Very few grinders I have encountered give an even particle spread as the last few beans go through.įWIW, I use 250g lots & change varietal each time. Uneven spread = too many unwanted fines = goes bitter earlier in the shot = need to pull the shot earlier to prevent it = more of a ristretto = too many low notes / too few high notes = less of the defining characteristics of the particular roast / bean. Most grinder mechanisms use the weight of the beans to feed the burrs correctly.Ĭheck the particle spread both ways and the earlier "only use enough" posters may be in for a rude shock. The real issue with only putting enough beans in the hopper for the shot is simple and pernicious:. oh, and don't drop one on a wet sink and replace it in the hopper (a "barista" did this in front of me).ģ) Light - put something over it as a cover, also helps with:. Keep those beans cool!Ģ) Humidity / moisture - hard to control totally.
+1 as long as the hopper is good enough to keep the four storage gremlins at bayġ) Heat - applies anywhere. Try yourself or you'll only know the one opinion that most people repeat constantly "single dosing"G'day Kyeba I do burn through them in 1-4 days though.Įven when I get a 480g bag and put them in the Hopper, they're still fresh to the last bean. I purchase fresh beans in 250g bags and throw it all in the Hopper and have never noticed a decline in freshness from the end result.
