A metal one. I can't remember where I got it from, so its probably not great quality. I just felt bad about the paper waste at the time.
The clever dripper looks like you can pour the water on and leave it to brew a bit, so I wouldn't be standing around slowly pouring the water?
Do you have any recommendations for a grinder? Seems like the timemores are used here, but looks like there about £60-80?
You might not like the dripper if you don't want to use paper filters.
Yeah the timemores are around that price, no complaints with mine but I don't really have anything to compare it with other than the hario it replaced which was terrible.
To be fair, cleaning the reusable one is a nightmare. Paper ones can go straight in the bin, so I could be talked around.
I don't think the John Lewis one is terrible, it gets it all to a powder, maybe the odd chunk, but I guess I dont know what I'm looking for...
I'll check it out and see if I can justify it to myself. It's my birthday the end of this month, so maybe it's my treat to myself.
Using a blade grinder?
Yeah, it looks like a little mini blender.
you will get a much "better" grind even from a cheap hand grinder, but it is a lot more effort.
Ok, you've convinced me. Thank you for all of your advice!
