I thought weighing beans was just gatekeeping nonsense until my 3rd bag tasted flat
For 2 years I scooped beans with the same cheap plastic scoop and figured close enough was fine, since my coffee always came out decent. Then a bag of Ethiopian beans from a shop in Portland tasted flat and sour no matter what I changed on my brewer. Out of ideas, I dug out a $12 kitchen scale and found my scoop was swinging between 14 and 22 grams depending on the bean. I locked in 18 grams and the next cup off the same bag actually had the berry thing everyone keeps talking about. Now I weigh every single dose and the swing in my morning cup is gone. So what's the actual tolerance you all use, is plus or minus half a gram worth fussing over or am I overdoing it?
