Just realized my $8 hand grinder trick was actually hurting my pour over
I always shook my hand grinder to settle the grounds before dumping them, figured it kept things even. Then a barista at the shop on 5th Street told me the shaking makes the fines settle to the bottom, so my bed was never level. Tried it without the shake for a week and my cups got sweeter and more even, go figure. Anyone else mess with how they dump grounds, or am I the last one to hear this?
