Stopped by the local roasters this afternoon and had a damn good cappuccino. Also picked up a pound of Colombian. Looking forward to trying it tomorrow.

So after asking a few basic questions on last weeks Zoom call about coffee making and promptly being coffee shamed for my current set up 
, I thought I would look into better options. Plus, I really need another hobby, lol.
So I have done some research and picked out some stuff. Here is what I have picked out to get started. What are your thoughts or other recommendations?

I would skip the modern grinder and go with an old school one like this vintage Zassenhaus.
But I like old things. Ask my wife

As far as bang for the buck, the Aeropress can’t be beat. I would buy the paper aeropress filters rather than the metal. They are cheap and provide for a very clean brew with minimal environmental impact. I’ve never used a manual coffee grinder but had excellent success with a Baratza Encore for my Aeropress grind. That being said, I have been using a Saeco Superautomatic for the last 2.5 years and cannot beat the convenience and quality. One caution is that you cannot use oily beans in a superautomatic.So after asking a few basic questions on last weeks Zoom call about coffee making and promptly being coffee shamed for my current set up

Gerry: Hey guys so what's your coffee game like? I only do K cups and add enough cream that it's really milk.
the Guys: Gerry Come on!
Gerry: Well what do you recommend
Guys: Well anything is better than a K cup.
Gerry:
LMAO!!! not exactly how I remember it, but I am impressed that you got that close. Roasting and grinding my own will save me money though, right?
That's cool, I would certainly use that too if I had it. I will add that to the list of antique store goodies to look for.I would skip the modern grinder and go with an old school one like this vintage Zassenhaus.

I totally agree about the paper filters rather than metal. The paper filters can also be rinsed, dried and reused without any issue. I read about reusing the filters shortly after buying my first aeropress several years ago. The inventor of the aeropress stated in the article I read that his intention was to reuse paper filters to reduce waste. I treat the filters kind of like using DE blades until they are no longer serviceable. I get at least 20 brew cycles per filter before they tear and I throw them out.
As for grinders, I bought an inexpensive hand crank style grinder at the same time I bought my aeropress and it works great to dial in the right size grind.

They also show up at Kohl’s on sale every now and then.
@SM29 Yeah, I keep running across the Baratza grinder while researching, but it is above my price point at this time. Do you have a link for the Saeco Superautomatic grinder? All I could find was $500 - $1500 Superautomatic Espresso machines. I did find a Phillips Saeco Grinder on Eday - used for $45. Is this what you have?
