Best Praise
+22 pts“None. Get a Timemore C2/C3 or a Kingrinder (search the sub the correct model for you). They are much better value for the money. Will last you a long time, will grind much faster than the Hario and with produce a better grind consistency.”

+15 pts“I had a Timemore C3 as well and really struggled with Hoff’s recipe. Had much better and more consistent results with Lance Hedrick’s bloom and one pour method: Recipe: Up to 30g of coffee Medium grind size 1:14-1:17 ratio depending on roast level (darker- tighter, lighter- wider) Water temp 85-100C depending on roast level 3x mass of coffee for bloom Agitate (can excavate or Wet WDT) Wait 1-2 minutes Pour rest of water at 6-8g/s with optimal height for deep turbulence Just swirl if draining slowly OR Wet WDT if somewhat quick OR turn bed over with spoon if draining quickly Total time: 2-3 min IF 1min bloom time 3-4min IF 2 min bloom time”
