I was grinding beans the night before and blaming my machine for 2 years

I used to weigh out my whole week of beans every Sunday night and grind them right there, thinking I was being efficient. Then a guy at the counter at my bar in Portland asked what I brewed with and I told him, and he just said "grind it right before you pour, man." I tried it the next morning with the same beans and the same drip setup, and the cup went from flat and kind of cardboardy to actually sweet. Two years of tweaking my water and my ratios and it was the Sunday grinding the whole time. What did you change that felt too simple to actually matter?
