ken0062 All this talk about C40’s is getting me tempted, how much of a difference in taste would i expect to gain from my humble MBK aergrind
I’m not sure if I could taste the difference between a brew with a C40 and a more entry level grinder (if that’s even the right phrase) based purely on how skilled my palette is. I did previously have a Hario Mini Mill but any improvement in my cup is likely more to do with better technique than purely the grinder.
Pretty sure the reviews/ tests for the C40 show it’s grind profile is pretty good, i.e. less fines/ boulders compared to other hand grinders. Whether you can taste that in the cup probably depends on how skilled your palette is.
What I do get with the C40 is consistency, i.e. every time I set it to ‘x’ clicks it’s exactly the same each time, which wasn’t the case with my previous grinder. It’s also much easier to set it to the right number of clicks whereas with the Hario I never knew exactly which setting it was on. All of this means a consistently better cups than I had previously.
