my support and suggestion of inferior blade grinders is not that they are great its just that they are perfect for getting people into coffee.
in the shop my reccomendation allways has the condition attached that they have limitations but I have to remeber I/we live in a TMC world were most would sell a kidney for the perfect set up.
the other 99% are horrified when i suggest an enrty level grinder for £120+. they just cant see the leap and as they have not actually experienced stunning coffee at home yet why would they see value? my journey began with Rhombards top of cup filters and i was gradually drawn in.
after all many casual coffee lurkers here probably are put off joining when then the only option seems to be to appear hundreds of ££ to make something half decent.
sourcing bargins for the price of cheaper items is not as easy as we would all like thats for sure. unless your Cakey
the more peeps who are drawn aways from instant and pre ground can only further the chances of real coffee becoming more mainstream and the supply and demand principle to be helped on the way.
Knowledge can be absorbed, but passion cannot be taught !
