Chestnut C2S

Spending 1k on scale is not justifiable, a 250₹ scale will work fine. You don't need a grinder right now, use pre ground coffee from Mokka Farma, Blue Tokai sample pack for now. If you can save money, get a Timemore C2s, or Aashonee is also fine.

Save money with a timemore c2s if you're brewing fp only, or just get a Kingrinder K6 if you're planning to get an espresso setup in future.

Only had it about a month so can’t comment on longevity, but I read a lot of reviews before buying anything and the reviews were great. I just use a small digital scale I got on Amazon for general cookin

I started with the Timemore C2s and honestly really liked it. My two complaints were the internal adjustment and non-folding crank handle, but those were nitpicky and the handle I didn’t really notice it until I upgraded to the 1Zpresso J-Ultra. But I ONLY upgraded due to wanting a grinder capable o

What’d you drink? If you like black coffee then I’d reccomend you a kaldipress (indian copy of aeropress) for about ₹1500/- and then a grinder for 5-6k (Timemore c2s, c3s). If you dont have the budget for a grinder just get pre ground coffee to start off with. Check out hoffman’s aeropress video
