FAQ
Do I need fancy gear to use this?
No. Start with ratio + grind + time. Most “bad coffee” problems are extraction problems, not gear problems.
What’s the fastest way to improve my coffee today?
Pick one method guide, use the starting ratio, and change only one variable at a time. That stops the endless guessing.
