Vent: a barista in Spokane said my home pour overs taste like nothing, and now I think she was right
I have been making pour overs at home for 8 years. Same beans, same ratio, same ritual. Last week I was at a spot in Spokane and got talking to the barista. She asked what grinder I use and I said a blade one I got as a gift in 2019. She just kind of paused and said that was probably why my coffee tastes flat. I got defensive at first, but she was right. I tried my buddy's burr grinder the next morning and it was a whole different drink. Not here to start a grinder war, but has anyone else had someone point out something that obvious about their setup?
