The easiest way to learn about one coffee (for me) is to contrast it with another. I think this is true for cupping as well.

Only tasting your own stuff, or only 3 coffees from your range, can make you pretty blinkered.

When I did the juan de fuca trail I weighed out each serving of beans and packaged them separately before I set off, and stored them in the hand grinder and press pot, but it definitely took up a lot of space in the pack. It would be neat if a hand grinder could lock onto the top of a press and form the main storage chamber, and then the grinder handle could be stored inside, along with the beans and a timer/scale or something...<br>That doesn't really answer the question, though. sorry.

Not too bad, especially if one travels a great deal. And looks like, via googling the part number, you can have it for less than $75. Not too bad, especially if one travels a great deal.
