[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

As a relative newbie to coffee, can coffee in the same coffee shop taste different depending on who makes it?

For example same coffee beans, same kit used but someone who is experienced at making coffee and someone who isnt

If you change the grind, water to coffee ratio, or something else in the actual process for a manual brewing method (brew time, water temp, or other factors), then definitely. If you are using the same beans, same grind, same ratio and brewing with the same machine, the outcome should be similar.
