I bought a sick espresso machine & it makes all the difference. Can't buy shitty coffee makers and expect barista quality.
Bean quality + proper grind for your brewing method makes a world of diffrence.
you can't make a good brew with a good machine and bad grinder but you can make a good brew with a cheap pour over and a good grinder. Grinders trump all.
exactly. buy the best grinder you can afford and you're 80% of the way there.
