My grind setting was off by two clicks for a whole year
I thought my Pour-over was just naturally bitter, but last Tuesday a barista at the local shop asked to taste it and said it looked too fine. I adjusted two clicks coarser and the sweetness came out instantly. Has anyone else had a small tweak fix a flavor issue they blamed on beans?

My buddy Marcus spent like 8 months blaming his roaster for this weird dusty taste in his Chemex. He was ordering new bags every two weeks trying to find one that wasnt muted and chalky. Turned out his burr grinder had drifted way off and he was basically making mud the whole time. One day he borrowed my hand grinder for a batch and it was night and day, the fruit notes just popped out. He felt so dumb but honestly its such an easy thing to miss when you set it once and never touch it again. That two click thing is real, small changes make a huge diff in pour over.
