The barista at the place on Maple Ave asked me one thing about my grind and it changed how I brew
Honestly I stopped into a small place on Maple Ave last Tuesday just to kill 20 minutes and the barista noticed me staring at their grinder. She asked what I brew with at home and when I said a blade grinder she didn't laugh, she just poured some of their grounds into my hand and told me to rub them between my fingers. The difference in feel was wild, like sand versus powder, and she pointed out my blade was probably making both at once. Tbh I never thought about how uneven the pieces are until I felt it right there in my palm. Anyone else have a moment like that where someone just handed you the answer instead of explaining it?
