Splash about 10x more than I measure coffee grounds now

Used to weigh every single bean on a scale down to 0.1g but after cafe hopping in Austin last month I realized the baristas just eyeball it and the coffee tastes better. Who cares if you're off by 2 grams when the water temp or grind size messes you up way more anyway? Am I the only one who ditched the scale for morning cups?

Exactly. I spent six months weighing every dose down to the tenth of a gram and then I went to this shop in Portland where the dude just scooped grounds out of a jar with a spoon. Best pour over I've had in my life. Realized I was just making coffee harder than it needed to be.

What made you finally trust your eye over the scale after weighing every bean for so long?
