Life… uh… finds a way

Everything’s a brassica

Even grind size is the most important benefit. Plus there is no guesswork on how long to grind them for like there is with the blade. You set the grind size and that’s the size you get. There’s typically some sort of adjusting wheel that may or may not have stops; stopless are more expensive, and it stays where you set it so your beans are ground to the same size as long as you don’t move the setting.

Yeah, temp should be 205F for most pour over applications. Shouldn’t need to fool around with that. I don’t let time bother me at all on the chemex, can take a while sometimes. I just mainly focus on keeping a nice even bed while I’m pouring.

^May change your life. Lots of options in the 50ish range for burr hand grinders, especially if you’re just gonna do pour over. Also, consistent filters do make a pretty big difference. If you’re just making for yourself, a hario v60 is also only like 20 bucks for a glass one.

I promise I did not do this on purpose. I like potatoes but not potato quality.

I use a chemex, I’ll usually tighten the grind as I go through a bag, so I’ll back the setting off a little before a new bag and then tighten from there. Coffee is too expensive these days to throw away a bad brew and I prefer my coffee to be a little soupy vs. over-extracted

Are you using a blade grinder? I would highly recommend even a cheap burr grinder over blade. What’s your overall brew setup?
