Yes definitely a grinder, most importantly it will get much more flavour out of your coffee when you grind immediately before brewing, but also it will allow you to play with different methods. Stovetop needs to be fine, filter a bit coarser and cafetière quite coarse.

My recommendation would be an electric grinder as manual can become a bit of a chore if you’re more interested in the result than the process. Make sure it’s a burr grinder and not a blade chopper. Your budget would get you the silver Wilfa Svart which is all you would ever need if you don’t get into espresso.

Or my other go-to is this one. It’s less sturdy and makes a racket but it gets the job done.

@StevePeel I am tempted by a grinder and those that you linked look good, cheers. I just use an aero press at work which is 5 days a week - would I notice a benefit grinding my week's coffee on a Sunday and taking it in rather than just getting a bag every 2 weeks? Especially if the bag is ground quite freshly anyway. Not sure if I want to buy one which I'll only use Saturday/Sunday

Edit - just seen you're not too far away in Northampton. I normally get my stuff from Frazer's in Sheffield but happy to mix it up a bit. What is the lfgss code please and I'll try a few bags :)

IMO I doubt you would notice much difference grinding on a Sunday and drinking on a monday. If you want the level up you would need a hand grinder in the office. The coffee you make at home on Saturday and Sunday would taste good though.

If you can ferret one out an Aergrind could do you well in the office but be warned, once you start grinding your own coffee in the office you become, "that guy"

I use an aeropress each day at work. I just grind what I need each morning before going in. If you grind for the week it'll be stale after a day.

And yes, I do recognise some of those comments ;)

@StevePeel I'd like to know too - or is it somewhere upthread?
