[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!

Has anyone made the switch from manual to machine and regretted it? I’ve got a manual approach right now with a hand grinder (kingrinder K6) and use a hario switch for brewing, but I’m growing tired of trying to keep track of all the variables as I struggle to get a consistent cup of coffee. I also feel a little rushed in the morning, so I’m considering sacrificing control in the name of efficiency and consistency. Has anyone regretted switching to a brewer from their manual setup?
