How does it fit on top of the Aeropress Larry?

you remove the dripper and it will sit over the opening of the Aeropress.  Won't lock to it, but would be easy to hold due to the funnel shape of it.  I'll try to video a grind with it.

Wow, Larry, you have even more toys than that Goat fella.

I don't even think I'm close to the B|Goatish collection.  He's got more cory rods than I have toys.

First test drive.

It seems to produce a very consistent grind.  Easy to adjust (easier than the hario).  I also like that it has a cover for the beans because with the hario bean parts tend to jump out.  Not so with the Grindripper.  Also easy to assemble.  What I like most about it is the shape.  It fits the hand better than the hario.  If this is a draw back, you can only grind about 25 grams of coffee at a time, but that fits well with the dripper for a single cup. 

I got the espro yesterday, and the Grindripper showed up too... like Christmas almost.

So I decided to put them back to back this morning with some Injerto I roasted a few days ago.

Two variables in the comparison.  Grinder (used my grindmaster for the press) and of course the grindripper has both a grinder and a dripper, so the brew method was different.

Both produced a good clean cup, no fines.  The press seemed a little more silky/buttery probably due to the additional oils.  Both made with 24 grams of coffee the 300 grams of water.  The grindripper ~200 grams. 

tomorrow I'll grind with a Bunn G3, a grindmaster, the Grindripper and Hario.  Hopefully I can get some macros of the different grinds.

First impression.... great travel combo... wish it came with a cloth bag.

Better bring that setup with you in Feb...  you know who you're staying with.  You can't always count on a good cup o' joe over there.

I tried to capture the difference between 4 grinders

5 slots left

I'm looking for input on what to do if we don't get more interest.

1) I just keep it
2) Adjust the price per person and go with 5 ($9.60/ person)
3) wait another week and see if more folks are interested.
4) Announce the topic ( I haven't done that)

Agreed, as long as he is not bringing the Clover, carry-on the Bunn and the Grand Ripper.  We can have a shoot-out among them, my Macap and Peter's Compak.
