Just realized I was measuring my coffee with a tablespoon for 2 years
So I'm at my buddy Dave's place in Boise last weekend and he hands me a kitchen scale to weigh beans before brewing. I'd been scooping with the same old tablespoon since I bought my drip machine, eyeballing it every single morning. Turns out I was dosing almost 30 grams per cup instead of the 18 I thought I was using, which explains why my coffee always tasted like burnt tires no matter what beans I bought. Anyone else find out they were way off on their ratios by accident?
