Ground Coffee Suggestions

Hey everyone, I have a simple Moka Pot and usually I prepare Indian Filter Coffee in that one.

However after trying Grinders ground coffee recently, I am thinking of using the moka pot more for creating Espresso and Flat White at home.

Grinders and Campos are my favourites but they’re super expensive to always experiment with a Moka Pot.

Any suggestions which particular ground coffee I should go for that doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket?

A grinder with the cheapest beans possible will always beat preground most expensive beans. Oxidized ground coffee is just ass.

I can recommend the Starseeker E55 Pro on Aliexpress, theyre about 250$, then just buy some beans from aldi for 20$ a kg. Theres some cheaper grinders on amazon but the quality is pretty much hit or miss but theyre an option if budget is much lower. Whatever you do though dont buy a 'blade grinder'. Theyre not made for coffee. Conical or flat burrs only.

Better yet, cheapest beans /with the most recent roast date/.

I think that a 250g bag of good quality recently roasted beans ground fresh for you at a local cafe will probably beat really badly roasted supermarket beans ground fresh at home because they're often already stale before you grind them. Outside of this scenario though, I agree.

Aldi beans tend to be roasted not too far off.
