Check out this good read by Starbucks co-founder Jerry Baldwin, Press Pots: Coffee Worth the Effort on Press Pots (a.k.a. French Press or “Freedom” Press). My coffee habits are similar — only espresso or press will do. A few years ago, I received a KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Grinder KPCG100 as a gift. I would highly recommend it, especially if your habit is 3 or more cups per day at home.
Be sure to check out Baldwin’s other articles.
Happy Caffeination.
