Lets talk about COFFEE

i kind of want a new toy--specifically some brewing mechanism. I don't want to get a gooseneck so I guess it's just a clever dripper or nothing?

What do you already have now and how much do you want to spend?

Or a nice grinder.

Aeropress nespresso and not $200, sorry A Y

FWIW I like very acidic coffees that also have body

Aeropress with a metal mesh filter might fit the bill then. The Fellow Prismo will also make pretty credible fauxpresso from an Aeropress, and isn't too expensive. Your grinder needs to be able to grind pretty finely though.

Ooh, I like that.

Vac pot is a lovely brew method.

You need a good grinder if you want to make good coffee. There is no other way.

I have an encore grinder and was thinking about getting the prismo anyway because I only make inverted aeropress and it makes the process easier.

I use a Prismo thanks to AY's suggestion. It's really great, although I've mostly been using the basic inverted method lately.

That's Derek's setup, so I think it will work well for you. You need to press with much greater force and speed than a normal Aeropress filter, so make sure you use a mug that can handle it: tough and with a wide base.

Also get a scale: the AWS SC-2kg is pretty cheap from Amazon.

Fellow is offering 15% off for Father's Day. Their cups suit the Prismo well. Sturdy, holds heat, and fits the Aeropress.

Yeah I got a scale too. Just want a new brewer toy

If you hold the Aeropress correctly in your mouth and push your face against the wall, you can also do the sideways method.
