Can we talk about the burr grinder that fought me for 90 minutes?
Spent an hour and a half last Sunday chasing a sour shot because my burr was off by two clicks and I kept changing the dose instead. Turns out the grinder wasn't broken, I was just stubborn, so what's the dumbest thing you've torn apart before checking the grind setting?
I've noticed this same thing with my car, my wifi router, and honestly my own back pain. We jump straight to the big fix because it feels like we're doing something, when the real answer is usually some small setting we skipped past. Two clicks on a grinder is nothing, but changing it feels like admitting we were wrong, so we keep dumping in more coffee and hoping. My router sat there getting rebooted for a week before I found out the cable was just loose.
