the Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder. I am sure that grinder works great for a "sock pot" or any other type of coffee brewing system, because it has many adjustments to the grind. But it is expensive, and I have never felt I needed that quality of a grinder to make consistently good coffee. The kind of grinder I am talking about usually costs $20 to $30. So, not to bad mouth the Bodum; I'm sure it is really great. But if the price tag puts you off, don't hesitate to purchase a cheap rotary grinder of the type I described in my earlier answer.

We prefer a not-too-fine grind with the Woodneck (vs, say for an AeroPress) to achieve a brew time of about 3-1/2 minutes. The Hario Coffee Mill Slim Grinder (http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Coffee-Mill-Slim-Grinder/dp/B001804CLY/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1407346153&sr;=8-6&keywords;=hario). One nice thing with the manual grinder is it builds up anticipation and forearm strength ;)

I was lucky enough to be at JCpenny when they had sale on Bodum products so I bought a coffee grinder which although doesn't have settings for cdrtain grinds it's pretty easy to time how long to grind for the right texture. Bodum Bistro Electric Blade Coffee Grinder, Green

We really like this Hario pot for making coffee! The grinder we use is "Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder." This does an excellent job of consistently grinding the coffee to the texture you want. We've had the grinder for several years now with no problem.

I found out the same, I decided to get a stainless & glass Bodum press... been using it for a couple weeks now and I'm really happy with it... decided to save my $ cuisinart for those occasions where I have a lot of people over and need to make greater amounts of coffee and stick with the bodum for everyday use.

We went for the 840 Infuser, I read a lot of reviews and having a stand alone grinder of good quality is better all round than having one in the machine.I'm sorry to say I haven't found a grinder that I like, so I grind in the store with a professional grinder, I'm not prepared to pay for a professional grinder (yet).Plus the infuser is idiot proof and it makes great coffee, time after time. I do feel it needs cleaning more often than our last Breville but I'm ok with that.

This machine accepts only ground coffee. You can grind your own or buy pre-ground coffee. I highly suggest grinding your own as it will be much fresher.

I'm thinking the coffee beans would be too large to grind with this. I'd get a coffee mill.

You have to have the Lavzza coffee brewer which is very expensive. I wasted my money buying these. All I got from my one cup brewer was light brown just like you. I wish they would state that and prevent us from wasting our money.

I use regular coffee. Be sure not to over fill the filter or else your machine will make a mess.

Also - if you want / need something designed to work with K-cups, you'd be best off getting an actual Keurig. We have one of those as well - very nice machine.

I grind cocoa nibs with my Hario canister grinder. I would suggest keeping it a dedicated seed/nut grinder and not using it to grind coffee. You wouldn't want everything else you grind to taste like coffee. ;)

You need to contact Baratza and order steel burrs. It is a great machine for drip coffee but the ceramic burrs that come with it are for espresso.

I concur with other responses... looking at the Suncana brewer specs. We are big coffee drinkers, and use the Perfect Pod Maker to make pods for our Grind Master brewer. It works great. However, like us, you will need to experiment a bit to find the ideal coffee grind and measurement that works for your tastes and brewer. We find two tablespoons of medium-course grind works for us. Also, of the pods we've tried, we find the EasyPack pods to be the best and most consistent.

You should should an espresso grind. Illy makes very good espresso grinds. The black Illy is the best. I don't use k cups (?) or pods and not sure if you can use them with this machine, but the description of the machine should tell you that. Or, contact Krups.

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

No, this isn't a bean to cup machine, it's a mid range machine which I heartily recommend. Buy your coffee from a specialist supplier at grind grade 4 and you will never pine for a grinder again. You can get too fine, hence my advice. This is a cracking machine, Kepp it clean (the milk frother) and the descaling and you will love it for a long time.

Happy coincidence, as I text this response, I'm drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ($51/lb!) freshly ground in my Baratza. The coarse grind setting is perfect for my Bodum press. I couldn't be happier. BTW, works all the way to an almost powder fine grind for an espresso maker, also. You can't go wrong!

I agree with the other answers as well, buy the right machine for grinding. I suggest a Porter Cable grinder, I personally use one with grinding/cutting/sanding wheels on it.

yea buy a six inch angle grinder 30$-200 and buy some cut off wheals (they are the thin ones 1/8 maybe or less look them up they are great but gone need a pack of them if you got a lot of cutting , or Sawzall 100$with proper blades for soft metal , a portable band saw 400$ +/-50 Milwaukee makes a great one in my opinion plus is you can cut any thing with it and blades last a long time if you good to them
