Hi all,
I got a porlex tall for work to brew pour over using a V60. I've found it doesn't grind fine enough - I'm wondering if I have ended up with a faulty grinder. I have dialled it to 1 click to only just get a suitable outcome.
I use 24g coffee to 400g of water - looking for a 2.5 - 3.5 min brew time (including a 30 sec bloom). No issues getting this using my Niche Zero, however when using the porlex, I started off going off the recommended setting of around 7-9 for pour over and was way way too coarse with a very short brew time with sour coffee. Have reduced from there and have started to hit around 2min 45s using 1 click.
Is this normal? If so, doesn't this make it useless for espresso as it wouldn't be able to go anywhere near fine enough?
