PSA: That barista who corrected my pour over technique actually changed my mind
I was at a shop in Portland last month and ordered a natural Ethiopian pour over. The barista watched me take my first sip and said "you're letting it cool too long before the bloom." I got defensive at first because I've been making coffee at home for 4 years. But she showed me her temp-controlled kettle and we did a side by side. The difference in flavor was huge, like night and day. Has anyone else had a random barista call them out and actually learn something from it?

Read a study that said water temp changes extraction more than grind size.

Did you actually notice the difference in flavor right away or did you have to try it a few times?
