My pour over went from 5 minute cups to 2 minute cups after I switched grinders at home
Three years ago I was grinding with a $20 blade grinder and letting it sit for like 4 minutes before I even touched the kettle. Last month I finally got a hand grinder with actual burrs after reading too many forum threads, and the whole thing flipped. Turns out my old grind was so uneven that the fine dust was clogging the filter and slowing everything to a crawl. Now the same beans drain in about 2 minutes flat and the cup tastes way cleaner. Did anyone else notice their brew time change a ton just from grinding differently, or was I just late to this?
