··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockI am super lazy and as long as my coffee tastes like coffee I’m happy. I use a Toddy for cold brew, just a big plastic tub with a hole in the bottom. In goes a filter bag, 12 ounces of ground coffee (I buy Costco pre-ground), which works out to two red solo cupsful, and 8 cups of water. I let it sit overnight, drain, and enjoy. I usually dilute the concentrate one to one.

I'm not quite sure why I got rid of it. I think I broke carafe that the tub sat upon.
I ended up with a similar system that made like a super concentrate instead, and I never really used it. The Toddy would last me the full work week where as this one I was having to brew every few days.
This Kitchenaid setup pretty much does the same thing but I'm determined to get it down to a science as well.

·Got a new grinder. Takes about a minute to grind, which I do while the water is heating,so no extra time. The adjustments in grind actually make a difference, which I was skeptical about. I wanted a quieter burr grinder and this is it.

Do enjoy a hand grind. Have a similar Japanese made one. Gets a run every so often. (But drink too often to always use it)

·Yesterday we went to pick up our machine on the way back from a camping trip.
After a brief course on how to setup and operate the machine we took these nice packages home 😊
I will post an update once unpacked

·I don‘t have a lot of experience and comparisons as this is my very first setup. But I like the grinder.
Dialing in worked quite smooth in like 4-5 shots. But my dealer also stated that the beans he gave me are particularly nice and forgiving for beginners - he specifically told me to test other beans afterwards and predicted that I will come back 😅
After one week I felt today the the taste changed and I might have to do some slight adjustments - not sure if it actually can be the weather that changed 😄
