Picked up an Aeropress and a Comandante C40.

Also pictured is my very cheap kitchen scales, has been accurate enough to measure beans and water.

I know Comandante are expensive, my justification was they are a very well regarded brand and I wanted something I could rely on as I played with different brewing techniques.

Been having a great time, producing some lovely cups, and all cheaper per cup then the Nespresso I was drinking before

    I tried with a 30 sec longer brewing time, I think that it’s better but without a blind test who knows :D Cool app, I’ll try out some of the variations which look simpler. The coffees I can get locally are a bit poorly described. This makes it a bit hard to figure out if it’s a lighter or darker roast. What I mean by that is that many smaller specialty shops and roasteries would simply describe “filter” / “espresso” and “less intense” with a point scala. Only once I encountered an agtron value. Uff.
