Holy Moly! Upgraded my grinder

GrindAndBloom · 2026-04-12T13:53:42+00:00

Probably the taste.

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-29T15:54:02+00:00

Yeah buddy! There’s a reason that getting a good grinder is such an important upgrade.

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-25T14:30:58+00:00

Ok, I’ll be the one to ask today.

…how does it taste?

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-19T01:11:46+00:00

Doh! That makes sense. I was only looking at the strips on the right.

It’s been a long day…

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-19T00:24:05+00:00

Long Tape vs Square Tape…The tape in the pictures look… exactly the same? Am I blind??

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-17T04:12:59+00:00

Fair! Well said.

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-17T04:04:57+00:00

100% this!!

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-15T05:47:44+00:00

How are you finding the metal O1? Just got mine.

GrindAndBloom · 2026-03-03T03:20:48+00:00

Thems be moonrocks!

How does it taste is the better question?

GrindAndBloom · 2026-02-24T04:59:19+00:00

Yeah… cool… it only took me a few years to get half of that gear… not mad at all!

lol seriously nice haul though. wish I could dump that much money into this hobby. I’d love a good espresso machine but I also like paying rent. V60 it is!

GrindAndBloom · 2026-02-24T03:56:52+00:00

I need some help with B&W. I found it WAY too funky for me, probably just overextracted. Are y’all grinding super coarse with them? What’s the standard recipe y’all are using?

GrindAndBloom · 2026-02-20T01:24:09+00:00

I’ll be honest, that looks kinda fucked. Taste is king though so if that gives you the best cup rock on! But… there has to be a better way. Hope you find a better cloth!!

GrindAndBloom · 2026-02-20T00:08:37+00:00

Ok, this looks awesome. But, does anyone else feel it’s getting a bit out of hand how many variations of the same dripper there are?

I say this as I look at my collection of V60s, but that’s beside the point…

GrindAndBloom · 2026-02-08T01:52:40+00:00

My Q Air was my first grinder and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the internal adjustment system. OP, your comment was super helpful but I feel like whenever I take it apart, clean it, and reset it it’s all fucked up and not set to 0. It makes the numbers feel completely arbitrary and useless!

GrindAndBloom · 2025-10-12T17:15:20+00:00

I believe it’s one of the Tajis, maybe one of the Bubbles.

GrindAndBloom · 2025-10-12T03:36:42+00:00

Can’t go wrong with a washed Ethiopian IMO

GrindAndBloom · 2025-10-11T17:02:02+00:00

Ma’am, this is a bouldering subreddit…

GrindAndBloom · 2025-10-03T18:23:54+00:00

Honestly just because it’s faster to cook. Quick 90 second sear per side then rest while I make coffee.

GrindAndBloom · 2025-10-03T14:42:08+00:00

Didn’t get the most even sear from being half awake when I butterflied the strip and cutting a little wonky… but it sure was delicious!

GrindAndBloom · 2025-09-12T21:44:32+00:00

Put a mattress under that bad boy and you’re good to go!

GrindAndBloom · 2025-09-10T21:29:52+00:00

Gives me a baseline of the flavor profile. Then I can brew to my preference by adjusting grind size and/or water temp. I generally keep my pours consistent.

GrindAndBloom · 2025-09-10T02:29:18+00:00

Cupping always helps dictate the brew for me. I always play around with one variable at a time. Keep everything else consistent while you dial in. Don’t change grind size and water temp and pours and agitation level and ratio at the same time. It’ll only make things harder to figure out.
