TIL I was overthinking my morning coffee routine for years

Used to weigh beans, time pours, and fiddle with water temp every single day. Now I just use a $15 Mr. Coffee and the pre-ground stuff from the grocery store - tastes the same to me and saves about 10 minutes.

Your Mr. Coffee is probably fine for most mornings. But weighing beans and timing pours isn't about pretension. The difference really shows with light roasts or single origins. Those subtle flavors you can pick up just don't come through from grocery store pre-ground.

Fair point, but pre-ground isn't automatically worse for darker roasts.
