Why I wont be buying Ratnagiri Estate anymore.

I think Naivo Rose Culture Naturals is processed in same manner. Rose water infusion probably and they don't even mention it in processing section of the coffee page. First time I had it I was blow away that wow now that's specialty coffee. Notes really come through if the coffee is good and process

Help me choose one!!

Q Air is the best bang for buck, i have been using it for past month and it produces way better brews as compared to Timemore C3/C3s. FYI i also have Pietro Pro Brewing grinder which i can’t bring anywhere as it’s too heavy. Q Air is the best solution for coffee brewing on the go.

Hello Guys, I am about to buy my first coffee setup. I have always had instant coffee. Now I want to buy a good grinder (budget 5-6 k) and Coffee beans. So which grinder and type of coffee beans should I go for?

Handgrinding anyway is tedious for espresso, if espresso is the goal value for money purchase in 6k for espresso grinding is not possible. Closest will be a 10k kingk6 or 12k timemore whirlyMinus espresso capabilities- best handgrinder under 6k is 1zpresso q air. (c3s has nice metal build but the st

What ?! Should've paid more attention to maths at school

Personally, it does not have to be expensive not does it have to be a hobby. I used to use a French Press for close to 6.5 years before I switched to Nespresso. I used a TimeMore C3S as well. It was inexpensive, still took 10-15 mins. I did not mind the time, my gripe was that coffee tasted differen

Coffee grinders in budget of ₹5000

Well, difficult for me to say one is better than another without an extensive brewing experiment with both. Timemore has priced c3s ~25% more for some reason when both cater to manual brewing and neither to espresso. If both are giving similar output then c2s can be said to be more value for money.

Manual Grinder recommendations needed

If you’re moving to espresso, choose your grinder carefully. I left my good grinder at my son’s house and bought a Timemore C3S. While great for Hario Switch at about 70 turns it’s around 160-170 and double the effort for espresso. Not life threatening but after the third time it gets really old. I

I’m a bid confused with my grinder 😭

15 clicks ideally is supposed to be coarse but timemore c3s produces quite a bit of fines Also rotating all the way, once you turn it once anti clockwise, it will be your starting point (turning it all the way, the alignment to the lines on your clicks attachment will be off) Start counting clicks a

Oster 7200 vs delonghi dedica

De la cafetera no puedo opinar, pero si te digo que el timemore c3s pro lo tengo y no tiene ajustes tan finos para la espresso. Podes moler fino, si, pero no hacer ajustes precisos. Capaz el c3s ESP que es específico para espresso o sino es buscar algún 1zpresso o kingrinder por lo que leí

Grinder suggestion needed

go for Timemore C5, similar price to C3s, but overall much superior quality Timemore C3s and Kingrinder P2 are both superseded by the C51Zpresso Q (not Air) is not bad, but more expensive and worse value for money1Zpresso Q Air would be plastic, also not as great value for money
