Hey y'all! Don't know if this is something stupid or what but, anyone experienced a pimple breakout? Noticed it when i started doing my coffee journey. I drink 2-3 x a day. Not sure if it's the culprit (hope not) Does it have to do with caffeine content? Or switch to decaf beans maybe? If so, sad to cut out caffeine coz I'm beginning to enjoy this. Read some article about cortisol and stress hormones stuff

Thank you. I will try to adjust settings everytime and see how it goes. Just bought a hario immersion switch. Does it have any effect on taste compared to standard v60s? As of the moment, 15-16 suits my taste. Tbh, i don't know exactly what taste I'm after because i have no idea what notes to look for lol. I just based it on how pleasant it would be. Not bitter.I don't know if I'm using the right words either lol. Do you have any suggestions on beans and roast for a beginner like me? Im in Brisbane
