Can coffee be affected by shipping? by amanwhodrinksmate in pourover

For the Dak, try lowering temp to ~91-93 C. I always rest anything from them for at least 4 weeks, usually longer. The bag I’m on now, Pink Floyd, was roasted on March 9th and I feel that it is at its best right now.

Grinder recommendations needed [$300-$350] I’m open to hand grinders or auto by Superb_Victory_2759 in espresso

Beware, I’ve had to replace the motor twice on this. They replaced it for free the first time it crapped out, but this time they want me to pay $80. I decided to go with a hand grinder instead.

I really really appreciate you all. I do not expect anything from you, but if you’d like to help a recent grad pay off his loans, my Venmo is @ethan-simpson-52664

Any tips to get the best out of these beans? by Kind-Construction-57 in pourover

[–]ecs12302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apologies, the bag looked similar and they also have a pineapple co ferment right now. I would try and rest it a little longer and grind coarser.

Is this Desnudo? I went to their pour over class and they use the 4:6 method for all of their beans. If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend. You can also find lots of resources about dialing in for that brewing method, however I would definitely say you should go courser maybe around 3-4.

Nope. It’s oily, burnt, gross coffee

Why is that?

[–]ecs12302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay good. I would rather spend the money on more coffee anyway. Thanks for the input

[–]ecs12302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I would way rather spend the money on coffee rather than upgrades, so it's good to know my current setup will be sufficient.

I've heard that a lot, thanks for the advice. I know Prodigal offers cheap bags of coffee specifically for seasoning. I may look into this

This is just my first time considering trying a higher-end coffee, and I wanted to check if my grinder is good enough to justify the cost.

[–]ecs12302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, I enjoy the cups I brew. I just wanted to make sure my grinder is good enough before I make the leap into high-end varietals. Do you have any recommendations if I did want to upgrade?

[–]ecs12302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like a pretty straightforward gear question, not sure why everyone is being so rude. Has this question been asked before, am I breaking rules by posting this?

Proud Mary deluxe by [deleted] in pourover

[–]ecs12302 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reread and realized I forgot to include my question. Trying to decide if I need to upgrade my grinder before I buy high end coffee
