UNLESS COFFEE SHOPS STOP USING TIPS AS A WAY TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR SHODDY WAGES FOR BARISTAS, THIS THREAD WILL BE CLOSED

I'm going to get a goose neck kettle to take my pour over game to the next level (possibly final level unless I want to spend thousands on insane high end grinders)

and then get really fixated on my pour technique

Just order a moka pot online? They're pretty common. They make bad coffee quickly, and mediocre coffee slowly

up at 5:30 am, going for a second aeropress cup now.

I cleaned the burr grinder for the first time in forever, coffee maybe tasting better? IDK. Was some accumulated bits of beans that got cleared out in any event.

I find cleaning the burr mainly reduces the effort it takes to get a nice fine grind afterwards

How often do people wash their grinders? I disassemble mine and scrub it about once a month, which is about 30-40 cups.

my instructions say not to get the burr wet so I just wash the plastic bits occasionally. Like, very occasionally since I don't keep beans in it but use only the amount needed each day

moka pots are very fussy to work with compared to something like an aeropress, and even when you get it right it's only ok coffee. I'm willing to die on this hill.

I take apart the Niche every few months. It's always pretty clean inside - just needs a light brushing to get everything out.

it's zero retention that just works.

We brush out our cheap rear end burr grinder once a week to do decaf in it.

Kirkland organic coffee line is excellent at the price point ($10l/b)

I thought the point of cleaning your burr was to remove built up coffee oils? Not sure how canned air accomplishes this task

The instructions for my grinder just say brush away the grounds and/or vacuum them out. I guess you can remove the burr set and fully sanitize it, but I wouldn't bother unless the machine was going to be stored for a while
