Hi, I've noticed that recently grinding for pourover on my Comandante MK3 grinder results in a weird distribution in grind size. Most of the particles are rather small, but there are quite a lot of outliers which are rather bouldery. It's also worth noticing...

Question about brew volumes of the Moccamaster KBGV Select
So if you are familiar with the model, it has 2 buttons: on/off and full/half carafe and that is all. Obviously I know what the on/off does, but my question is whether the size button does anything other than change the temperature of the hot plate. My current method...
Looking for a 1.5L or so capacity gooseneck kettle
I recently purchased a bigger travel mug for my spouse, which necessitated a larger pour over carafe, which now necessitates a larger kettle (ours is 1L currently). Must haves include a digital thermostat and the gooseneck pouring feature. Anybody have a source for...
Question for Hario Switch users
Are you using it as a full immersion brewer (i.e. brewing similar to a clever) or a hybrid immersion/pour over (i.e. heavy bloom with the brewer closed, then opening and treating it like regular v60 from there), or some other combination of open/closed? I'm...
Kalita Wave: underrated dripper?
I got a glass Kalita Wave (small 155 size) the other day because I wanted to try something different from my V60. So far I've tried brewing a few different coffees I have with it, and it has been easy to dial in and get a great cup every time. The flat bottom...

Hi friends, I’m looking to buy a manual hand grinder for when I’m on the road. An opportunity opened up on a used comandante grinder that’s $250. It’s lightly used for under a year. Do you think it’s worth it for that price? submitted by ...
I don’t get how people can say coffee has a massive difference in taste
(Not hating on coffee, just can’t understand it) Now I know that store bought grind will end up tasting lifeless or not great at all and can fully understand if you love coffee that’s basically last resort unless that’s just your personal preference, but I have tried...

Thanks in advance for your help. I drink more coffee than anyone should, but I’m a beginner in the higher end market. I like gadgets also. I have a Nespresso original and Vertuo plus, along with a DeLonghi Specialista Arte. I recently bought a pour over, aero press,...

Hitting a wall with Aeropress brewing and flavor profiles
Hey all, I’ve been on the specialty coffee journey for several months now, so far only using my baratza encore and an Aeropress. I’m at the point where I can brew great smooth cups of coffee that aren’t bitter or sour, but have found the more complex flavors that are...
Anyone have a reliable siphon method?
I've used a siphon for coffee for the last fifteen years or so, which until recently was either a 1/2 pint or 1 pint (depending if solo or making for two) Cona device, using an alcohol lamp and glass rod filter. More recently I've picked up a Hario TCA-2...
Resurrecting Neapolitan Coffee Maker from Dustbin of History
Bought a dinged Ilsa stainless steel 3-cup, half-price, from Amazon Warehouse. Essentially it's drip coffee using a built-in metal filter with drilled perforations like a Vietnamese or South-Indian-type device. The resulting brew retains a bit of sediment, like a...
Coffee Machine Recomendation

Bonavita 8-cup taking 15 mins for water to get through filter.
Hey all, recently my Bonavita 8 Cup coffee machine has been taking 15 minutes for the water to get through the filter and into the carafe. The water just sits in the filter. This only recently started happened over a year since I’ve been using it. I descaled the...

I have been experimenting with a homemade cold drip coffee maker lately (plastic bottle + Aeropress). After a few attempts I've "tuned" it to brew in about 3 hours and have been getting great coffee. Until this point I had stuck to immersion cold brew,...
How is the coffee/water ratio determined?
Seems simple right? Total water divided by total coffee. But what happens to the water that doesn’t make it to the coffee? Today I had 45 grams for coffee and 5 grams for the filter. At the end, my filter weighed 130 grams. So that’s 80 grams of water trapped in the...
Advice with Fetco batch brewer
How do I dial in a coffee for a Fetco XTS? Is it the same process as for espresso? If it tastes bitter do I go coarser, and if it’s sour do I go bitter? And how much of a grind size change would be a meaningful adjustment? Would anyone have some advice for me on...

How do i get more consistent while making my coffee?
Hey, i've bought coffee from a local roastery, Ethiopia a bit darker roast than medium, that should have moderate acidity, which is pretty much my preference. Whenever i prepare it at home with my french press, the acidity is clearly present, but when i use my...
Opinions on modding for stepless grinding
Lance Hedrick always modifies his stepped grinders to be steppless and advises others to do the same, but this seems like there would have to be some downside to it. I don't see much information on it when Googling around. Does anyone have any experience or...
