TIL my cheap drip machine actually makes a decent cup after I started weighing the beans
I always figured you needed a fancy setup, but using 18 grams for my 10 ounce mug changed the game. Anyone else find a simple tweak that made a huge difference?

Weighed beans are the real upgrade, not the machine. My pour-over went from sad to solid once I stopped eyeballing it.

Yeah, @the_angela is totally right. I see this everywhere, like with baking. You can have a fancy mixer, but if you just guess on the flour, your cake will be a mess. The simple act of measuring makes the biggest difference. It's the boring basics that actually get you good results.

Remember my buddy who kept buying new gear for his coffee? He finally got a scale, and his next batch was the best he's ever made. Felt like a total idiot for not doing it sooner.
