Coffee setup quiz FAQs

How much should I spend on a home coffee setup?

$100 buys a hand grinder, dripper and kettle that beat most cafés for filter coffee. $300 adds an electric grinder and scale. $1,000 covers real espresso with a dedicated espresso grinder.

What is the most important part of a coffee setup?

The grinder. Spend more of your budget on the grinder than the brewer — grind consistency affects taste more than any other single variable.

Can I make espresso at home for $100?

Real espresso needs pressure and a capable grinder, so it is not realistic at $100. At that budget, choose an AeroPress or V60 for excellent coffee and upgrade to espresso later.

Should I choose pour over, French press or espresso?

Pick pour over for bright, clean cups; French press or AeroPress for easy, full-bodied brews; and espresso if you love lattes and flat whites and have the budget for a grinder plus machine.

Does the quiz recommend exact products?

Yes. After three questions the quiz builds a matched bundle with named products, prices and tagged Amazon links so you can buy the exact gear.
