I've been watching Kasuya Tetsu on IG and he seems to never rinse his V60 filters. This seems also true of many Japanese coffee shokunin. ( Shokunin is usually translated as artisan, but the concept is hard to translate into English in a single word. )
After having a few DM conversations with members (like zero610 and Jake_G), I thought it would be a good idea to pool the opinions of all HB brew-focused users.
I'm interested in uncovering what 98mm burrs are optimal for filter brewing only, promoting sweetness and...
I have an uncommon problem. Most people are happy with their pour over grinder, and need to upgrade for espresso. My problem is quite the opposite. I'm very happy with my Baratza Sette for espresso (I'll need to shim it fairly soon, though), but I don't seem to find a...

I have had a Hario Switch for about 10 months. I use a regular V60 more, but usually try a new coffee a time or two in the Switch. Since I mainly brew low to mid 20 grams of coffee, I have a V60 size 03 that I use in it, so I can do a full pour.
