A guy at the farmers market said my pour-over was too fast

He was selling beans and watched me make a cup. He told me to try grinding a bit finer and pouring slower, like over 30 seconds. Has anyone had a tip like that really change how your coffee tastes?

Guess the coffee police are doing market patrols now.

Had a barista tell me my grind was too coarse once. Took the advice and my french press coffee stopped tasting weak. Sometimes they actually know what they're talking about.

Shane's coffee police line is funny... but my buddy had a similar thing happen. A barista at his local spot watched him do a V60 and just said "you're rushing the bloom." He started waiting a full 45 seconds before the next pour, and he swears it went from kinda sour to way more balanced. That one little change actually made a difference for him.
