I just recently started using a dripper! It has been amazing! I love the control you get while brewing. Started doing it on a little scale so I can get the water to bean ratio down more perfectly and I gotta say, it has been an incredible difference. I've been experimenting with the water temperature a little lately just to see what kind of difference it makes. All in all, it has been incredibly good fun! Although I still think the perfect breakfast is an expertly pulled espresso with a pain au chocolat accompanying it.
I've kind of prided myself on not being too fussy when it comes to brewing, but after doing it for X amount of time, I've been unable to avoid the conclusion that weighing and measuring your inputs really does wonders for a consistent good cup. Also, I'm on that mailing list too :)Started doing it on a little scale so I can get the water to bean ratio down more perfectly and I gotta say, it has been an incredible difference.
