A roaster in Portland told me my pour was drowning the bed, and I've changed my kettle grip since
About two years back I was at a Saturday cupping in Portland and mentioned I could never get a clean cup from my Chemex. A guy named Dale watched me brew once and said, "You're pouring straight down the middle and stalling the bed." I had been doing that for close to three years without thinking about it. He showed me to pour in slow circles starting at the center and working outward, keeping the water level steady. My cups got brighter in about a week, and I still think about that one sentence every time I pick up the kettle. Anyone here ever get a tip like that from a stranger that stuck with you?
