V12man Posted October 22, 2013 Share Grind gets finer as it ages, and heads the other way when you start again with fresh beans - its a never ending hunt..... But with practice it gets easier. If you necter have to change the grind, to keep flow and the blondiing point the same, then chances are you are using stale coffee - properly fresh coffee changes every day.... And the taste changes too - which can be good, bad or terrible... JR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted October 22, 2013 Share oops - Necter should read NEVER... The other thing that sometimes affects the grind is the weather - the more humid it gets, sometimes you have to loosen the grind - so yesterday with the rain in jhb, I went couser a couple of clicks, and today finer - but not all the way - if it stays dry overnight, then tomorrow it will be finer still - this is something I do almost automatically on a rainy day.

Will keep this in mind. Bean age post roast affects a lot of things.... most importantly taste... and mouth feel.. Also remember that your new grinder will take a while to settle in - at least 5kg of beans.... so prepare for a few 'funnies' in the early stages.... look on it as a character building experience...

no calves Posted October 25, 2013 Share So we are all coffee lovers and we have a very special bond with our machines and beans. SO: what do YOU do when you are at lets say a friends place and you get offered jacobs coffee? worse still the unspeakable ricoffee or fresco . WHAT DO YOU DO??Is it a case of hat, coat, door or do you man up and drink the filth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quickly figure out who serves decent coffee... and they get to know you... so they usually avoid offering coffee.. except for my mates I have converted, and the couple that converted me...

HappyMartin Posted October 25, 2013 Share I don't drink instant coffee. My alternative is Rooibos tea, black no sugar. Hard to stuff that up. Jacques Viljoen and Weight Weenie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
