Went from a blade grinder to a burr grinder in March and I still feel dumb about the wait
For about 6 years I used a $20 blade grinder and just pulsed it and hoped for the best. My coffee always tasted a little muddy, but I figured that was just how home coffee went. Then in March a guy at a cafe on Foster Road in Portland let me try a cup he made with a hand burr grinder and the difference hit me right away. I bought one for $45 the next day and now my pour over takes about 40 seconds longer but tastes like a totally different drink. Did anyone else put off the switch way too long, or was it just me?
