Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.

Doesn’t work with V60 style, but with an aeropress it would have worked a lot better.

Oh, man!!! I didn’t even think of that!! Making coffee before coffee wins again…

I share my SK40 for espresso (usually morning) and aeropress (usually afternoon), and have definitely left it set for the wrong thing occasionally.

The aeropress is a little stiff to press if you put espresso grind in it, the product is usually fine. The underextraced 10ish second espresso shot is a lot more disappointing.

I’ve noticed that the AeroPress is actually very forgiving when it comes to particle size. If you’re using about 60 g/l, there’s only one way to screw it up, and that is by grinding to coarse. In that case the water will just run through the bed under a minute and your coffee ends up being too dilute. Fortunately, there are a few ways to fix that, so the game isn’t entirely over at that point.

Grinding too fine isn’t really a problem either, since you can always just press the water through the bed even if the filter is completely clogged up. It’s just going to take a bit longer to do so. Your coffee might not be ideal, but at least it will be drinkable.

I had the same experience this morning. Glad to see I’m not the only one who has issues with a shared grinder.

I frequently think to myself that the problem with making your own coffee is that you have to do it before you’ve had any coffee.

Keurig enters the building.

“Get outa here!!”

Keurig sulks out of the building.

Small benefit of hand grinding: ain’t no way I’m accidentally grinding espresso fine with the amount of work it takes

That is true. And I do have a hand grinder, but I discovered that I’m pissy before I get my coffee and hand grinding exacerbates that pissiness.
