Newbie Plan of Attack (with questions)

The challenge to me is making it consistently palatable. I hope the data points just get me ballparked sooner. They are in and of themselves no guarantee of maximum "good" flavor. It's kind of fun to track the variables in a geeky way

Newbie Plan of Attack (with questions)

Totally concur! While my initial approach sounds very left brain, the object is to consistently make good stuff ASAP and enjoy that Savory Beverage Experience.

Newbie Plan of Attack (with questions)

I dove into the hobby a couple weeks ago when the Quickmill Lucca M58 arrived. Currently grinding with a freshly-burred Rocky; K30 Vario on the way.

Clarification of an old question: Merits of conical vs. flat burr grinder?

Clive Coffee, TESTED new Quick Mill Lucca M58 (vs Profitec 700 Pro!)

I'd like to see the Lucca M58 and the Profitec toe to toe. Profitec seems great on paper but numerous posts refer to DOA units. Wonder if a cause was eliminated? Some Lucca reviews may be helpful
