One is a backup in case I break this one. I've already broken one so I'm trying to be careful.
Go stainless. It'll break you before you break it.

A lot depends on your budget. I have read a lot of great reviews about Rancillo, but they are not cheap. I own a Cuisinart, which is only around $35. I would like to upgrade when it dies, but I only do aeropress or Bonavita drip, so it is hard to justify a $300+ grinder. However, I get great coffee (which I roast myself).Hubby and I both have our own Frieling stainless steel double-wall French presses. He is a coffee guzzler and I am a coffee sipper. When we camp we use an enamel percolator on the fire or camp stove. We hand grind beans roasted locally. I have my faves and he his, hence the two separate presses. I hate the grinder we picked up recently when ours of twenty-five years recently died unexpectedly. Suggestions? Im in the US.
Picked up a Bialetti Moka Pot recently and tried it this weekend. Very good coffee!! Not something I'd use every day but it's nice for a change-up.
@Mick : are percolators as good as I remember? This is not my usual smart a.. self asking. I'm truly thinking of getting away from the drip, and have been perusing the Goodwill stores, etc.All of that is not in one place. We have 5 houses so the coffee making apparatus is spread around. Up here in the great white north I only have a Melitta #6 (pot and funnel), Zojirushi 1.8 liter thermal, Baratza maestro plus, and a Behmor roaster. I'm roughing it here as far as coffee goes I only have one razor and one brush too. It's a small cabin.
What do you think of your percolator? Thanks, Dave.Hubby and I both have our own Frieling stainless steel double-wall French presses. He is a coffee guzzler and I am a coffee sipper.

Thanks for the info sir!I have 4, 6, and 8 cup percs. The larger is a samovar.
They make good coffee but you need to grind a bit coarser than for other brew methods.

So cool!Been using a Bialetti Moka pot and Medaglia d'oro for over 30 years. Makes a mean Americano with milk. This is what Italian Americans have been doing since the 1930's. Better than anything you can get at Starbucks. Great for coffee drinks like Americano's, macchiato's, latte's' cappuccino's, cubano's, View attachment 1050814etc. Not exactly a true espresso but very close.
So cool!
I've seen these on eBay and been wondering how they work...
But, I'm an unedumicated person in the ways of coffee beyond Mr Coffee, black.
I know, I am a Neandrithol. (See, I can't even spell Neanderthal)
