i want to invest in some stuff to make nicer coffees at home than my current cafetiere / pre-ground coffee combo...
does anyone have tips on good grinders to buy?
and does the quality of the cafetiere make much difference to the brew? i know the rules for how hot the water should be and how long you should leave it before pluging etc.
also, i got one of those metal stove-top espresso maker things, but it was pretty cheap, and the coffee i make with it always tastes a bit odd. i dunno if it's because i'm doing it wrong (how much coffee? should the water be brought to the boil slow or fast? etc), or coz it's a cheap piece of turd.
