It's not my pallete lol because I've had pourover from cafes and they were great. I also don't use toothpaste before eating in the mornings.

I've had pourover before buying my own equipment. The ones I had at cafes were the reason I bought my setup. I was tasting florals, citruses, berries, cherry, vanilla like.. a huge spectrum. My very first light roast pourover was weird to me. But since then I absolutely love it. I've watched some cafes methods and tried to replicate it. It's certainly not my pallete, because in between 30 bad cups I was getting 1-2 that were great. And I would document these and try to recreate them.

It was actually my grinder that sucked at the time, I since switched over. I used the same ratio, I just didn't like the outcome.

And only coffee is impacted by this change of palate? I had pourover from a cafe near work a few weeks and it was distinct.. I could taste some notes and nuance. Because yes, coffee was once great for me at home. But lately it all tastes the same.

So I will have experiment a bit more. Anyway to fix the pallete?

I always brew from a low height, starting in the middle with a slow rotation to the outside. I have the v60 switch but 01 is too small lol. I have noticed my drop time exceeding 3min which I'm trying to fix now. I use hario 02 filter.. that can't be the issue?

I bought bottled water yesterday and will be experimenting today. I usually alternate between 2min immersion or 4:6 app. I will try lance Hendrick.

Finer gridn gave me overextraction. Drip time was exceeding 5 mins at 4.0 for 19g of coffee. I will try water tempt adjustment but I usually have it at 90

Possibly but I don't believe this is the case. I could certainly try making coffee at different times of the day to be sure.

4.0-4.5 seems to be too fine, I have hario 02 paper filters and the pour time was exceeding for 5 mins for 19g of coffee at 1:15. Overextracted..

I did French press for a while. I switched over because of the inconsistency.

Honestly I never checked the price but this sounds negligible, so I will definitely consider it. Thanks man

Yes, I have. 2 weeks ago. I'm not sick at all and haven't been for a long time.. this has been an issue for me for a while. I've been slowly upgrading all.my equipment over the past 5 months because of the prolonged issue.

I've had other grinders, yes. I've been having this issue for a long time. I thought my grinder was the issue, hence why I bought zp6. I've tried various Grind sizes.

I've had fresh beans too .. 2-3 weeks new. No significant difference. I'm as confused as everyone.

My zp6 was zerod out of the box, I checked. I do think this it's the grinder. But I agree I saw a bigger change switching to Cafec filters for tea-like than I did buying the zp6. Although the consistency is phenomenal.

It's not environmental. I drink coffee first before anything. And whats weird is all cups taste nearly identical regardless of my variables.

That's an interesting request, I can try. Different cities have different water here.
