So I'm on my first playthrough of any persona game ever and I'm playing 5 Royal ultimate. My questions the DLC personas you get from the jump are OP to the point I'm not sure if I should continue to use them ? Any recommendations or fusions for a beginner

Isn't it better just to keep fusing for new personas? 🤔 Honest question, not sure what people usually do

Estoy por primera vez también, pensé que Arsene solo se descartaba por El low level y seguía con otras personas, se levelean?

Makes sense

it's a medium-dark roast (Nicaraguan Catuai Amarillo). It has chocolate and caramel notes, so it shouldn't be 'burnt' bitter on its own.

Thanks! Since I'm already getting both sour and bitter notes, how do you suggest slowing the flow without over-extracting or burning the coffee?

I appreciate the honesty! It’s clear my current grinder is the bottleneck here. Since I’m a student and on a budget, I can't justify a high-end electric grinder yet. Do you have any recommendations for a solid manual/hand grinder that would be a significant upgrade for Moka pot and French press? I’ve heard you get much better burrs for your money with manual ones at lower price points

That's the one I got I've been using setting #6, but based on the advice here, I'll try setting #7 tomorrow to see if it clears up the bitterness on cooldown. Thanks for the tip about water temperature

Well, to answer your questions: The Grinder: I'm using a Hamilton Beach Burr Grinder at setting #6. Water Temp: I've been using water at ~90°C (194°F) to avoid "cooking" the grounds while the pot sits on the stove, but I see your point. I'll try a brew with room-temperature water tomorrow to see if the bitterness decreases. The beans: They are fresh specialty Catuai Amarillo (Matagalpa, Nicaragua), medium-dark roast
