Coffee talk: do I really want the $160 KitchenAid Pro Line burr grinder?

a !60$ burr grinder is not going to make that big of a difference if you are using a $40 press or moka pot. Thats not real espresso so the grind isn’t that important. Sorry. If you are that into coffee invest in a really good espresso maker, like a lapavoni, something that makes proper restaurant quality espresso. then worry about the grinder.

Can you afford it? Are all your credit cards paid off? Do you have a ready savings of six-months’ worth of expenses? How’s your retirement savings? It seems to me that if those are all in order, then you might consider it.

@Hawaii_Jake YEAH

@trailsillustrated, yeah, that’s kind of what I was wondering about and where my knowledge is limited. I was trying to solve the problem of needing different grind sizes, but it sounds like it’s a moot issue without more investment (which I’m not pursuing anytime soon).

So what, then, is the equivalent step up for French press?

You can go on ebay sometimes and get a proper espresso maker for what you what going to spend on a grinder. It will be older, and its not a thing you put water into and boom your coffees done. You have to pull it like a barista so if you work in the morning, well it takes time.

Just get it and name it the Hawaii Jake. You’ll always appreciate it.
