Switched from a blade grinder to a burr grinder 3 months ago and my coffee tastes like a totally different drink
For about 6 years I used the same $20 blade grinder I got at Target in Austin, and I thought my coffee was fine. Then 3 months ago my buddy let me borrow his manual burr grinder for two weeks, and the very first cup I made with it tasted so much cleaner that I went out and bought one the same weekend. The big difference for me is the grind is way more even, so my pour over doesn't get that bitter bite at the bottom of the mug anymore. I brew the same beans from the same local shop on Burnet Road, same water, same ratio, so the grinder is the only thing that changed. Has anyone else made this swap and noticed it right away, or did it take you a while to taste the difference?
