Maybe a month or two ago, I was scrolling through all posts and saw someone asking which is the best brand of coffee. The bag pictured was suggested, so I ordered it off of Amazon, and it has been sitting in my pantry until today. I ordered a Hario V60 and Stagg EKG PRO Studio a few days ago, which were just delivered. After watching a few YouTube videos, I learned how to pour it, kind of. The coffee is so good that it doesn’t need anything added to it. So, thanks; I can’t drink the stuff in the lobby anymore. :)

Is there anything else I should pick up? I was thinking of getting a Fellow Gen 2 Ode Brew Grinder next, but I’m open to suggestions.

    For other beans, I absolutely love CxffeeBlack. Their GujiMane is a winner, but I haven’t had a bad roast from them.

    If you want to mix things up, look at getting a Hario Switch for an immersive brewer.

      I have not tried them, but the writing on the CxffeeBlack website makes me feel so old:

      A limited release honey process joint from the homie “Big MAMO”. This mug is crazy. Don’t sleep 🔥🔥🔥

      Just bought a couple of their 4oz coffees, thanks for the suggestion. The Gera Honey dark roast I have high hopes for since I hate light roasts but I don’t really understand what the fuck they’re taking about on their product pages. All I understood was dark roast so I’ll giveit a shot.

      And on the total opposite side from the neo-African coffee roaster you suggested, Harrio has the hipsteriest hipster pictured on the Switch product page. Instantly made me hate the product with absolutely no basis for that opinion. Interesting dichotomy of suggestions, 9/10 would look at again.

        I definitely have a wide range of weird coffee stuff/likes.

        I bought the Hario Switch at a crate and barrel (first time ever in that store, but they had it in stock). I mostly picked it up because it’s dual purpose unlike pretty much any other coffee thing I have - it’ll do both immersive brewing and pour over, and it breaks down for travel fairly easily (I have a little pelican case that holds three brewer, a hand grinder, and filters).
