Hit 200 straight pourovers without a single channeled brew
I used to think getting a perfect pour every time was just luck. Then I started tracking my ratio and timing with a simple notebook. After 200 pours, I realized consistency is just about being boring and repeating the same steps. My friend laughed when I told him, but he tried it and his coffee cleaned up too. Anyone else keep a log of their brew numbers?

200 pours is a solid milestone, but channeling can still happen if your beans are a bit too fresh or too stale.

Whoa, slow down there. You're making it sound like you solved rocket science. Hitting 200 pours without channeling is cool and all, but it really just means you got lucky with your grind size and water temp most days. I mean, I've had bags that were perfect for weeks, then the roaster changes something subtle and suddenly my flow rate goes sideways. It's coffee, not a math test. You don't need a whole notebook to know when a pour looks good, you just feel it. Logging every single brew feels like overkill for something you drink in five minutes.
