I would like some recommendations for a single serve brewer, preferably one that uses ground coffee and not pods. I had a hamilton beach ‘the scoop’ model at one point that I liked pretty well, but I’m open to other options if there are better one’s out there.
I’m currently using a aeropress, but I would like an additional brewer for convenience purposes.
I don’t know if it’s considered bad form but I prefer to get empty tea bags and put the grounds in there to steep like a cup of tea. Just need a grinder, no drip, press, etc. Just don’t let it steep too long or it goes bitter.
Good idea for budget brewing, but tea bags and microplastics though…
True, you’ll want to avoid nylon, polypropylene, etc plastics and treatments in manufacturing. Cotton and other natural fibers seem to work well. I’m using boao cotton bags or if I get tea I’ll get stash pre-bagged. There’s a bunch of manufacturers who avoid micro plastics, but you do have to look out for it.
