Hello CoffeeSnobs
Just in the last few days I have started my Coffee Journey after much reading through this site.
Whilst an Alex Duetto would be nice to start with (Its shiny! Its got computer stuff! I want one!!!
), I thought it better to take small steps.
So Ive been playing with my recently arrived Aeropress and Hario grinder from Thingscoffee. I picked up some fresh roasted decaf and some sumatran mandheling from CosmoreX and have started to grind and press.
I find I can get a really good grind with the decaf - the puck in the press is very smooth and solid, and comes off the filter mostly in one big chunk.
With the Sumatran though as soon as I push the plunger out after taking the cap off most of the puck falls away immediately, and about half the puck breaks away.
My question: a crumbly puck - does this mean my grind is too large?
Regards
James
