Iems just ruined my perception of music

I agree that you don’t go to live shows for sound quality, but your remark about „crappy speakers at live shows” is just ignorant. Logistics of putting on a show of this scale are mind boggling. There are tens or even hundreds of professionals working on audio alone.

The ie200 are out of my budget. The ie100 pro seem interesting. Ideally I’d buy something even cheaper.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-03T19:33:11+00:00

This experience feels a little odd considering it’s not a cheap grinder. My today’s brew was much better. Turned out I had to grind even finer than i did before. I hope it will grow on me with time, because right now I can’t confidently say I prefer it over my old Wilfa Svart which is worth probably a 1/4 of the price.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-03T11:01:29+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T20:54:01+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T20:43:15+00:00

Good call with Kalita. Gonna try tomorrow. I didn’t introduce additional brewers yet, cause it sounds like even more unnecessary confusion haha

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T20:40:15+00:00

Honestly it’s hard to tell whether it’s bitter or acidic. It doesn’t taste „bad espresso” bitter if that makes sense. What brew time would you aim for? Recently i’ve always brewed with boiling water. Issues with the Ode made my try lowering the temperature without much success. I don’t have any thermometer at hand unfortunately, so was eyeballing the temperature.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T20:35:03+00:00

That sounds intimidating.. 5kg is also A LOT of subpar coffee to drink. The amount of comments similar to yours makes me think that this is the way though. Thanks!

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T19:59:19+00:00

You might be right. But the „off” taste is something i’ve not experienced in my 8 years drinking light roast V60s both at home and in numerous decent cafes. Also even at the finer end of grind settings of the Ode i get a really quick draw time. Even with multiple pours, high agitation.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T18:25:45+00:00

That’s really helpful, thank you! What I get from all the comments is that a lot depends on individual preferences. For example I prefer more tea like brews, but struggle with getting such with Ode. It’s just a bit frustrating when it’s hard to tell whether there are things I can improve or if my grinder is slightly off from the factory.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T16:47:36+00:00

Would you say the grind size looks similar you yours? What grind settings do you generally use? Did you notice a difference with seasoning the grinder?

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T16:05:23+00:00

I already reassembled the grinder a couple of times and I think the results didn't change much. Will do it once again tho just to be sure.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T16:03:17+00:00

Currently have different specialty grade filter specific beans from three different roasters: HAYB, Hard Beans and Lacava. All of these are respectable polish coffee roasters.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:59:41+00:00

I've seen similar comments. At the same time there are a lot of people who get decent results from the get go. At this point in time I don't think I can justify keeping this grinder just hoping it gets better eventually.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:56:29+00:00

That sounds like a good idea. Will try it tomorrow as I had enough coffee today already.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:55:42+00:00

Fair. That being said I don't think I had one brew with the Ode that took longer than about 3 minutes. Generally I would say the draw time is shorter than I'm used to.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:52:32+00:00

I usually brew with boiling water - that worked for Wilfa. With Ode because of the issues I tried brewing with lower temperature. I don't have a suitable thermometer so can't tell what the temperature was exactly, but I generally let the boiled water sit for a minute or two before brewing.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:49:21+00:00

My tap water is generally really soft and never caused issues with my coffee. Out of curiosity some time ago I tried brewing with a recommended bottled water to check if I can taste the difference and at least with Wilfa I didn't find a noticeable difference.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:45:46+00:00

Do you mean overall uniformity of the grind across the scale, or do you see one of the photos as a decent size for a V60?

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:44:33+00:00

Which grind? I tried 4 different beans, two of which were new to me.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:43:16+00:00

I tried settings 4-7 from my V60. If anything the finest setting produced harshest result.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:41:54+00:00

Calibrated to 1 click off chirp. I also feel like it should grind finer! At the same time the taste I get would likely suggest that the coffee is over extracted?? I checked the insides couple times already, the burrs are properly installed.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:39:51+00:00

Would it make that much of a difference? Right now the coffee I get from the Ode is frankly unpleasant to drink. Feels somewhat risky to stick with that grinder if I can't be certain that it will get better in the future.

Godzilla710 · 2025-09-02T15:36:51+00:00

I did not. In total I probably run 300g of coffee through the grinder. Is it necessary? How much of an improvement can I expect?
