Power went out this morning so had to fall back to the stove top


Ed from my reading and the vids I have watched they do seem to use the same principles. There are a couple places in the cbd do these keep meaning to try one.

Lovely grinder! Resembles mine (although mine's got straight sides, metal drawer, and a grind-adjustment knob, top-rear) -- it's a late-1960s/early-1970s Zassenhaus, and it's my "daily" grinder. A 2007 eBay purchase. Bodum "Shin Bistro" press-pot.



Given your location, you might appreciate what I found written on the underside.

trying cardomom and cinnamon today, these beans arent that nice, so anything to hide it a bit ☺.
I dont feel guilty doctoring them despite being about $15 for 250g

That exciting moment

Nope, still crappy, just crappy with a twist.
Should have just gone to my usual bean outlet.

I did just order a hario woodneck, looking forward to that. Though it is 3-5 weeks away

I hate them because I am expected to repair these disposable pieces of junk.

Here is manufacturer of probably the finest hand cranked coffee mills on the planet. I have known them for years and respect them highly.

Mine is a Zassenhaus as well. Grind adjust is inside under the mill. Think it is a bit earlier around the 40s mark. The curved sides are for holding between the knees. Will grind fine enough for espresso but takes a fair while when grinding that fine.

Restored a de pew for my neighbor a while back. They are pretty simple but very well built with quality parts.

Used a coarser grind and a hotter flame today and the coffee was much better, i also turned the heat off sooner.

Still dont really think much of these beans though considering the price.

Ed it is a bit of a drive for you but ants in ya pants in vic park has a good variety to choose from. Usually about 8 to 10 kinds all within probably 3 days of roasting. From memory it is 12 for 250g, 19 for half kg and 34 for a kg.
