I was grinding my beans for months before I realized my water was the problem
I kept buying new gear, thinking my coffee tasted flat because of the grinder or the machine. Then a barista friend came over, used my exact setup, and asked if I was using tap water from the city line. He was right, I was. He made a cup with a bottle of spring water he had, and the difference was like night and day. All that mineral buildup was killing the flavor. Anyone else have a simple fix that made a huge change?

Yeah, read a whole thing about how water hardness can totally block the coffee oils. Makes sense now why my old place had such bad coffee.
