Hey /ck/,

My bf's birthday is coming up and I'm looking to get some advice. He's a real big coffee and cheese lover, so I got him an order of Cabot cheeses (much better than that Tillamook shit). Now I need some help with the coffee.

My bf has an old ass plug-in percolator which tends to leave a substantial amount of grounds in every batch he makes, even if we use a filter. He has a blade grinder that tends to pulverize the beans into a dust which doesn't work all that well for the percolator as its only meant for coarse grounds, and we can't find filters for coffee that fine. I've noticed he's been looking up burr grinders and decided to get him one as a gift. They seem to give the consistency that the percolator needs.

However looking at Amazon I've noticed two things: 1) they're expensive and 2) even the nicer ones are still shit. They either clog up with the grounds, stop functioning, or don't ground coffee consistently. Can anyone redpill me on burr grinders? Are they just a meme or worth it? Or should I just get him a new percolator and call it a day?

You should get him an order of Folgers, it's much better than that Maxwell House shit.

Okay, then explain how to use them then. He has another equally old single setting blade grinder. I'm also not about to give him either of those since he doesn't use the French Presses he already has nor wants espresso.

I've heard these are great but when I asked he didn't want one that you have to crank. He just wants he can set and it does it automatically.

Get her a Keurig machine. Chicks dig that shit. No muss, no fuss.
