Just realized my barista friend was right about my grind size and it stung
Six months ago I was grinding finer and finer chasing a better shot, and my friend Dana watched me pull one and said "dude, you're choking the basket, back off." I got defensive and ignored her for weeks. Then I finally tried going two clicks coarser on my Encore and the shot went from 55 seconds of drip to a solid 28 with actual crema. She was right and I hate how right she was. What grind adjustment did someone call you out on that you actually stuck with?
