Coffee quantity affecting grind size?

I use a manual grinder (Kinu m47) for espresso. It's nice and reliable, grind size is easy to replicate, and overall it's a nice grinder. Now here is the weird thing: it seems like grind size changes if I grind more coffee. I grind either 16g or 32g for one...

Spritzing beans before grinding

Just bought and started using a Baratza Encore grinder. Saw some folks say that they spritzed their beans before grinding to avoid static/chaff. I thought it might cause rust on the burrs so I asked Baratza support if they recommended this practice (or didn't),...

Grinder for cupping

I've recently become interested in trying cupping for the first time to compare my new own-roasted coffee to pre-roasted specialty and supermarket coffee. The thing is I usually make espresso so I only have a Baratza Sette 30 grinder. Will it grind course enough...

Fresh Roast, Pre Ground = Bad Coffee?

So my current setup doesn’t include a Coffee Grinder and I’ve tried 3 different beans from local coffee shops and all taste just bitter. I intentionally under extracted a cup to see and it was still bitter. My current equipment is Aeropress, a set of coarse pre ground...

Wen you "finish" your draw-down?

I see this talked about in forums but never in any of the videos I've seen for V-60 techniques and I'm curious about the general consensus on the matter. Generally, I'll wait about ~5 seconds after the bed has settled (grounds are clearly visible and...

Spare Bialetti Mukka pressure valve?

Hi coffee lovers, I've recently sold my Bialetti Mukka to someone but the courier damaged it in transit and the valve bit broke off. I have refunded her the money but feel so bad as she was excited to have it. I'm trying to find the spare that's not...

Too Many Fines with M2 Burr

I upgraded my Encore to the M2 burr about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I’ve noticed way too many fines and a very uneven grind which has led to bland or bitter coffee no matter which way I brew. I typically brew with Lance Hendricks V60 or Hoffman’s new V60 technique...

This Week in Coffee; 31st of Jan ’23

I'm in London this week but taking time to tour the great coffee establishments here and purchase more coffee than I can feasibly ever drink. One thing I can find amazing about London compared to Milan, Munich and Berlin is the total lack of any coffee machine...

Fellow airtight canister

I got a Fellow brand canister for my beans and am frustrated that the airlock frequently does not work. I twist it closed vigorously, back and forth probably 20 times and it seems to seal but the next morning the lid just comes off without needing to release the...

Question on steaming milk

I got an espresso machine a few months ago. After a lot of learning and trial and error I am pulling really good shots of espresso. My issue is steaming milk. Sometimes I get a beautiful froth other times it is just hot milk and I can't figure out what I am doing...

Question on basic use of grinders.

I just got a 1zpresso q2. It is my first grinder having always previously either bought preground or used a Delonghi Magnifica EM4200. I have a couple of questions regarding how to use it, to start I understand the logic behind clicks and how one number is 3 clicks...
