_Hi,

 

_{Ok so I had a look at bean to cup, and as much as I would love to, I cannot afford a Jura or something similar.  I do enjoy making a cuppa with the aeropress.  I think I will upgrade to get the stainless filter for the aeropress, as my paper filters are running low.  Then I think I need to improve my grind.  So the next question is, which grinder (preferably not manual) is decent without leaving me short for a year.}

 

_{any comments on these:}

That severin is a very nice grinder! I've seen some good reviews! The other grinder looks exactly the same as the severin....

Thank you.

 

Any other recommendations in that price range?

I'm sure I could search this thread but can someone recommend a milk frother? I don't need anything fancy but something that can froth milk for a couple of cups at a time

There is a stove top frother which is awesome but a real struggle to find. Most people just use the nespresso one...

Hi,

 

Thank you, I will have a look at these as well.

Ahh man, just got mine few days ago!

But come to think of it... where are you. If you are in PTA one more for home will never do harm

_Hi,

 

_{Is it possible to get a crema on your coffee if you use your stove top mokka or aeropress.  My stove top gives it as the coffee comes out, but by the time I can get it in the cup there is nothing.  Also with the aeropress, if I change from paper filter to steel, will it make any difference?  Will this improve if I get a proper grinder, or does it only really happen when you use a espresso extraction method/machine?}

 

_thanks

It improves with fresh beans and a good grinder - but it doesn't last very long anyway... only way you can cheat it a bit is to use robusta beans - and you may or may not like the taste of those (and not so easy to find in SA, as most roasters prefer arabica)

I've got the new Nespresso version, stand alone with 4 different froth settings. It's fantastic, works cracker and can clean it in the dishwasher when necessary

YUCK>>>

Hi V12man, thanks for the info.  Getting anything other than Woollies beans is a difficult task, so the freshness is not always as it should be.  But I am looking at upgrading my set-up to improve the taste.

 

will something like this make a difference to get a decent shot

instead of using the mokka or the aeropress, if I combine it with a grinder like the nerd proposed earlier, or the severin grinder I looked at earlier?  the link you give seems to drag and I couldn't see any pricing options with the grinders.

 

Thx.
