A grinder first, because that is the purchase that changes the cup. A scale second, because without one you cannot repeat a good brew or work out why a bad one went wrong. And a brewer that is very hard to get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChestnut C3S MAX hand grinder.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel burrs and a proper adjustment range.

Coffee is measured by weight, never by scoop — a scoop of a light Ethiopian weighs noticeably less than a scoop of a dark Brazilian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeado Hoop brewer.\u003c\/strong\u003e A flat-bottomed dripper, in Transparent Ghost or Black. Flat beds are more forgiving than cones: the water sits evenly and the brew is harder to ruin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSú Beatha, 250g.\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted by us in Dublin.

Wet the grounds, wait thirty seconds, then pour the rest in two goes. It should draw down in about three minutes. That is the entire method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing, and it costs nothing: keep it clean.
