I was thinking of trying this year coffee with a filter where you drop water on it, last year I tried coffee with an Italian Machine. I’m not big into coffee but I want to try different ways and the difference it makes
Hey @JimmyChanga@lemmy.world ! I come back here to tell you that I made a small budget and leard a bit more about coffee from your comment 4 months ago, and got myself an Aeropress! It’s coming tomorow! I’ll be waiting a tiny bit before getting myself an aeropress, my parents have some unopened pre-grinded coffee they didn’t use anymore that i’ll finish before then! Thank you for you coment 4 months ago and happy new year!
I have a beginner question, if i’d go for an aeropress, or a simple filter. The coffee always has to be grinded before putting the water, so either I also need a grinding machine, or I would be limited to buying pre-grinded coffee which I am guessing from what I’ve looked at, is rarer to find
That is a good point, yes it needs to be ground and finely at that. The pages I but my brand from do offer to grind for you though. Also I’m the supermarkets in the UK it is mostly ground that is sold, though I don’t know how finely.
Decent electric grinders are pretty cheap, and worth it, I’d say.
But pre-ground coffee is much easier to find than beans, you just need to make sure you get the right grind for your preferences. In an Aeropress, if it’s an Espresso grind, don’t brew it for more than ~30 seconds (with a bit of a stir). If it’s a coarser grind, use the inverted method and brew it for 2-3 minutes before pressing. You’ll need to experiment a bit to find out how you like it.
You can get permanent metal filters for the Aeropress. Connoisseurs will tell you it makes a difference, I just want minimum hassle and running out of filters is a hassle.

I’d recommend an aeropress, easy to get a good consistent cup of coffee from and pretty low cost to try.
