The air pump that changed my pour over routine in Portland
I was at this tiny coffee spot in Portland, around N Mississippi, and the barista asked if I wanted my beans ground for pour over. I said no, I use a hand grinder at home, and she just smiled and pulled out this little air pump thing she used to blow dust off the burrs. I'd never seen that before, so I tried it on my grinder when I got back, and wow, the difference in my cup was huge. My old grinds always had that fine powder stuck in the basket, now my coffee tastes way cleaner and less bitter. Has anyone else tried blowing out their grinder between uses or am I late to this one?
