I tend to catch most before following through but i do occasionally put two lots of beans in the grinder, I start thinking its taking a bit too long and then realise.
Forgetful things we do

Another thing I did today was grinding at a wrong grind size for filter. I have two grind settings for filter, which are #27 for manual brews like V60/Hario Switch and #17 for the Aromaboy on the Duo.
Without checking the grind size, I ground the coffee, and started brewing on the Hario Switch. Normally, 18g coffee and 270g water require 6 × 45g x 40s pulses for a total brew time of 4:30 mins for self. At the start of the 2nd pour, I realised the mistake, quickly adjusted the wait time between pours from 40s a pulse to 30s, reduced the dry bed time by a minute to 3:30 mins and ended with a very nice cup.
It happens to every one of us. I don’t like wasting coffee. I drink irrespective of the taste. 😊
Yep, grinding without the cup is a regular occurrence for me.
More than once I’ve very nearly poured milk into the reservoir. Also nearly steamed an espresso with the steam wand.

No I would remember what I had forgot.
The Studmistress is always happy to remind me of my past deeds.
As they say, most archeologists are female because they just love to dig up old stuff.
Apologies to our female members.

Amberale you’re sooo right, I see it often with my ex wife hahahahah
For two years on the trot I have forgotten to take my fingers away from under a whetstone sharpened to a razor’s edged knife when cutting veg, resulting in two hospital visits. Luckily, my Churchill impression has not been affected, but since buying a proper meat slicer, I am worried that my Christmas Panto Captain Hook performance might become that much more realistic.
