What topics are too weird, @dakotacraig?

Totally feel that.

Yeah, it's totally a thing... cheap beans are like sandpaper for the burrs. I did it with an old bag of grocery store dark roast and the grind got way more even after. Carr.james might not notice a break-in on some grinders, but on my budget one it made a huge difference. The first few shots were super bitter, then it settled down. It's like wearing in new shoes, but for your grinder.

I used to just give up when people didn't see the history around them. Then I read about the old shoe factory downtown that had a secret tunnel for workers. I started telling people that one fact, and now they ask me what else they've missed. It really does open a door for them to start looking closer at everything.

Six months on a backyard hearth is wild. That's a serious amount of time to spend on smoke. Guess history doesn't always translate to the suburbs.
