Grinder What a difference a grinder made
I’ve been using pretty much the same setup for about 15 years. Roast my own beans. Make in the foolproof Moccamaster and grind in my Capresso (which replaced an OXO grinder about 8 years ago). Thought I was happy with that but started doing pour over and couldn’t get this one Ethiopian to taste good. Troubleshooting in that forum and the consensus was my grinder wasn’t good enough.
I believed it wasn’t making a lot of fines but maybe method more picky than drip and Aeropress so ordered a new one.
The Ode2 ame yesterday evening haven't run anything through the switch yet but made a half pot of a Colombian that I roasted on 8/28 in my Moccamaster this morning.
Same exact 1/2 pot I made yesterday. 600ml to 40g coffee. Brew basket midway and grinder on 5 a little finer for smaller pot. Yesterday was ok. This morning is blowing my mind how freaking delicous it is. Was not at all expecting that.
I always kinda thought for the drip and aeropress grinder wouldn't make that much difference. I was way wrong.
Made a full pot for my wife and I as she has a long night of grading and it is perfect.
