Is a grinder worth it for me?
Hi all,
My wife bought me a Bialetti Venus Moka Pot for my Birthday at the beginning of the month, and I'm hooked. I've never brewed proper coffee prior to this, but apart from thoroughly enjoying the coffee I get from my Moka Pot, I'm loving the process/ritual of it almost as much.
At the moment I'm limited to pre-ground coffee as I don't not own a grinder, but would like to start buying/trying whole beans. I've only tried 3 types so far; a dark roast from Bialetti, which wasn't great to be honest, but after my YT habit has been constantly interrupted by a coffee advert from a UK company - Exhale Coffee, they were ingrained on my consciousness, so tried their 2 coffees (they have 3, but the one I haven't tried us a decaff 🙃 so gave that one a miss).
Exhale grind to order and send it 24 hr delivery, and I've enjoyed their coffee so far.
Anyway, as mentioned I'm keen to explore new coffees and to start grinding my own beans, but really don't know where to start; what type of grinder, how much to invest in one, hand or electric driven? Additionally, is it worth grinding my own, or just stick with pre-ground from ground-to- order companies?
I'm in the UK for context
Thanks everyone 👍😊
