>I appreciate the pour-over equipment advice that I've been given since yesterday from anons here
Autists.
>I've been looking for alternatives to the Hario grinder
Good.
>I saw the Timemore Chestnut C2 mentioned on SlowPour's website, and seen a few videos of people praising it as a good mid-tier
Same. Nothing exceptional, but good in multiple areas.
>but are maybe 2x the cost of others I've looked at just for the grinder alone
"""Good""" hand grinders are a speciality piece of kit for a small market, they're going to be expensive, and with the """good""" ones, you get what you pay for. Grind consistency.
>The anons in this general have passionate, differing opinions
That's because this thread is overflowing with autists. You come into this thread and hear;
>*Brew methood* is a pile of shit!
And you're like;
>No it's not!
And you have that same back and forth, with some random fucking coffee autist, on a Mongolian basket weaving forum, eight hours a day, every fucking day.
> hope I'm not coming across as asking for spoonfeeding
You came to the right place, I failed to contact the coffee autists here before getting my first grinder, and as a result got shilled a Hario.
>I'd predict the clay to hold heat more efficiently
Yes and no. In order to hold heat, it needs to absorb heat. Different materials will leach heat from your brew at different rates. Barista Hustle have a chart that explains this.
The origami is great because you have a wider range of filters you can use.
You're a good kid, just make sure you use a scales, and write down your methodologies when brewing. If you get a stepped grinder, count your click from 0 and note it down. yagmi.

Am I a faggot for drinking coffee?

Digits confirm.

Because anyone can work in a specialty coffee shop, and make specialty coffee. The problem is, few choose to make specialty coffee.

Your first point is a massive problem with coffee. I don't think Hoffmeme wanted be the head of the church of mid-tier coffee, but he's there now, and people will religiously follow what he says.

Got a job interview tomorrow for a Senior Barista/Trainer position. They asked specifically for q graders, which I am not. About two years experience as a senior barista, and autism.
Any advice? Should I just show enthusiasm? Generally excited to get people to try out weird and interesting coffee, like macerated naturals on espresso.

He's right, but in the most uncharitable manner possible. Coffee doesn't have "Flavour" in the way you traditionally understand. It's all just varying levels of volatile acids and polyphenols. But to say notes are bullshit, can only be done in a manner that is insincere and uncharitable. If someone can't get "Blueberry" or "Raspberry", I'll ask if it's "Tart, almost juicy" Berry is just a subcategory below that.

It depends. I wouldn't recommend it as a set recipe for every coffee you use for espresso, but it's not a bad starting point for doing your volumetrics.

The manufacturer does say that the filters don't need to be rinsed, but then again, they do say that it can make espresso, so take that for what you will

You brewing those at home? What's your weight and yields like?
